Sylius: Can't see products in admin when different default locale than en_US is set

[Holicz]

Sylius version affected: 1.5.0

Description
I can't see created products in the administration, I can see them in store frontend. I checked several things:

1) I have only one locale - cs (configured during the installation)
2) My channel has this locale set
3) My user account has this locale set
4) My product has translation in this locale

However, when I check the DQL queries in profiler I can see there is parameter for locale with value en_US even though I selected cs as default locale during the installation and never configured anything about en_US.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install clean Sylius 1.5.0
2. Run bin/console sylius:install
3. Provide default currency CZK and default locale cs
4. Finish other installation steps
5. Go to the administration
6. Create taxon
7. Create product, set it's main taxon
8. Go to /admin/products/ or /admin/products/taxon/1
9. No products can be seen on this page

Check the value of the locale parameter: php bin/console debug:container --parameter locale
You have to set it manually.

Edit: manually changing it to cs is just a workaround and not a bug fix

Forgot about than one, changing it in config/services.yaml worked. But maybe it's not a great UX behavior and it could be set during installation?

[vvasiloi]

No, it can't be set during the installation, but it should not break the product listing in the admin panel anyway.

This line caused your issue, but I don't see other sources of default locale.
Also, this is documented (see the first warning message): https://docs.sylius.com/en/1.5/book/installation/installation.html
So it's not a bug.

I actually read the warning message before I posted the issue, but I get it like "sylius:install will set the locale and currency. If you want to change the default values later, do it in Configuration > Channels and in config\services.yaml".

Maybe a message during the command sylius:install would improve the DX. Something like "You may also need to change the Symfony locale in config\services.yaml."

The difference between a default locale set in services.yaml and the locale set in administration panel (as an entity) can be indeed confusing. Would you be able to open a PR with a proposed message during installation? Then we could iterate over this solution in comments :) Thanks! 🚀
