Error after updating symfony/swiftmailer-bundle to 2.2.5

Question

After updating symfony/swiftmailer-bundle to v2.2.5 with composer.phar update I get such error:

Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
  - Removing symfony/swiftmailer-bundle (v2.2.4)
  - Installing symfony/swiftmailer-bundle (v2.2.5)
    Loading from cache

Writing lock file
Generating autoload files



  [Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Exception\InvalidArgumentException]  
  The service definition "swiftmailer.mailer" does not exist.                 



Script Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler::clearCache handling the post-update-cmd event terminated with an exception



  [RuntimeException]                                                         
  An error occurred when executing the "'cache:clear --no-warmup'" command. 

Problem is fixed after downgrading to 2.2.4

Answer 1

You should definitely use mailer service, as it's an alias to the correct swiftmailer service, regardless how it named. For example im v2.3.3 it's swiftmailer.mailer.default

But you have to use

$container->findDefinition('mailer');

which unlike getDefinition() also resolves aliases so if the $serviceId argument is an alias you will get the underlying definition.

Answer 2

The line that triggerd the error was:

$definition = $container->getDefinition('swiftmailer.mailer') ;

Error was caused by change of service name. Until 2.2.4 the name was

swiftmailer.mailer

and since 2.2.5 it is:

swiftmailer.mailer.abstract

I changed the line to:

$definition = $container->hasDefinition('swiftmailer.mailer') ? $container->getDefinition('swiftmailer.mailer') : $container->getDefinition('swiftmailer.mailer.abstract');

That fixed the error.
