Hi arh922,
It’s not possible to override class method in php without hacks, but if you use the class as a service,

you can just override class parameter at the container, for example add in services.yml:

YAML

parameters: file_locator.class: MyBundle\NewFileLocator

1 2	parameters:     file_locator.class: MyBundle\NewFileLocator

or you can decorate the service file_locator, check out this tutorial
https://symfony.com/doc/2.8/service_container/service_decoration.html

What is the file locator service name (Id) so i can override old class with new class?

file_locator

Does it need any parameter because I got the following error when override the service:

Yml:

YAML

file_locator: class: Xngage\WindowsPathBundle\Services\FileLocatorForWindows

1 2	file_locator:          class: Xngage\WindowsPathBundle\Services\FileLocatorForWindows

Error:

[Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Exception\InvalidConfigurationException]
Can’t parse configuration. oro_cache_invalidate.frontend_options.template: Unable to find template “OroCacheBundle:Action:invalidate.html.twig”

where can I find the origin service (yml file)? i search it out in all vendors but did not find it?

/vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Bundle/FrameworkBundle/Resources/config/services.xml, line 58, if you have different symfony version it can be in different line.

Service definition is for “Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Config\FileLocator” as “Symfony\Component\Config\FileLocator” not used directly.

Probably you should configure Symfony plugin in your IDE, we use PhpStorm at Oro, it’s very useful, as it highlight services for classes to quick navigation it were easy to find definition for me.
