I can't install Bootstrap to Symfony2

Question

I'm trying to install bootstrap to my symfony2 project. I basically followed steps from this: http://bootstrap.braincrafted.com/getting-started

However, when I try to run my server using: php app\console server:run I got this error:

[InvalidArgumentException] the file "filters/assets.xml" does not exist (in: C:..\ProjectName\vendor\symfony\assetic-bundle\Symfony\Bundle\AsseticBundle\DependencyInjection/..Resources/config).

I already go to that folder and can't found that assets.xml file.

I'm pretty sure that there's something went wrong with my config.yml file. Here is the config of assetic

assetic: java: /usr/bin/java filters: cssembed: jar: %kernel.root_dir%/Resources/java/cssembed-0.4.5.jar yui_js: jar: %kernel.root_dir%/Resources/java/yuicompressor.jar lessphp: file: %kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/leafo/lessphp/lessc.inc.php apply_to: ".less$" assets: jquery_js: inputs: - '%kernel.root_dir%/app/Resources/public/js/vendor/jquery.js' filters: [?yui_js] bootstrap_js: inputs: - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-transition.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-alert.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-modal.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-dropdown.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-scrollspy.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-tab.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-tooltip.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-popover.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-button.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-collapse.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-carousel.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-typeahead.js' - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/js/bootstrap-affix.js' filters: [?yui_js] bootstrap_less: inputs: - '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less' filters: [lessphp,cssembed]

Can anyone help me out?

Yes, Windows. Could you take a look at my config.yml for assetic. I have no idea — Toby D

As i see you have configured lessphp as one of your assetic filters and not less ( as you are on windows and have not configured less properly ). Change config.yml this to actually use lessphp instead of the less command

# app/config/config.yml

assetic:
    # ...
    assets:
        bootstrap_css:
            inputs:
                - %kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less
                - %kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twitter/bootstrap/less/responsive.less
            filters:
                - lessphp             # change this form less to lessphp

Furthermore there might be something wrong with your paths , looking at the error:

C:..\ProjectName\vendor\symfony\asseticbundle\Symfony\Bundle\AsseticBundle\DependencyInjection/..Resources/config

... should be a valid path like ...

C:\ProjectName\vendor\symfony\assetic-bundle\Symfony\Bundle\AsseticBundle\DependencyInjection/../Resources/config

... for symfony/php to actually be able find filters/assets.xml.

I just went through this and found this bundle more helpful than trying to install it outright ...

https://github.com/phiamo/MopaBootstrapBundle

It's documentation can be a little fuzzy, but overall it worked fairly well. I used it with SASS, but it has LESS and plain CSS options as well.
