# Breaking: #73152 - Symfony console helpers replaced {#breaking-73152}

See [forge#73152](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/73152)

## Description {#description}

By upgrading to Symfony Console 3.x the `DialogHelper`, `ProgressHelper` and
`TableHelper` have been replaced. The internal getter methods for these classes
have been replaced in Extbase `ConsoleOutput`.

## Impact {#impact}

Calling the following methods with result in a fatal error:

-   `ConsoleOutput::getDialogHelper()`
-   `ConsoleOutput::getProgressHelper()`
-   `ConsoleOutput::getTableHelper()`

The 2nd argument of the following methods is ignored now:

-   `ConsoleOutput::progressAdvance()`
-   `ConsoleOutput::progressSet()`

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Extensions which have directly called these methods in favor of the Extbase
`ConsoleOutput` helper methods.

## Migration {#migration}

Use the following methods instead:

-   `ConsoleOutput::getQuestionHelper()`
-   `ConsoleOutput::getProgressBar()`
-   `ConsoleOutput::getTable()`

Remove the 2nd argument when calling these methods:

-   `ConsoleOutput::progressAdvance()`
-   `ConsoleOutput::progressSet()`
