Using Symfonys dump in production

I used the dump function within one of our applications and our client got used to it during development (tbh I didn't know that it won't work in prod). Now the application is going live which means no more debug mode - and no more dump function.

Is there any way to enable the dump function during prod?

Read Symfony documentation 🧐, function 'dump()' is part of 'VarDumper' component, it's a dev dependency, so if you want to use it in prod you need to install it as required dependency:

❌ $ composer require --dev symfony/var-dumper

✔ $ composer require symfony/var-dumper

  • 🚨 But I guess it's not a good practice use it in production, it could show sensitive information.

You have to indeed add this line to AppKernel.php:

 $bundles[] = new Symfony\Bundle\DebugBundle\DebugBundle();

But also change this boolean in app.php from false to true:

$kernel = new AppKernel('prod', true); // true is replacing false, in second argument here

Tested for Symfony 4.4 and works.

Despite weird will of use dump() in production env...

If I am not mistaken dump() is from DebugBundle which is enabled only in dev and test env. 

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = [
        new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\SecurityBundle\SecurityBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\TwigBundle\TwigBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\MonologBundle\MonologBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\SwiftmailerBundle\SwiftmailerBundle(),
        new Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DoctrineBundle(),
        new Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\SensioFrameworkExtraBundle(),
        new AppBundle\AppBundle(),
    ];
    if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), ['dev', 'test'], true)) {
        $bundles[] = new Symfony\Bundle\DebugBundle\DebugBundle();
        $bundles[] = new Symfony\Bundle\WebProfilerBundle\WebProfilerBundle();
        $bundles[] = new Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\SensioDistributionBundle();
        if ('dev' === $this->getEnvironment()) {
            $bundles[] = new Sensio\Bundle\GeneratorBundle\SensioGeneratorBundle();
            $bundles[] = new Symfony\Bundle\WebServerBundle\WebServerBundle();
        }
    }
    return $bundles;
}

As you can see above DebugBundle is registered only in previous mentioned envs. Probably moving it out of the if will allow you to use dump() in production.
