symfony as symlink (callable from anywhere)

[xerc]

// prevent symlink obfuscation
chdir(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']));

symfony1/data/bin/symfony

Lines 12 to 15 in 573d579

	// project exists?
	if (file_exists('config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php'))
	{
	require_once('config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php');

I don't get it. What changes are you requested? Could you submit a PR?

[xerc]

$ ln -s ~/web/symfony/lib/vendor/bin/symfony /tmp/symfony
$ cd /tmp && php symfony

will only show the symfony commands - but not lib/tasks/*

[xerc]

@j0k3r ; should running symfony outside of the project directory raise an error or only with args (actual behavior)?

symfony1/lib/task/sfBaseTask.class.php

Lines 57 to 61 in 0c9ba11

	public function checkProjectExists()
	{
	if (!file_exists('symfony')) {
	throw new sfException('You must be in a symfony project directory.');
	}

@xerc What is your suggestion, how should the symfony know where the "project root" is?

[xerc]

@connorhu as seen above symfony checks itself in this version (when running a task)

Behaviours

The actual working behaviour

cd path/to/symfony-project-root
./symfony --version

But, that does not work

cd path/outside
path/to/symfony-project-root/symfony --version

Possible solution

1. Simple one

Having a wrapper script.

#! /bin/sh -eu

cd path/to/symfony-project-root

./symfony "$@"

2. Harder one

Adding the feature to be able to execute symfony1 task on any current working directory.

3. Looking for current Symfony behaviour
