From inside a controller I need to get the path of one directory inside a bundle. So I have:
class MyController extends Controller{ public function copyFileAction(){ $request = $this->getRequest(); $directoryPath = '???'; // /web/bundles/mybundle/myfiles $request->files->get('file')->move($directoryPath); // ... } } How to get correct $directoryPath?
There is a better way to do it:
$this->container->get('kernel')->locateResource('@AcmeDemoBundle') will give an absolute path to AcmeDemoBundle
$this->container->get('kernel')->locateResource('@AcmeDemoBundle/Resource') will give path to Resource dir inside AcmeDemoBundle, and so on...
InvalidArgumentException will be thrown if such dir/file does not exist.
Also, on a container definition, you can use:
my_service: class: AppBundle\Services\Config arguments: ["@=service('kernel').locateResource('@AppBundle/Resources/customers')"] EDIT
Your services don't have to depend on kernel. There is a default symfony service you can use: file_locator. It uses Kernel::locateResource internally, but it's easier to double/mock in your tests.
service definition
my_service: class: AppBundle\Service arguments: ['@file_locator'] class
namespace AppBundle; use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Config\FileLocator; class Service { private $fileLocator; public function __construct(FileLocator $fileLocator) { $this->fileLocator = $fileLocator; } public function doSth() { $resourcePath = $this->fileLocator->locate('@AppBundle/Resources/some_resource'); } } 
Something like this:
$directoryPath = $this->container->getParameter('kernel.root_dir') . '/../web/bundles/mybundle/myfiles'; 
dirname($this->container->getParameter('kernel.root_dir')) . '/web/bundles/mybundle/myfiles'
