Tracy PHP debugger bundle for Symfony framework

Tracy PHP debugger bundle for Symfony

This bundle adds the powerful Tracy debug tool to the Symfony2 framework.

Why is Tracy better than the Symfony build-in debugger?

• Exception stack trace contains values of all method arguments.
• Request & Response & Server environment information is displayed on the error page.
• The whole error page with full stack trace can be easily stored to some directory as HTML file (useful on production mode).
• Webmaster can be notified by email about errors that occured on the site.

See full Tracy docs and sample error page.

Tracy is a part of the Nette Framework.

Installation

1. Install via composer:

composer require kutny/tracy-bundle

2. Add KutnyTracyBundle to your application kernel. For This bundle to catch as many errors as possible it should be the first bundle in the bundles array.

// app/AppKernel.php
public function registerBundles()
{
    return array(
        new Kutny\TracyBundle\KutnyTracyBundle(),
        // ...
    );
}

Configuration

1) app.php / app_dev.php

Open web/app.php and web/app_dev.php files and add the following code before the AppKernel class is instantiated:

\Tracy\Debugger::enable();

Or force the production mode where only general server error page will be displayed to the user (read more):

\Tracy\Debugger::enable(\Tracy\Debugger::PRODUCTION);

I also recommend you to enable Tracy in a strict mode so it can handle errors of type E_NOTICE and E_WARNING too.

\Tracy\Debugger::$strictMode = true;

2) config.yml

kutny_tracy:
    emails: ['[e-mail]'] # error notification recipients
    exceptions_directory: <directory> # optional, default directory set to %kernel.logs_dir%/exceptions
    store_username_in_server_variable: true|false # optional, default value = false; stores username of logged user in $_SERVER['SYMFONY_USERNAME'] - helps you to find out which user encountered the error
    ignored_exceptions:
        - Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\BadRequestHttpException
        - RuntimeException
        - UnexpectedValueException
