Symfony2 WebProfiler

Symfony2 just introduced its WebProfiler, the utility will soon be the favorite of all programmers. Most veterans will recall that five years ago was the first Symfony framework to include a web debug toolbar. This bar displays useful information for debugging applications and provides access to all logs with a single click:

Symfony2 presents its WebProfiler as the great evolution of the web debug toolbar. Whenever you view a page, Symfony2 generates a unique token debug (pictured above, the token is 4c7e59811509c). By clicking on that token, it shows the WebProfiler with all the debug information:

In the menu on the left side you can see the five main sections to the Profiler which now has:

Request: displays information about the request and response (parameters, cookies, headers).
Exception: if the request has caused an exception, it shows the type of exception, the message from the server and the whole execution trace.
Events: Shows the events raised during execution of the application (along with their event listeners) and the events that have been identified but have not come to run.
Logs: Displays the same information to log the original debug toolbar.
Doctrine / Propel: shows the queries to the database and the time taken for each.
Another great features of the Profiler is that it keeps all your information in a database called SQLiteprofiler.db and stored in the directory cache/ in your application. With this database, you’ll be able to consult the entire execution history of your application, which will facilitate the clearance of projects:

If you want to try the Profiler, you need version of the sandbox Symfony2 PR3, which has not yet been published as a downloadable file. Therefore, when you can only download via git:

mkdir sandbox
git clone http://github.com/symfony/symfony-sandbox.git sandbox
cd sandbox /
git checkout PR3
Now you can try accessing http://localhost/sandbox/index_dev.php Continue reading
