Why isn't the Twig debug working on my Drupal 8.2.6 site?

This is the folder structure.

File structure

These are the folder permissions.

Folder permissions

This is the content of the settings.php file.

$settings['hash_salt'] = 'DEVELOPMENT_SALT'; $settings['update_free_access'] = FALSE; $settings['file_public_base_url'] = 'http://localhost/files'; $settings['file_public_path'] = 'sites/default/files'; $settings['file_private_path'] = 'sites/default/private'; $settings['file_scan_ignore_directories'] = [ 'node_modules', 'bower_components', ]; if (file_exists(__DIR__ . '/../development/settings.development.php')) { include __DIR__ . '/../development/settings.development.php'; }

Here I include /../development/settings.development.php.

assert_options(ASSERT_ACTIVE, TRUE); \Drupal\Component\Assertion\Handle::register(); /** * Enable local development services. */ $settings['container_yamls'][] = __DIR__ . '/development.services.yml'; $databases['default']['default'] = array( 'database' => 'dbname', 'username' => 'dbusername', 'password' => 'pw', 'prefix' => '', 'host' => '127.0.0.1', 'port' => '3306', 'namespace' => 'Drupal\\Core\\Database\\Driver\\mysql', 'driver' => 'mysql', ); $settings['hash_salt'] = 'DEVELOPMENT'; $config['system.logging']['error_level'] = 'verbose'; $config['system.performance']['css']['preprocess'] = FALSE; $config['system.performance']['js']['preprocess'] = FALSE; $settings['cache']['bins']['render'] = 'cache.backend.null'; $settings['cache']['bins']['dynamic_page_cache'] = 'cache.backend.null'; $settings['extension_discovery_scan_tests'] = TRUE; $settings['rebuild_access'] = TRUE; $settings['skip_permissions_hardening'] = TRUE;

Here I also add development.services.yml.

parameters: http.response.debug_cacheability_headers: true twig.config: debug: true auto_reload: true cache: false services: cache.backend.null: class: Drupal\Core\Cache\NullBackendFactory

Things I have checked/done:

  • Checked if all these files are loaded -> They are
  • Checked the indentation of the development.services.yml -> Checks out
  • Cleared all the different caches, rebuild them, etc -> If I change a template, it changes, but no Twig debugging

sites/default/files AND sites/default/private are not used by Drupal.

Try to change your development.services.yml to following. this works for me correctly(I hope works for you too) . 

services: cache.backend.null: class: Drupal\Core\Cache\NullBackendFactory # Enable Twig debugging. parameters: twig.config: debug: true auto_reload: true cache: false

also this article about setting up debugging on Drupal 8 is very good for future visitors of this question.

Services should come before parameters ...also... If you don't want to enable all the 'stuff' you have in settings.local.php you can just add... $settings['container_yamls'][] = DRUPAL_ROOT . '/sites/development.services.yml';
to the bottom of your settings.php file to turn on twig debug after adding the parameters to development.services.yml.

I use both this and...

if (file_exists($app_root . '/' . $site_path . '/settings.local.php')) { include $app_root . '/' . $site_path . '/settings.local.php';

Commenting out one or the other depending on what I need.

It seems everything is correct and I guess you just forget check "Show comments" on your browser.
