Symfony "app_dev.php" cache not clearing

Question

I'm working with symfony and followed the doc about using app_dev.php to work without worrying about the cache... But it doesn't work for me. I'm often forced to clear_cache to see my changes in twig templates !

My app_dev.php :

$loader = require_once __DIR__.'/../app/bootstrap.php.cache';
Debug::enable();

require_once __DIR__.'/../app/AppKernel.php';

$kernel = new AppKernel('dev', true);
//$kernel->loadClassCache();
$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$response = $kernel->handle($request);
$response->send();
$kernel->terminate($request, $response);

Any help would be appreciated.

You should post your config.yml and config_dev.yml, maybe you have done something to the twig config, certainly be default nothing is cached in dev — mcfedr

You are developing on your local machine or on remote server ? — mickdev
– mickdev, Commented Mar 20, 2017 at 23:04
that's what I was thinking. You should take a look to the caching system of your server. — mickdev

Navigate to your app config file. In twig configuration settings (under twig:) you can set as below:

twig:
   cache: false

It is default set to %kernel.cache_dir%/twig, May be it will help you.

Interesting... I will try it today and say how it goes !

Maulik Savaliya Over a year ago

First remove all the cache and then check that still it is generating cache for twig or not. :)

Jeremy Belolo Over a year ago

Didn't have time yet, I will tomorrow !

NOTE: if you do exactly this in your config.yml, it will disable cache as well in dev as in prod ENV. See my answer below

Make sure you disable cache only in dev environment!

The easy way to achive this is to create config_dev.yml where you hold your "overridden" settings only for dev env

in config.yml

# Twig Configuration
twig:
    #you other twig settings
    cache: true

in config_dev.yml (in the same directory as config.yml)

# imports settgins from config.yml
imports:
    - { resource: config.yml }

#override 

twig:
    cache: false

That's all. each time you access your app with app_dev.php settings from config_dev.yml will apply.

Note: you don't have to copy all settings to config_dev but only those you like to override

P.S. The pattern config_name_<ENV>.yml applies to other conf-files too, not only config.yml
