[Suggestion] routing completion without rebuilding the cache

[stof]

Currently, new routes are available for code completion only after the router cache is rebuilt. However, you are already parsing the routing definition files, as you can link to the route definition. Could it be possible to update the code completion as soon as new routes are added in the definition files ?

From what I am aware the plugin uses the app/cache/dev/appDevDebugProjectContainer.php which is generated by Symfony. You can either manually run app/console cache:warmup --env=dev if you are using annotations for routing or alternatively use the File Watchers plugin and set up a file watcher to warmup the cache when saving .yml files. See this screenshot.

I'm talking about the routing completion, so it does not uses app/cache/dev/appDevDebugProjectContainer.php for it, but the routing cache.

And I know that a cache warmup will rebuild it. However, the plugin is already able to parse the route definitions to link to the source, so it could use them to provide the completion as well without requiring any manual wiring.

And triggering a cache:warmup through a file watcher each time a yml file changes is not something I want to do. It would run lots of useless cache warmups (and potentially broken ones if some code is not in a working shape at the time the file watchers triggers the warmup). and each warmup will then trigger some further indexing (for instance by this plugin) by modifying the cache files even if they end up with the same content.

yes cache clear will help, but i have already implement a yml indexer, so at least i can provide them as "weak" one in realtime. iam currently refactoing some index related stuff, that also on my todo.

[stof]

btw, the same could be done for services (even if we cannot get all of them from service definitions given that compiler passes and DI extensions can alter them, so it should be considered weaker ones)

@Haehnchen What about routes defined in annotations?

[Haehnchen]

they are not indexed, because annotation are inside of an external plugin. that will take some more time to integrate...

@stof
i was also thinking about that. but need to check performance first, because most indexed services are parameter names that need to resolve again

Hello,

I just updated the plugin to 0.10.52 and I use tcpdf bundle in my project. The indexer seem to get stuck at indexing the file tcpdf.php which is around 25k lines of code. This was working before the plugin update. I tried invalidating the cache and restarting but the ide stays stuck at indexing and you cannot do anything before the indexing is finished.

I had to manually delete that tcpdf.php file temporary in order to continue my development.

@znahas thx

@Haehnchen np.

Hello! Would it be possible to have more than a simple "Weak service" pop-up on the service that is considered weak, like with a bit more documentation? From your conversation I still dont understand what is a weak service, and if there is a pref in phpStorm to turn this feature off.
Many thanks & Keep up the good work!
