Grumpy Error Bundle

What this bundle does?

Your day can always be a bit better more grumpy. This bundle simply adds a well-known and beloved cat to your error pages. It will greet scoff you in different ways and will not let you pet it - whether you're dreading on a leagy PHP 5.6 project or playing with a shiny new PHP 8 toy.

Why and how?!

The idea originated around a decade ago, back in the Symfony 2 days. While we all love the little happy ghost, after long hours of debugging of the mercator projection calculation code the happiness in our team dwindled. So, instead of being productive I decided to add a funny image to our error messages... and people wonder why developers are strange. I hope my old dev team doesn't hate me to this day :D

On the serious note, being nostalgic and going through old photos, I decided to recreate the old hack as a bundle which supports a wide range of PHP and Symfony versions, for all of us stuck maintaining ancient projects.

Requirements

• PHP: 5.5+/7.0+/8.0+
• Symfony: v3.3 - 6.2+
• You can adapt it easily to <3.3, but the design of the page changed. If you're a poor soul working with such an old version, please create an issue - I will add a version for older Symfony releases.

Installation

1. Add package via composer: composer require noflash/grumpy-error-bundle
2. If you're you're using Symfony Flex (default since v4.0) you're ready to go. Otherwise, you may need to add the bundle to your configuration:
   • If you have config/bundles.php, add NoFlash\GrumpyError\GrumpyErrorBundle::class => ['all' => true] there
   • For old directory structure (generally pre-4.0) add new NoFlash\GrumpyError\GrumpyErrorBundle() to app/AppKernel.php in $bundles

Tested Symfony Versions

Things has changed over the years, but legacy never dies. Thus, this bundle was tested with:

• Symfony 3.3.x on PHP 5.6 & 7.2 (initial version with new redesign)
• Symfony 4.1.x on PHP 7.2 (changed controller call syntax)
• Symfony 4.4.x on PHP 7.2 (changed how overriding exception/error controller is done)
• Symfony 6.2.x on PHP 8.2 (the newest version at the time of writing)

Note: For Symfony 4.1, if you're getting an error The service "web_profiler.controller.profiler" has a dependency on a non-existent service "twig". you need to install symfony/twig-bundle due to a Symfony bug.
