We have a Symfony 4.3 web application hosted on Heroku. This is a new setup and we never managed to have the dev mode to work correctly. There are plenty of similar issues online but none fixes the exact symptoms we are facing here.
The project was created with a command line:
composer create-project symfony/website-skeleton appName
Let me clarify that: we do not want to change from "dev" to "prod"
We need to be able to use the application in dev mode in order to take advantage of error debugging for PHP as per the article "How to Customize Error Pages" for Symfony 4.3 here

If we change from 'dev' to 'prod' environment the application works but we cannot see the errors the way we wish to. We could use the command below (but this is not the point we are trying to solve here) in order to use "Symfony Var Dumper Server". We do not want to use this method.
./bin/console server:dump
It seems that we might be missing a dependency but composer update
and composer install
and composer dump-autoload
did not solve anything.
Also note the message "Did you forget a "use" statement for another namespace? in /tmp/build_a45354eb0ee7b20dd7ec870ed4fb1980/src/Kernel.php:23" - Is it possible that the WebProfilerBundle is broken in the master repository?

Our obstacle: trying to deploy to heroku using dev

We currently do not know how to install or verify that bundles are indeed present and operational for Symfony 4.3 - ideas in this direction might help but not only.

Heroku will not install dev dependencies in your dyno. This is documented here: Build behaviour.
Specifically, heroku will run:
composer install --no-dev --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader --no-interaction
The theory goes that heroku is for production like code, so development dependencies do not belong there. Usually, these dependencies would only be installed on the developers' machines, not on any deployed application instance.
If you really need this on deployed code, I guess you should admit this are not development dependencies but regular dependencies, and move them from require-dev
to require
.
Go into composer.json
Change this:
"post-install-cmd": [
"@auto-scripts"
],
To this:
"post-install-cmd": [
],
Then you don't run the post install scripts.
As Sylvery said, Adding APP_ENV = prod in config vars fixed it for me.
heroku config:set APP_ENV=prod
or using heroku interface :
