  • Don't you have any issues (alert opening in JS)? are you using the app_dev.php URL? don't you have a disabled conf in config_dev.yml with profiler.enabled: false?

  • hi, can you check my config.yml and config_dev.yml if there are problems?

  • Ensure you are on the dev environment. I had the same problem and it turned out I was on the prod environment locally. Dump out {{ app.environment }} to confirm.

Reset to default

The profiler toolbar needs <body> ... </body>. I guess you don't have it in your twig file(s).

Profiler

# app/config/config_dev.yml
web_profiler:
    toolbar: true
    intercept_redirects: false

Example twig file.

The line {% extends '::base.html.twig' %} will extend app/Resources/views/base.html.twig which injects default <body>...</body> into your custom twig files.

{% extends '::base.html.twig' %}

{% block body %}
   Hello!
{% endblock %}

  • Did you try to hard code true in the place of %debug_toolbar% to make it look like mine above?

  • yes ,, but still no luck ... instead I got an error like this "OutOfMemoryException: Error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2883686 bytes) in C:\xampp\htdocs\Editracker\vendor\symfony\symfony\src\Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\DataCollector\DataCollector.php line 35"

  • These is a simple solution for that particular eeror. Just google it.

In case your action not returning html code (e.g json API) and you want to use profiler:

Quick and dirty solution:

return new Response("<html><body>Debug data</body></html>");

Even quicker and dirtier solution - returning non Response type in controller will raise exception with profiler enabled response:

return 1;

If your application is running by Symfony >=2.4 you can also use X-Debug-Token which contains debug token and X-Debug-Token-Link header which contains link to profiler page. If you want to use this method Chrome extension Symfony2 Profiler shortcut will increase your user experience.

    A shorter dirty solution return new Response("<body></body>"). This is nice when you have actions that run but don't have to output anything

have you enabled it in the config.yml or parameters.yml file? Are you in dev mode ? calling app_dev.php ?

also, it sometimes is minismised to a tidy square in the bottom right of the browser.

just some ideas that may help

Like the answer above has indicated, the web profiler doesn't appear in simple twig files that have a tag etc.

{% extends 'base.html.twig' %}

{% block body %}
    Hello {{name}}.
{% endblock %}

shows the web profiler, but something simple like:

 <body>
    Hello {{name}}.
 </body>

would work, but not show the web profiler.

I had the same issue.

The problem was in my routes definition. I has something like this:

load_home:
    path: /{page}
    defaults: {_controller: ExpatsBundle:Pages/Home:index, _format: html|json, page: 1}
    methods: GET
    requirements:
        page: \d+

So changing the _format: html|json to _format: html has solved the problem.

I had the same issue and tried all of the above to no avail. I switched windows in the browser to another application (with the wdt) and then switched back and all of a sudden it appeared (I had tried hard reload, etc, etc).
