Symfony 2 loading custom configuration file - php

Question

I want to add a new configuration file in Bundle/Resources/config. I've tried following http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/bundles/extension.html , but it doesn't work as it should and I get
There is no extension able to load the configuration for
"mailbroker_mail_details"
My files:
MailbrokerMailDetailsExtension.php
<?php
namespace Mailbroker\MailDetailsBundle\DependencyInjection;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\Config\FileLocator;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\DependencyInjection\Extension;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Loader;
class MailbrokerMailDetailsExtension extends Extension
{
/**
* {#inheritDoc}
*/
public function load(array $configs, ContainerBuilder $container)
{
$configuration = new Configuration();
$config = $this->processConfiguration($configuration, $configs);
$loader = new Loader\YamlFileLoader($container, new FileLocator(__DIR__.'/../Resources/config'));
$loader->load('services.yml');
$loader->load('canonisers.yml');
}
public function getAlias()
{
return 'mailbroker_mail_details';
}
}
Configuration.php
<?php
namespace Mailbroker\MailDetailsBundle\DependencyInjection;
use Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Builder\TreeBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\ConfigurationInterface;
class Configuration implements ConfigurationInterface
{
/**
* {#inheritDoc}
*/
public function getConfigTreeBuilder()
{
$treeBuilder = new TreeBuilder();
$rootNode = $treeBuilder->root('mailbroker_mail_details');
$rootNode
->children()
->scalarNode('abc')->end()
->end()
;
return $treeBuilder;
}
}
canonisers.yml
mailbroker_mail_details:
abc: 123
The Configuration is correct (when placed in app/config/config.yml it loads as it should), canonisers.yml is loaded correctly, but for some reason I can't make it work together. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Well, I have not tried it but you should be able to use the Yaml extension to load in the canonisers.yml file directly and add it to configs. Not recommended (bypasses the application caching stuff) but it might work:
use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml;
class MailbrokerMailDetailsExtension extends Extension
{
public function load(array $configs, ContainerBuilder $container)
{
$file = __DIR__.'/../Resources/config/canonisers.yml';
$configs = array_merge($configs,Yaml::parse(file_get_contents($file));
$configuration = new Configuration();
$config = $this->processConfiguration($configuration, $configs);
....
Completely untested. You might need to add to app/config/config.yml
mailbroker_mail_details: ~
Just to get past the error message. Not sure.
Let me know if it works.

Ok, so #Iltar from #symfony irc channel pointed me to cookbook: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/bundles/prepend_extension.html
Long story short, PrependExtensionInterface with prepend method.
It was added since I last read through symfony book and cookbook, and it wasn't exactly googlable in this case, so I'll just leave the link here for other people.
