Invalid handler type "console" given for handler "console"

[Maxwell2022]

After installing Symfony Standard Edition and updating it to 2.3.2 using php composer.phar update and got the following error when clearing the cache:

[InvalidArgumentException]                                  
  Invalid handler type "console" given for handler "console" 

Script Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler::clearCache handling the post-update-cmd event terminated with an exception

just running php app/console trigger the same error

I've tried to downgrade to 2.3.1 but have the same error.
I believe this is related to this PR: #42

The exact exception I have is the following:

InvalidArgumentException: Invalid handler type "console" given for handler "console"

It looks like your configuration file tries to configure the console handler, which is not available in 2.3. It is a new feature for 2.4

The SE uses it in the master branch but it does not in 2.3: https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard/blob/2.3/app/config/config_dev.yml#L15

Are you sure that you used the config file of the 2.3 edition ?

here is composer I've copied / paste from 2.2 branch after downgrading:

What I need is your app/config/config_dev.yml file (the monolog part) as the issue is in your config

[Maxwell2022]

Yeah, got it, thanks. I don't know why but when you select a different branch of the repo the link to download the ZIP archive in Github still download the master branch. Thanks to point that out.

you can avoid this problem removing the console section under the monolog parameters in the config_dev.yml
