Symfony 6 - Generate URL with "https" on twig templates

Question

I want to generate URL with https:// as a prefix, using the Twig function url(). However, the generated URL is always http://.

I made the setup given here: https://symfony.com/doc/6.2/routing.html#forcing-https-on-generated-urls.

My config/packages/framework.yaml:

framework:                                                                                                                                                                             
    http_method_override: false                                                                             
    handle_all_throwables: true                                                                             
    ...

My config/routes.yaml:

controllers:                                         
    resource:                                        
        path: ../src/Controller/                     
        namespace: App\Controller                    
    type: attribute                                  
    defaults: [https] // note HTTPS here

I am using the PROD environment.

My .env file is:

APP_ENV=prod
APP_URL=https://something... // note HTTPS here

Cache has been cleared with prod option.

However, when I use from my twig template:

{{ url('my_route') }}

the generated route is correct but still in http (and not https).

Am I missing something ?

Looking here: https://symfony.com/doc/current/routing.html#forcing-https-on-generated-urls you will see you missed the schemes key in your config. Here is the example given:

# config/routes/annotations.yaml
controllers:
    resource: '../../src/Controller/'
    type: annotation
    defaults:
        schemes: [https]

Or do the following on a per route basis:

    #[Route('/login', name: 'login', schemes: ['https'])]

Thanks for the reply! I have just tried the exact solution you mentioned above for the yaml file; (in `config/routes.yaml` in my case) but still, the URL generated into the twig template with `{{ url('my_route', {'id': ...}, true ) }}` (from here: https://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/twig_reference.html#url) still has `http://` prefix. In fact, the content generated with that twig template is then sent by email and I now realize by checking the mail content "in HTML format" that there is no scheme at all in the generated URL (I have something like: `//my-domain.com/my-route`) – jean553 Jul 12 '23 at 19:36
I guess the "http://" prefix is added automatically by the mail client, as there is no scheme in the URL. I am going to try the twig function `absolute_url` or the second solution you suggest that adds the scheme on a per route basis. – jean553 Jul 12 '23 at 19:37

Check your web server (ngnix, apache, etc) configuration, it was using the port 80 internally

There a trick to test: comment out the listen 80, if your site is unavailable that means it uses the port 80

Thanks for your reply. Indeed this is something to think about, especially when the final web server is behind a gateway, a proxy or a load balancer. Very often, the frontend proxy listens on HTTPS and then forward traffic to the final web server using HTTP only, because routing is made internally into a private isolated network behind that proxy. That was not my issue here, but that is something to consider when dealing with that kind of issue. – jean553 Jul 16 '23 at 17:26

Found it. Using {{ absolute_url(path('my_route')) }} fixed it. My link is rendered with the scheme https://.

Thanks all for your replies. I guess the fix I made from Arleigh Hix suggestion was also part of my problem.
