I'd like to call an .yml file located in app/config from my controller.

Here is the code : 

$menu_yml = __DIR__.'%kernel.root_dir%/app/config/main_menu.yml';
$menu = Yaml::parse($menu_yml);

I've tried many options, from this to FileLocator or Finder, but i can't reach out of the bundle. Any ideas ?

Thanks a lot !

    if you really want to use a new yml file from the app/config folder i would suggest that you import it in your config.yml so that you can access it from the container (it will be autoload by the dependency injection).

The kernel.root_dir is the absolute path of the root dir of the symfony application so you don't need the __DIR__ . But you need to ask to the container the value of the params.

As example, you can do (in your controller):

$root_dir = $this->container->getParameter('kernel.root_dir');
$menu_yml = $root_dir.'/app/config/main_menu.yml';
$menu = Yaml::parse($menu_yml);

You can check the value of the parameters via command line with the command:

app/console container:debug --parameter=kernel.root_dir

Hope this help
