Upgraded Symfony 4.4 to 5.4

in

I’ve upgraded my website to Symfony 5.4 from 4.4. I’ve continued on without Symfony Flex, as I had when updating from 3.4 to 4.4. The procedure was fairly similar to that, fixing any Symfony 4 deprecations and then updating the composer version constraints, fixing anything broken after that. I also switched from requiring the symfony/symfony repo to requiring individual components. It went fairly smoothly, aside from needing to fix a few things after the composer update.

CSS Wishlist

in

After reading Eric Meyer’s and Dave Rupert’s recent CSS Wishlist, I decided to make my own. Working with CSS for many years, I have come across many things I’d like to see. Many have come about or improved since then, but there are still things I come across that I’d like to see. I agree with many of Eric and Dave’s items, and put them in my own list if I had more to say about them or especially want them. Here is the list of what I could come up with:

Ansible, Vagrant, and Symfony `var` permissions

in

I have moved to using VirtualBox VM’s for my local web development. I use Vagrant and Ansible to set them up. For my site, I use synced folders to share the site files from the local machine to the dev VM. This limits what permissions can be set on the files though, and doesn’t work well for Symfony’s var folder stuff, eg cache and logs. The normal Symfony permissions for those folders use ACL’s, but those cannot be set on Vagrant synced files. My solution was to create a /var/www/var folder to store such folders for any sites on the VM, and symlink them into place in the shared folder location. I did this with Ansible so that it would be reproducible. Since I ran into some issues getting it working, I thought I’d blog about it.
