How to get the Resources/Config folder path in Symfony2 Controller?

Question

How would I get the path to the Resources/config folder as a string in a controller context in Symfony 2?

I have tried looking into the container, but I did not spot anything.

Answer 1

There's no built in method to fetch it, but it's easy to figure out.

From within a controller:

__DIR__.'/../Resources/config'

In fact, you'll see your bundle's Extension class using it in its load() method.

Answer 2

Or you could get the kernel service and then run

$kernel->locateResource('@NameOfBundle/Resources/config/filename');
