The reason for this extension is that in phpBB 3.3 there is a change in Symfony that requires the services.yml file to have a particular syntax. There are some, probably quite old, extensions that may not conform to this syntax and the extension will not work - and may possibly break your board.

By running this extension you will be able to check your extensions and take appropriate action prior to upgrading to phpBB 3.3 (when it is released)

Do you check the 'pattern' keyword?

Not sure what you mean by "keyword" but I am checking that the @ and % arguments are not without a leading character.

I am not claiming this to be infallible but more as a guide

Maybe change the text in ACP that routing.yml is also checked.


-------------
Extension Services File Syntax Check
This extension will check the syntax of the services.yml file in all of the enabled extensions on this board for compatibility with phpBB 3.3.

It does NOT guarantee that the extension is compatible in any other way with phpBB 3.3 nor does it guarantee that there are no other issues with the services.yml file.

You may also want to check services & parameters of setter injections: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/blob/rel ... es.yml#L41

To save me spending the next three days digging around documentation :o what are the correct and incorrect setting? ;)

And while I am about it are there any others that come to mind?

The same rules apply, incorrect: - [set_cache, [@cache.driver]], correct: - [set_cache, ['@cache.driver']].

And maybe you should check all .yml files in the config folder & its subfolders.

I was hoping nobody would suggest that :o

Do any extensions have subfolders? I cannot recall ever seeing any
