I need to add a simple call to (new sfAPCCache())->clean(), or to apc_clear_cache() when the command ./symfony cc is performed.
Anyone knows how to achieve this? In which point should I edit my symfony application, or how should i register this additional behavior?
Actually, I discovered that I can listen to an event to add new behavior to ./symfony cc:
$this->dispatcher->connect('task.cache.clear', array('ClearAPCCache','clearCache')) Remains the problem that is not possibile to clear the APC cache from a command-line task because APC cache is related to the web server process, while the symfony command is a command-line script.
You just have to create your own custom task.
./symfony generate:task your_task_name In this task (in the lib folder) you just have to run something like
protected function execute($arguments = array(), $options = array()) { // Run your own apc cache // ... /// Then run the cache:clear $this->runTask('cache:clear'); } 
symfony cache:clear is called on a large number of applications in a centralized manner, so it is important that I can overwrite the behavior of the cache:clear. Adding new tasks would not solve the problem, unfortunately.
$this->dispatcher->connect('task.cache.clear', array('ClearAPCCache','clearCache')); -- remains the problem that is not possibile to clear the APC cache from a command-line task.
