Installation Stuck - Installing Basset [Bug]

Bug report

Installation stuck

What I did

1. I've created a new cPanel user
2. Upgraded node from v10 to v16

   [dynwork@hive ~]$ node -v
   v16.20.1

3. Checked the php version

   [dynwork@hive ~]$ php -v
   PHP 8.1.21 (cli) (built: Jul 26 2023 04:48:43) (NTS)
   Copyright (c) The PHP Group
   Zend Engine v4.1.21, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

4. Clean installation of Laravel v10

   [dynwork@hive ~]$ php artisan about
   
   Environment ........................................................................................
   Application Name ....................................................................... dynamik.app
   Laravel Version ............................................................................ 10.17.1
   PHP Version ................................................................................. 8.1.21
   Composer Version ............................................................................. 2.5.7
   Environment .................................................................................. local
   Debug Mode ................................................................................. ENABLED
   URL ................................................................................... dynamik.work
   Maintenance Mode ............................................................................... OFF

5. Moved Laravel installation to root folder and pointed DocumentRoot from /public_html to /public
6. Added my credentials to composer composer config http-basic.backpackforlaravel.com xxx.user xxx.token
7. Required backpack/crud through composer [dynwork@hive ~]$ composer require backpack/crud

8. Final step, ran php artisan backpack:install And the output of my console is same for the past hour, stuck at Installing Basset

   [dynwork@hive ~]$ php artisan backpack:install

That's very strange. We had that issue indeed, but to avoid it getting stuck we moved the check to the end of the installer here: https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/CRUD/pull/5259

So maybe there is other issue that we haven't catched until now.

You told me you are using cPanel, I suspect I may be some permission issue.

The basset installation should only require the package, and create the symlink.

My guess is that the symlink is failing to create. Can you manually create the symlink with php artisan storage:link and try again?

Sorry for the bad experience.

Cheers

@pxpm I highly doubt there is any issues with the cpanel or whm. i have installed it numerous times on the same machine, with the same config and versions.

Thank you

[georgedobre]

I've tried creating the symlink but it was already there

[dynwork@hive ~]$ php artisan storage:link
   ERROR  The [public/storage] link already exists.

Then i've ran the command again, just in case :D

[dynwork@hive ~]$ php artisan backpack:install

Anything logged in the server logs?

Hey @georgedobre I've just merged a fix and released a new version 6.1.5.

Please upgrade your backpack/crud to the latest version and run the install command again.

We should be good. 🙏

We will perform the check at the end of the install command, it may fail, will tell you why, but the installation will be finished by that time.

Let me know if you are still experiencing issues.

Cheers

I have updated composer with composer update than ran again [dynwork@hive ~]$ php artisan backpack:install

Everything worked fine.

Thank you
