Symfony 6.4 + lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle 3.0 – Missing service lexik_jwt_authentication.authenticator

[developersTechroid]

Hi,

I’m running a PHP project with the following stack:

PHP 8.2

Symfony 6.4

lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle 3.0

When I run composer update, dependencies install fine, but during the cache clear step the process fails:

Executing script cache:clear [KO]
[KO]
Script cache:clear returned with error code 1

Error trace:

In CheckExceptionOnInvalidReferenceBehaviorPass.php line 119:

The service "security.command.debug_firewall" has a dependency on a non-existent service "lexik_jwt_authentication.authenticator".

Did you mean one of these:

• "lexik_jwt_authentication.jwt_manager"
• "lexik_jwt_authentication.encoder"
• "lexik_jwt_authentication.key_loader"?

What I tried

Deleted the vendor/ and var/cache/ directories manually.

Ran php bin/console cache:clear.

Same error occurs.

Current security.yaml
security:
enable_authenticator_manager: true

providers:
    user:
        id: App\Security\UserProvider

password_hashers:
    App\Entity\User:
        algorithm: bcrypt
        cost: 12

firewalls:
    dev:
        pattern: ^/(_(profiler|wdt)|css|images|js)/
        security: false

    # API firewall (handles /api/login and all other /api routes)
    api:
        pattern: ^/api
        stateless: true
        provider: user
        custom_authenticator: lexik_jwt_authentication.authenticator

    # Main web firewall
    main:
        lazy: true
        provider: user
        logout:
            path: /logout
            target: /

access_control:
    - { path: ^/internal_api, roles: PUBLIC_ACCESS }
    - { path: ^/api/login, roles: PUBLIC_ACCESS }
    - { path: ^/api/reset-password, roles: PUBLIC_ACCESS }
    - { path: ^/api, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY }

Question:
Has lexik_jwt_authentication.authenticator been removed or renamed in v3 of the bundle? If so, what’s the correct replacement configuration for Symfony 6.4?
