extra.symfony-public-dir is gone, right?

[dzuelke]

In 4.0+, it's config.public-dir, is it not?

https://symfony.com/doc/4.0/configuration/override_dir_structure.html#override-web-dir

And how does this work with 3.4+Flex?

That is correct:

{
    "extra": {
        "symfony-public-dir": "my_awesome_new_public_dir"
    }
}

For Flex I am unsure if that is changeable: symfony/flex@6bbb7e5/src/Flex.php#diff-46b78198ae7ea525f04268205dd782c3R262

Maybe @fabpot or @javiereguiluz might give a better answer to this. If Flex's public directory is customisable, we will of course create documentation for this.

Where is the code that reads that value, @ricknox, do you know? I didn't find it anywhere. Just the new Flex thing, which appears to be overridable via config in composer.json.

@nicolas-grekas can you shed any light on this?

@dzuelke This issue has been given some love in #8732 which is part of #8754. It has been changed from symfony-web-dir to symfony-public-dir. But that applies for the 4.0 version, which indeed includes Flex.

[dzuelke]

But is it really extra.symfony-public-dir, @ricknox? I can't find any reference to it anywhere in the sources. It looks like it's just extra.public-dir now in Flex!? /cc @nicolas-grekas

I added "public-dir": "web" to the "extra" config in composer.json and it works with symfony4+flex.

Looks like it's extra.public-dir indeed: https://github.com/symfony/flex/blob/5e610d4b66a1f17736f6025fc81fd794d8ac69d6/src/Flex.php#L353
