Symfony 4: How to disable profiler in test-env through command line

I am trying for quite some time now to disable the profiler in the test-environment. The only way it works is manually setting APP_ENV=test in file .env but I want to do this through the command line, not by editing a file.

Here's everything I tried:

  • I tried editing bin/console like described in Chris Brown's answer in this thread: Load different .env file with a Symfony 4 command (I also added the file .env.test, and according to xdebug it loads the appropriate file and runs through the appropriate code and also the variables $env and $debug get the appropriate value when I run the server with --env=test --no-debug)

  • I tried setting profiler: enabled: false like described in flu's answer in this thread: How to disable profiler in Symfony2 in production? (in config/packages/test/framework.yaml)

  • I tried setting the profiler line in bundles.php to

Symfony\Bundle\WebProfilerBundle\WebProfilerBundle::class => ['dev' => true],

and to

Symfony\Bundle\WebProfilerBundle\WebProfilerBundle::class => ['dev' => true, 'test' => false, 'test_cached' => false],

I tried those solutions separately and also all together, still the profiler keeps popping up. Does anybody have an idea?

EDIT: After applying Alister Bulman's answer the command gives me this:

#php bin/console -e test debug:config framework profiler

Current configuration for "framework.profiler"
==============================================

enabled: true
collect: false
only_exceptions: false
only_master_requests: false
dsn: 'file:%kernel.cache_dir%/profiler'

EDIT 2: Thanks to Jared Farrish I just found out the browser is receiving the website in "dev" mode although the server is started in test environment on cli. Obviously editing bin/console and public/index.php is not enough, they're not called when the server receives a request from the browser.

EDIT 3: So I found out the http request goes first to public/index.php, but whatever I do, I cannot seem to make anything available there which was defined in bin/console although the whole server is started there in the first place. Anyone an idea how this can be done?

Solution

  • I found it myself. What I did was use a functionality of php.ini which is called "auto_prepend_file" where you can specify a PHP file which gets executed automatically before the actual PHP content is executed. So in there I put a path to a file with following content:

    <?php

$_ENV['APP_ENV'] = 'test';
$_ENV['APP_DEBUG'] = 0;
