I wanted to upgrade my old Symfony project from 2.8 to 4.0 but I stacked at upgrade from 2.8 to 3.4. I used this tutorial for the upgrade Moving to Symfony 3.4.

I got some errors while trying to update through composer Composer Upgrade Errors:

    }
}

To be honest last time I was doing something in Symfony 3 years ago but I really wanted to my old project. If someone could help me out what's wrong.

I already tried to change minimum-stability:stable to minimum-stability:dev but it didn't worked.

Upgrade to 3.4.*, because it's the latest LTS version. Updating to version 4 should be done when 4.4 comes out (it will be LTS version).

Try to adjust your configuration like following and run the composer update. Following configuration comes with autowiring. Consider if you want to use that, but I suggest, because it's more comfortable to get your dependencies in services/controllers at constructor by using type hints.

1) Composer.json

"symfony/symfony": "3.4.*",
"sensio/distribution-bundle": "^5.0.19",
"sensio/framework-extra-bundle": "^5.0.0",
"twig/twig": "^1.0||^2.0",
"symfony/monolog-bundle": "^3.1.0",

2) app/config/services.yml

services:
    _defaults:
        autowire: true # Automatically injects dependencies in your services
        autoconfigure: true
        public: false
        bind:
            # Nice feature here. Local Binding. Read about it at documentation.


    # makes classes in AppBundle available to be used as services
    AppBundle\:
        resource: '../../src/AppBundle/*'
    # exclude directories || files (if service is unused, it will be removed anyway)
        exclude: '../../src/AppBundle/{Entity,Repository,Tests}'
    AppBundle\Controller\:
        resource: '../../src/AppBundle/Controller'
        public: true
        tags: ['controller.service_arguments']

3) AppBundle/Resources/config/services.yml

   services:
    _defaults:
        autowire: true
        autoconfigure: true
        public: false
