To debug routes in Symfony, you can use the debug:router command, which is part of Symfony's built-in console tools.

This command allows you to view details about all the routes defined in your application, including their names, paths, and associated controllers.

Here’s how to use it:

1. Listing all routes

Run the following command to list all routes:

php bin/console debug:router

This will output a table with the following columns:

• Name: The name of the route.
• Method: The HTTP methods supported by the route (e.g., GET, POST).
• Scheme: The scheme used by the route (e.g., https).
• Host: The host pattern for the route.
• Path: The path of the route.
• Defaults: Default values assigned to the route parameters.
• Requirements: Constraints like allowed HTTP methods or regular expressions for parameters.

2. Viewing details of a specific route

To see more detailed information about a specific route, pass the route name as an argument:

php bin/console debug:router <route_name>
