Answer 1

This is YAML alternative to @MaksSlesarenko answer.

parameters:
  validator.mapping.loader.yaml_files_loader.mapping_files:
    - "%kernel.root_dir%/../src/CompanyName/TestBundle/Resources/config/validation/Entity.DbObject.yml"

BTW is there any way to change %kernel.root_dir%/../src/CompanyName/TestBundle/ to some bundle root variable (like %kernel.root_dir%)?

Another alternative:

public function load(array $configs, ContainerBuilder $container)
{
    $loader = new Loader\YamlFileLoader($container, new FileLocator(__DIR__ . '/../Resources/config'));

    $validatorFiles = $container->getParameter('validator.mapping.loader.yaml_files_loader.mapping_files');

    $finder = new Finder();
    foreach ($finder->files()->in(__DIR__ . '/../Resources/config/validation') as $file) {
        $validatorFiles[] = $file->getRealPath();
    }
    $container->setParameter('validator.mapping.loader.yaml_files_loader.mapping_files', $validatorFiles);
}

This way, using the Finder Component, you don't have to be concerned about touching this file each time you add a new validator file.

Solutions above are not working in Symfony 2.3.

In 2.3 it's easier to load multiple Yml files from loader. For example:

    $loader = new Loader\YamlFileLoader($container, new FileLocator(__DIR__.'/../Resources/config'));
    $loader->load('services.yml');
    $loader->load('services/menu.yml'); //new file to load

Symfony 2.5 broke the above solutions. See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24210501/175753

Answer 5

Add these lines in load method of src/Blogger/BlogBundle/DependencyInjection/BloggerBlogExtension.php.

public function load(array $configs, ContainerBuilder $container)
{
  //...
  $yamlMappingFiles = $container->getParameter('validator.mapping.loader.yaml_files_loader.mapping_files');
  $yamlMappingFiles[] = __DIR__.'/../Resources/config/comment.yml';
  $yamlMappingFiles[] = __DIR__.'/../Resources/config/enquiry.yml';
  $container->setParameter('validator.mapping.loader.yaml_files_loader.mapping_files', $yamlMappingFiles);
}

As of Symfony 2.7, XML and Yaml constraint files located in the Resources/config/validation sub-directory of a bundle are loaded.
Prior to 2.7, only Resources/config/validation.yml (or .xml) were loaded.
