PHP Notice and Fatal error on MacOS when running TagUI?

[lookang]

this error is output on the terminal every time i run tagui.

PHP Warning: file_get_contents(tagui_chrome.in): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/lookang/Desktop/tagui/src/tagui_chrome.php on line 34 PHP Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property WebSocket\Client::$options is deprecated in /Users/lookang/Desktop/tagui/src/ws/Client.php on line 25

according to chatgpt This error message is related to a PHP script that is attempting to use the TagUI RPA (Robotic Process Automation) tool to automate a web browser. Here's a breakdown of the error message:

PHP Warning: file_get_contents(tagui_chrome.in): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/lookang/Desktop/tagui/src/tagui_chrome.php on line 34: This warning indicates that the PHP script is attempting to read the contents of a file named tagui_chrome.in, but the file does not exist in the specified directory. This could be due to a misconfiguration or incorrect file path.

PHP Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property WebSocket\Client::$options is deprecated in /Users/lookang/Desktop/tagui/src/ws/Client.php on line 25: This deprecated notice indicates that the PHP script is using a deprecated method to create a dynamic property $options in the WebSocket\Client class. This means that this property may be removed in future versions of the library, and the script should be updated to use a different approach.

PHP Notice: fwrite(): Send of 83 bytes failed with errno=32 Broken pipe in /Users/lookang/Desktop/tagui/src/ws/Base.php on line 246: This notice indicates that an attempt to write data to a stream failed because the pipe to the underlying process was broken. This could be due to a network issue or a problem with the server.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught WebSocket\ConnectionException: Could only write out of 83 bytes. in /Users/lookang/Desktop/tagui/src/ws/Base.php:249: This fatal error indicates that the script encountered an exception while trying to write data to the WebSocket connection. The error message suggests that only a partial amount of data (83 bytes) could be written to the connection.

Overall, these error messages suggest that there may be issues with the PHP script's configuration or connectivity to the WebSocket server, or that there may be compatibility issues with the version of TagUI being used. It may be necessary to troubleshoot and resolve these issues before the automation can be successfully executed.

hope it can be fixed? I not sure what is the impact of this error but the tag file still runs. Maybe it affects the "live" mode, i cannot do snap in live, not sure if they are related issues.

LIVE MODE - type done to quit snap (0,0)-(100,100) to image.png click image.png

didn't work, no file image.png and also no click

Hi @lookang most likely this is because MacOS Monterey removes Python2 by default. Can you try to run the command python in the terminal and see if it shows up? Otherwise you can install from here

[lookang]

when i run on terminal, it appears it have python2.

i also have python3 lookang@Opens-MacBook-Pro ~ % python3 Python 3.9.6 (v3.9.6:db3ff76da1, Jun 28 2021, 11:49:53) [Clang 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

i actually use python3 to do some python code, not python2. I not sure if my configuration is messed up?

ok, seems to fix something but this is what i see now

lookang@Opens-MacBook-Pro ~ % tagui

tagui v6.113: use following options and this syntax to run - ./tagui flow_filename option(s) tagui live launch TagUI live mode enabled with visual automation for interactive development tagui update download and update to latest TagUI version (please backup your version beforehand) input(s) add your own parameter(s) to be used in your automation flow as variables p1 to p8 data.csv specify a csv file to be used as the datatable for batch automation of many records -deploy -d generate .command file which can be double-clicked to run workflow with specific options -headless -h run on invisible Chrome web browser instead of visible as default (first install Chrome) -nobrowser -n run without any web browser, for example to perform automation only with visual automation -report -r track run result in tagui/src/tagui_report.csv and save html log of automation execution -turbo -t run automation at 10X the speed of normal human user (read the caveats in usage guide!) -quiet -q run without output except for explicit output (echo, show, check steps and errors etc) -edge -e run TagUI using Microsoft Edge instead of Google Chrome (can be used with -headless)

it runs like before but with this warning of "PHP Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property WebSocket\Client::$options is deprecated in /Users/lookang/Desktop/tagui/src/ws/Client.php on line 25"

[marcelocecin]

what version of your PHP? maybe a solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74998398/php-creation-of-dynamic-property-is-deprecated-allowdynamicproperties-not-worki

do i need to upgrade php?

[marcelocecin]

no need to update PHP, try editing the /Users/lookang/Desktop/tagui/src/ws/Client.php file and insert in line 12: #[\Allow Dynamic Properties]

[marcelocecin]

or you can downgrade PHP version: https://github.com/aisingapore/TagUI/issues/1136

no need to update PHP, try editing the /Users/lookang/Desktop/tagui/src/ws/Client.php file and insert in line 12: #[\Allow Dynamic Properties]

Actually, I didn't need to do either option.

tagui works as expected for me with PHP 8.2.11 running on Apple m2 chip.

Removing that suggestion from line 12 actually fixed my issue.

Thank you @marcelocecin and @lookang for looking into this issue and the many others during you maintenance of TagUI. Y'all are the real hero's.
