Creating configurations in Symfony

Question

For a few hours now I\'ve been struggling to do the most simple thing you can imagine and it just won\'t work. I\'ve read tons of stackoverflow questions, read the complete

A few notices:

In config.yml, you are trying to define import as array. It seems like symfony doesn't allow creating array elements in the root of your config, meaning that you have to nest arrays deeper down the tree. So you can not do:

company_happy:
    import:
        path: /tmp
    another_import:
        ...

I am not sure this is exactly what you were trying to do, but you defined import as array, which makes me assume so.

On the other hand, you can do:

company_happy:
    imports:
        import:
            path: /tmp
        another_import:
            ...

Regarding no extension able to load the configuration error: Make sure your extension file is following naming convetions.It should be called CompanyHappyExtension.php with CompanyHappyExtension class defined inside.

I have created a sample CompanyHappyBundle bundle which is working fine on Symofny 3 (probably works on S2 as well). Feel free to clone/download it :)

The services.yml file is an added bonus, as you will most likely need it anyway.

src/Company/Bundle/HappyBundle/CompanyHappyBundle.php:

src/Company/Bundle/HappyBundle/DependencyInjection/CompanyHappyExtension.php

load('services.yml');

        $configuration = new Configuration();
        $options = $this->processConfiguration($configuration, $configs);

        // Do something with your options here
    }


}

src/Company/Bundle/HappyBundle/DependencyInjection/Configuration.php

root('company_happy');

        $rootNode
            ->children()
                ->arrayNode('imports')
                    ->prototype('array')
                    ->children()
                        ->scalarNode('path')->defaultValue('/tmp')->end()
                        ->scalarNode('method')->defaultValue('ALL')->end()
                        ->booleanNode('move_mail')->defaultValue(true)->end()
                        ->booleanNode('mark_read')->defaultValue(true)->end()
                    ->end()
                ->end()
            ->end()
        ;

        return $treeBuilder;
    }
}

src/Company/Bundle/HappyBundle/Resources/config/config.yml

company_happy:
    imports:
        import:
            path: /tmp
