[Bug]: Missing commands, native:config and native:php-ini

[adammpkins]

What happened?

When I install a fresh application and require NativePHP, and attempt to bring it up with native:serve, I get an error in the output stating

Error: Command failed: /home/adammpkins/Development/NativePHP/vendor/nativephp/electron/resources/js/resources/php/php artisan native:config

    at ChildProcess.exithandler (node:child_process:430:12)

  stdout: '\n' +
    '   ERROR  Command "native:config" is not defined. Did you mean one of these?  \n' +
    '\n' +
    '  ⇂ native:build  \n' +
    '  ⇂ native:install  \n' +
    '  ⇂ native:migrate  \n' +
    '  ⇂ native:minify  \n' +
    '  ⇂ native:publish  \n' +
    '  ⇂ native:queue  \n' +
    '  ⇂ native:serve  \n' +
    '\n',
  stderr: ''
}

I see commands for LoadPHPConfigurationCommand and LoadStartupConfigurationCommand but the application doesn't seem to see them.

Seems related to this commit - https://github.com/NativePHP/laravel/commit/6a4357518a93f73bc8a80fb0a69996b8a9e6470b

if (config('nativephp-internal.running')) {

...always seems to be false

[Jonnx]

+1 on intel mac

[mhoffmann777]

Same for all commands in vendor/nativephp/laravel/src/Commands/

On M1 MacBookPro

db:seed also doesn't work

[valpuia604]

Same as #160.

Please take a look at my comment in https://github.com/NativePHP/laravel/issues/160#issuecomment-1685349569

A workaround which seems to work for me is adding this environment variable

NATIVEPHP_RUNNING=true

+1 on this. Mac Pro M1

+1 for Intel.

The fix is present in the HEAD of https://github.com/NativePHP/electron-plugin (see file) but it is not tagged. The current version of nativephp/electron package is locked to version 0.2.0 of that plugin. There is a version 0.3.0 of the plugin but the fix was made after that. I can't figure out how to install untagged releases of npm packages so I can't try the latest HEAD release.

It looks like we have to wait for the next version of the plugin and then corresponding updates to the lock file in nativephp/electron. Meanwhile, I got it working by adding the environment variable manually to php.js in the retrieveNativePHPConfig function (lines 40-42):

        const env = {
            NATIVEPHP_STORAGE_PATH: storagePath,
            NATIVEPHP_DATABASE_PATH: databaseFile,
            NATIVEPHP_RUNNING: true,
        };

Same problem on Mac M2

I try to add "NATIVEPHP_RUNNING: true,", without success. Always the same problem.

Has there been any progress or workarounds found for this issue? 🙏

It is kind of a deal breaker for experimenting with NativePHP.

'Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.2.0". You are running 8.1.17. in /Users///***/nativephptest/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24\n'

@ThibautPV your issue is different. It seems you've installed your Composer dependencies under PHP8.2 while NativePHP currently uses PHP8.1.

This can be fixed by running composer install with PHP8.1.

Alternatively, the version of PHP inside NativePHP needs to match your system. More PHP versions are coming soon.

[simonhamp]

@nickpoulos which issue are you experiencing? There seem to be multiple ones referenced here

[omitobi]

Before: Trying to run it on PHP 8.2, I got this same error.

Running it on PHP 8.1 fixes this issue for me.

[simonhamp]

The issue with the missing NATIVEPHP_RUNNING environment variable should be solved.

Please update to nativephp/electron v0.6 and try again.
