What changed?

Changes the path where config files are stored for new projects while keeping them in their original location for existing projects.

Why?

For context read the ADR, TLDR: we want to adopt the .config convention

How was this tested?

Besides the changed / added automated tests:

  • run shopware-cli project config init and make sure it's stored in the new / recommended location
  • run shopware-cli project doctor or any other command that uses the config, make sure it is picked up
  • try different filenames / locations to make sure the correct one is loaded according to priority (if multiple exists): .config/shopware-project.yml > .shopware-project.yaml > .shopware-project.yml

Related issue or discussion

part of #1387

Whats still missing before this is ready

  • make similar adjustments for the implementations of shopware-extension.yml, right now only .shopware-project.yml is covered
  • do a Demo with our QA to make sure no edge cases are overlooked
  • add further automated tests, ideally raising the coverage
  • wait until a similar adjustment is ready in deployment-helper so it can be merged + released together

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Project and extension commands now automatically discover Shopware configuration files in recommended and legacy locations.
    • Configuration updates preserve the location of existing files.
    • New projects use .config/shopware-project.yml by default, with required directories created automatically.
    • Diagnostic output reports the configuration file actually in use.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved configuration loading across build, watch, development, proxy, upgrade, and database commands.
    • Fixed configuration saves and migrations to avoid writing to an unexpected location.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Configuration discovery now supports explicit, default, and legacy paths. Reads and writes preserve the selected configuration location across project commands, extension watching, and TUI flows. Project configuration defaults and initialization messages now reference the .config location.

Changes

Configuration path discovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration resolution and persistence
internal/shop/config.go, internal/shop/config_test.go, go.mod
SearchConfigPath resolves explicit, default, and legacy configuration paths. ReadConfig stores the source path. Write operations preserve that path or use .config defaults and create parent directories.
CLI command integration
cmd/extension/..., cmd/project/...
Project and extension commands resolve configuration paths before reading them. The project flag defaults to an empty path, and initialization messages describe .config locations.
TUI write-path validation
internal/tui/dev/model_test.go
Tests verify that existing configurations are updated in their original location and new configurations are written under .config.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to c95fd

The new configuration location is intended to preserve compatibility, but the current changes can overwrite the main project configuration in some paths and cause commands targeting another project to load settings from the caller’s directory instead. These risks can lead to lost configuration or actions using the wrong project settings, so the PR should not merge until they are fixed.

Use the target project root as the SearchConfigPath base. These commands can target or discover a project root different from the caller's working directory, but currently search configuration from ".". This can load another project's configuration or an empty fallback configuration. Pass the resolved target root to SearchConfigPath in all affected commands.

Use the created configuration filename in the command description.

shop.WriteConfig creates .config/shopware-project.yml. The help text states .config/shopware-project.yaml, so users receive an incorrect path.

Detect local configuration files from the basename.

Line 787 also examines directory names. If storageLocation is /repo/.local-copy/.shopware-project.yml, WriteLocalConfig overwrites the base configuration with the partial local configuration.

Check filepath.Base(filePath). If the retained local path is relative, join it to dir before writing.

Proposed fix
 filePath := cfg.storageLocation
-if filePath == "" || !strings.Contains(filePath, ".local.") {
+if filePath == "" || !strings.Contains(filepath.Base(filePath), ".local.") {
 	filePath = filepath.Join(dir, ".config/shopware-project.local.yml")
+} else if !filepath.IsAbs(filePath) {
+	filePath = filepath.Join(dir, filePath)

Use filepath for configuration filesystem paths.

On Windows, path.IsAbs does not recognize volume paths such as C:\project\shopware-project.yml. Replace path.IsAbs and path.Join with filepath.IsAbs and filepath.Join in SearchConfigPath.
