How to silence deprecation errors in the console for Symfony 6.4 #52270

I know this is not the first time this question has been asked, and I've read many of the discussions and attempts to silence deprecations, specifically deprecations outside of one's own code.

I'm testing 6.4 now, and the console is so full of deprecations I can't do anything about that I want to stop testing.

symfony/symfony-docs#17592
#35575 (filed with Symfony 4.4 and still open!)
https://www.reddit.com/r/symfony/comments/pdcjf1/how_do_i_shut_up_deprecations/

I've added

SYMFONY_DEPRECATIONS_HELPER=weak

to .env.local

I've hacked at monolog.yaml, based on some of the comments above.

when@dev:
    monolog:
        channels:
            - deprecation
            - scrape
        handlers:
            deprecation:
                type: "null"
                channels: [ deprecation ]
            main:
                type: stream
                path: "%kernel.logs_dir%/%kernel.environment%.log"
                level: debug
                channels: ["!event"]
            console:
                type: console
                process_psr_3_messages: false
                channels: ["!event", "!doctrine", "!console"]

In particular, I don't want to see the Symfony deprecations, as I'm sure the team is aware of them and may even be okay and will go away when bumping from 6.4 to 7. But mine I certainly want to see.

Many 3rd party bundles depend on doctrine/annotations, but seeing these messages when I'm trying to debug my own code is maddening.

I think this is so important that it should be documented when asking people to test 6.4.

you should configure your deprecation handler with bubble: false so that it stops the message instead of letting it reach next handlers.

Thanks! Because this was an old site being upgraded, I hadn't upgraded the monolog recipe and I had a hidden dev/monolog.yaml file overriding the settings. Working now, thanks!

Actually, bubble: false is useless for the null handler. This setting would be useful when using any other handler. But the NullHandler is special in Monolog. It does not have a configurable bubbling behavior. It always stops bubbling for any message it handles (as there would be no point using a NullHandler otherwise)

I've added it everywhere to all the handlers (and also to just deprecation). Is "null" correct for the handler? Does console need special handling for deprecation? I've played around with several combinations and haven't found the right one yet, but didn't even know about "bubble".

  when@dev:
    monolog:
      channels:
        - deprecation
        - scrape
      handlers:
        deprecation:
          bubble: false
          type: "null"
          channels: [ deprecation ]
        main:
          bubble: false
          type: stream
          path: "%kernel.logs_dir%/%kernel.environment%.log"
          level: debug
          channels: ["!event"]
        console:
          bubble: false
          type: console
          process_psr_3_messages: false
          channels: ["!event", "!doctrine", "!console"]

I'm having a hard time reproducing this on a new Symfony 6.4 project. I've copied over monolog.yaml and bin/console from a new Symfony 6.4 project.

Curiously, it sometimes works, making me think it's been fixed, then I close this issue, but then I re-run the same command and the deprecations come back.

It's really, really difficult to run console scripts with so many deprecation warnings. Any other suggestions? After every command I have to scroll back in my terminal to find the output. Many of these are Symfony deprecations, so I'm sure they'll be fixed eventually, but in the meantime, I'd love to fix all my own code and bundles.

I've generally noticed that in 6.4 where you see these deprecations it's because the recipes are out of date (composer recipes) from flex, and so lots of deprecated services are getting loaded. For example the annotations related one are because doctrine/annotations is deprecated in favour of attributes - and you likely still have the config/routes/annotations.yml file in place. So it be worth checking you have updated configurations/recipes as well.
