sfConfig::get in a task in symfony

Question

I have tried to use a parameter in my app.yml file inside a task in symfony 1.4, but it doesnt get the value.

sfConfig::get()

Do you have any advice?

By default tasks are ran only with a project - meaning they don't have access to your settings in app.yml. You either need to:

• explicitly pass an app parameter every time you call the task, this is done like:

  php symfony ns:task --application=frontend
  

• add it as a default parameter in your configure():

  $this->addOptions(array(
    new sfCommandOption('application', "app", sfCommandOption::PARAMETER_REQUIRED, 'The application name', "frontend")
  ));
