REPL bundle
===========

[](#repl-bundle)

---

**Important**: This bundle is no longer under active development. Consider using [PsyshBundle](https://github.com/theofidry/PsyshBundle) as an alternative.

---

Provides a `repl` command for the Symfony console, powered by [Boris](https://github.com/d11wtq/boris).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add as a development dependency to [composer.json](http://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require --dev 99designs/repl-bundle
```

Register the bundle in `app/AppKernel.php`:

```
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // all your run-time bundles
        );

        if ($this->getEnvironment() == 'dev') {
            $bundles[] = new NinetyNine\Bundle\ReplBundle();
        }

        return $bundles;
    }
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Run via the Symfony console:

```
app/console repl
```

The following variables are imported into the global namespace:

- `$kernel`: Application kernel
- `$container`: The DI container

Issues
------

[](#issues)

Boris depends on [PHP's process control extension](http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.pcntl.php). Even if this is installed, you may see errors like this:

```
PHP Warning:  pcntl_fork() has been disabled for security reasons in /my-project/vendor/d11wtq/boris/lib/Boris/Boris.php on line 148
PHP Notice:  fwrite(): send of 1 bytes failed with errno=32 Broken pipe in /my-project/vendor/d11wtq/boris/lib/Boris/EvalWorker.php on line 205

```

If you see these errors, you'll need to edit your PHP CLI configuration (typically found at `/etc/php5/cli/php.ini`) to allow invocation of the named functions.
