To debug routes in Symfony, you can use the debug:router command, which is part of Symfony's built-in console tools.

This command allows you to view details about all the routes defined in your application, including their names, paths, and associated controllers.

Here’s how to use it:

1. Listing all routes

Run the following command to list all routes:

php bin/console debug:router

This will output a table with the following columns:

  • Name: The name of the route.
  • Method: The HTTP methods supported by the route (e.g., GET, POST).
  • Scheme: The scheme used by the route (e.g., https).
  • Host: The host pattern for the route.
  • Path: The path of the route.
  • Defaults: Default values assigned to the route parameters.
  • Requirements: Constraints like allowed HTTP methods or regular expressions for parameters.

2. Viewing details of a specific route

To see more detailed information about a specific route, pass the route name as an argument:

php bin/console debug:router <route_name>

This will show additional details like:

  • The route’s path.
  • The corresponding controller.
  • The route’s default values and requirements.

3. Filtering routes

You can filter the routes using different options, for example:

  • By HTTP Method:
php bin/console debug:router --method=GET
  • By Path:
php bin/console debug:router --show-controllers

This option includes the controller names in the list, which is useful for associating routes with their actions.

4. Additional Options

You can also use other options to refine the output:

  • --env: If you're working with different environments (e.g., dev, prod), you can specify the environment.
  • --show-controllers: To display the associated controller for each route.

This command is a handy way to quickly inspect and debug your routes, especially when you’re troubleshooting issues like route mismatches or missing parameters.
