fix(deps)!: Remove `runtime/frankenphp-symfony` dependency by 7-zete-7 · Pull Request #873 · dunglas/symfony-docker

7-zete-7 · 2025-11-30T21:31:52Z

The latest version of Symfony v7.4 introduces native runner support for FrankenPHP (see symfony/symfony#60503). The current new project initialization script explicitly adds the runtime/frankenphp-symfony dependency, which is no longer needed for projects running the latest version of Symfony.

For Symfony v8.0 (the default version), adding the runtime/frankenphp-symfony package results in an error (see #872).

With this PR, I propose removing the addition of the runtime/frankenphp-symfony dependency and explicitly indicating to Symfony which runtime should be used via the APP_RUNTIME env.

BREAKING CHANGE: Removing the APP_RUNTIME env will break existing Symfony <7.4 projects when using worker mode.

…ng for new projects

CI / Lint failed due the #874.

shulard · 2025-12-02T13:38:44Z

If we do this that way, it means that we can't use this repo easily with a version <7.4. Maybe we should introduce a condition :

If Symfony < 7.4 is required -> Keep the runtime ;
If not, drop it.

7-zete-7 · 2025-12-03T11:03:56Z

Hi, @shulard!

I agree with you, backward compatibility is important. Thanks for mentioning this. However, in this repository, backward compatibility is generally not implemented.

I can rewrite this PR to support backward compatibility. @dunglas @maxhelias Is this necessary?

Alternatively, instead of deleting lines, I can suggest commenting out it and adding the comment "Uncomment this lines for Symfony < 7.4". WDYT?

Summary of the impact of the current proposed changes:

For older versions of Symfony (<7.4), using worker mode will result in an error (the frankenphp_handle_request function will not be called).
For older versions of Symfony (<7.4), without using worker mode, it will work correctly.
For newer versions of Symfony (>=7.4), it will work correctly.

to me, its good to have this as sf 7.4 (lts) as minimum version 👍🏻

this project has a link from the official doc
so using latest symfony version is good
