Symfony 2 debug toolbar not showing

Double-check that your <body> tag has a closing </body> tag. In my experience, when the toolbar suddenly disappears it's because the closing body tag is missing due to malformed HTML, or because a controller is returning a Response object with just plain text content.


Make sure you can tick all bullets in this checklist:

  • You are using the dev mode by accessing the page via app_dev.php (True for you)

  • The toolbar inserts itself in pages by looking for a terminating </body> tag on your generated page. If you don't have a </body> tag in your page the toolbar will not appear(as in the above answer). Example twig file as a reference:

    The line {% extends '::base.html.twig' %} will extend app/Resources/views/base.html.twig which injects default <body>...</body> into your custom twig files.

    {% extends '::base.html.twig' %}

{% block body %}
  Hello!
{% endblock %}

  • You have enabled the profiler in AppKernel.php

    public function registerBundles(){
  $bundles = ...
  if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), array('dev', 'test'))) {
    $bundles[] = new Symfony\Bundle\WebProfilerBundle\WebProfilerBundle();
  ...
  }
return $bundles;
}

  • You have javascript enabled.

  • Thoroughly Check recently added bundles(specially custom ones). Because Cases like this can cause the problem.
