Configure view.yml per environment

Question

I would like to configure view.yml per environment.

In production:

default:
  http_metas:
    content-type: text/json

In dev:

default:
  http_metas:
    content-type: text/html

I need this because I want to debug json response with web debug toolbar. So, I basically need to set content type of response per environment. Is it possible to do it yml? If not, what's the right place to hook into?

You cannot do it in view.yml without rewriting the entire view config handler. I suppose there are a couple of alternatives for this specific example:

You could use the ysfDimensionsPlugin which allows you to specify different dimensions with different config files.
You could achieve this by adding or extending a filter in the filter chain, I suppose I would do this by extending sfRenderingFilter.

If however, you just want to inspect JSON output, why not use Firebug or Web Inspector?

No, I would like to inspect database calls, etc.. in the web debug toolbar, which is only injected into the response if it is html content-type. — Dziamid, Aug 24 '11 at 11:47

Open file lib/symfony/config/sfViewConfigHandler.class.php

now replace "mergeConfig" function with below and your problem will be solved :)

  protected function mergeConfig($myConfig)
  {
    // merge javascripts and stylesheets
    $myConfig['all']['stylesheets'] = array_merge(isset($myConfig['default']['stylesheets']) && is_array($myConfig['default']['stylesheets']) ? $myConfig['default']['stylesheets'] : array(), isset($myConfig['all']['stylesheets']) && is_array($myConfig['all']['stylesheets']) ? $myConfig['all']['stylesheets'] : array());
    unset($myConfig['default']['stylesheets']);

    $myConfig['all']['javascripts'] = array_merge(isset($myConfig['default']['javascripts']) && is_array($myConfig['default']['javascripts']) ? $myConfig['default']['javascripts'] : array(), isset($myConfig['all']['javascripts']) && is_array($myConfig['all']['javascripts']) ? $myConfig['all']['javascripts'] : array());
    unset($myConfig['default']['javascripts']);

    // merge default and all
    $myConfig['all'] = sfToolkit::arrayDeepMerge(
      isset($myConfig['default']) && is_array($myConfig['default']) ? $myConfig['default'] : array(),
      isset($myConfig['all']) && is_array($myConfig['all']) ? $myConfig['all'] : array(),
      isset($myConfig[sfConfig::get('sf_environment')]) && is_array($myConfig[sfConfig::get('sf_environment')]) ? $myConfig[sfConfig::get('sf_environment')] : array()
    );
    unset($myConfig['default']);
    $this->yamlConfig = $myConfig;
  }
