What is the "App Directory" for?

[alexander-schranz]

In the Symfony Plugin it is possible to select a App Directory which is by default app but in the default Symfony Skeleton this kind of directory does not exist since Symfony 4.

What was before app/cache and app/config was split into config (config/packages, config/routes, ...) and var/cache.

So I'm not sure what is the correct value to be configured for App Directory in the Plugin?

The plugin has not updated its settings to match the new directory structure. I have an open issue for this #2078. In the meantime, and in case anyone else has this question: In Symfony 4,5,6, the "app directory" should be pointing to the "config" folder and the "web directory" should be pointing to the "public" folder.

planing to remove the configuration, every feature should work out of the box, mainly its just still there to support some "old Symfony" features.
