My Symfony command template
Published on 2019-11-24 • Modified on 2019-11-24
You can generate a command with the maker bundle (php bin/console make:command). I use a slightly different template where the help text is dynamically generated with constants. These are also used as parameters to set the various options, so you don't have duplicated code. Remove the constructor parameter as it is specific to this blog (It's a parameter bound in services.yaml). To run the command, I will use a CommandTester this time instead of using the Process component.
