For a project of mine, I movedapp/Resources intoresources to keep more in line with the company project structure. On the way I had a few quirks, namely with the routing.

When having the following:

# resources/config/routing.ymlapp:resource:'../../src/Infrastructure/Action'type:'annotation'

In a regular application, this relative path is being located fromapp/Resources so it should result inapp/Resources/../../src/Infrastructure/Action. Whilst the path does make sense (src/Infrastructure/Action exists),app/Resources does not exist so resolving this path e.g. withrealpath() will fail.

One could get around that by using the@AppBundle notation, but this notation is not usable with.. so ifAppBundle is not place at a higher level thansrc/Infrastructure/Action, e.g. when you havesrc/Infrastructure/Bundle/AppBundle.php, this trick cannot work.

When you get at that point, you either take the path of the least resistance and just create aapp/Resources/.gitkeep file and don't care or you are a stubborn sore loser and try to keep going.

So here's how I eventually got around that: First override thefile_locator service:

# resources/services.ymlservices:file_locator:class:Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Config\FileLocatorarguments:            -'@kernel'            -'%kernel.root_dir%/../resources'

I don't know exactly where in the application this service is really used, but I do know it's used very early in the bootstrapping process so this in any case is not enough. Not finding a better solution, I changed:

// app/AppKernel.phpclass AppKernel{//.../**     * @inheritdoc     */publicfunctionlocateResource($name,$dir =null,$first =true)    {if (__DIR__.'/Resources' ===$dir) {$dir =realpath(__DIR__.'/../resources');        }returnparent::locateResource($name,$dir,$first);    }}

I'm not sure is there something more elegant that could be done neither if this should be documented. If it should let me know where I'll be happy to do a PR about it, if you feel it's not worth it just close the issue.
