Multiple compile errors during initial local install

[cdburgess]

I am trying to set up a local environment as defined in the read me because I would like to contribute. When I run composer install as suggested, I am told to run composer update which I do. However, there are multiple errors indicating some missing packages (there are also abandoned/deprecated packages) errors that won't allow me to proceed.

I am working on a Mac with PHP 7.4.

I don't want to just dive in and start changing things that might cause issues for you so I would like some guidance on how to move forward. When was the last time you installed from scratch? Does the README instructions still work for you?

[Kamalisk]

It has been a long time since I installed from scratch and I don't recognise the errors. I know there are definitely deprecated packages still being used, but I have never had chance to upgrade to a newer symfony and sort out issues.

[cdburgess]

Maybe I could help get this sorted out and get some testing in place? I will try to sort through the code and figure out what it going on. If you have any pointers that would be fabulous.

[cdburgess]

@Kamalisk WIll you run the following:

composer info

and paste the output here? It will allow me to see what versions of packages you are currently running. This may help me get past some of these errors. Thanks!

For those who may be following along, I updated my composer file to use all of the versions as specified above:

I ran composer and I still get the LazyLoadingValueHolderGenerator.php line 25 error:

Compile Error: Could not check compatibility between Symfony\Bridge\ProxyManager\LazyProxy\PhpDumper\LazyLoadingValueHolderGenerator::generate(ReflectionClass $originalClass, Zend\Code\Generator\ClassGenerator $classGenerator) and ProxyManager\ProxyGenerator\LazyLoadingValueHolderGenerator::generate (ReflectionClass $originalClass, Laminas\Code\Generator\ClassGenerator $classGenerator), because class Zend\Code\Generator\ClassGenerator is not available

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

I am still looking into the matter.

[cdburgess]

@Kamalisk do you still frequently run composer? For example, are you still able to run composer update and have no errors?

[cdburgess]

I was finally able to get composer to work. I had to manually add all of the versions as listed by @Kamalisk and downgrade composer to v1.10 . composer update also works, but that is to be expected since there are no additional updated versions in the .json file.

[cdburgess]

Success! I had to update/make the following changes:

• downgrade composer to 1.x
• change ALL of the files in composer.json to reference the versions posted above by @Kamalisk
• added "symfony/web-server-bundle": "^3.0", to the composer list
• changed the app-dev.php file in the web directory to index.php

I had to make the following changes to AppKernel.php:

Update line 41 to: if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), array('dev', 'test'), true)) {

Add the following to line 47:

if ('dev' === $this->getEnvironment()) { $bundles[] = new Symfony\Bundle\WebServerBundle\WebServerBundle(); }

• change the run server command to php bin/console server:run --env=dev

Once I did those things, everything appears to be working locally.

[Kamalisk]

I am pretty sure a lot of the stuff it uses is old, I moved symfony version, but I need to do it again, just don't have time to do it and break everything :P Am fairly sure I am using a pre-built version of composer so that probably hasnt been updated in a while. Maybe I will make it a xmas project to clean stuff up. Good job on getting it working.

[cdburgess]

I'm noticing that the majority of the operational code for the website is contained in the JS files. But I was glad to see how this all works. I will watch for the updated version. Thanks!

[MakJanko]

@cdburgess This thread has been a god send, I really appreciate the list you made detailing the steps you took to get the server to run.

[cdburgess]

That's great that you were successful. Happy coding!
