Enabling Twig debug mode can make theming much easier: it adds comments to the output stating which template file is being used, enables the twig dump()
command, and disables some caching so that changes to Twig files usually show up right away.
However, you never want to enable Twig debugging on a shared server: the data it outputs can be used by malicious viewers of the site to glean sensitive information about the site, the administrator’s password hash, etc. Further, the performance overhead incurred makes the site easier to take down by flooding with traffic.
Enabling Twig debugging usually involves making a change to the site’s base services.yml
file (usually located in /web/sites/default
). However, to prevent human error (i.e.: accidentally committing a change to enable Twig debugging), we’ve made it so you can override services.yml
with a services.local.yml
file, which is ignored by git.
To enable twig debugging:
chmod u+w web/sites/default web/sites/default/*
example.settings.local.php
to web/sites/default
and rename the file to settings.local.php
:
cp web/sites/example.settings.local.php web/sites/default/settings.local.php
development.services.yml
in web/sites
with that in root
:
cp development.services.yml web/sites/development.services.yml
