php_version: "7.1" leaves the PHP 7.2 CLI package installed

[christopher-hopper]

Problem/Motivation

Not sure if this is related to beet/box or geerlingguy/ansible-role-php-versions, so raising here as a first to get some clarity.

Trying to use PHP 7.1, I end up with a box that has PHP 7.1 alongside the PHP 7.2-cli. Here's the beetbox config.yml:

---
# Vagrant settings.
vagrant_memory: 2048

# Beetbox settings.
beet_domain: foobar.local
beet_root: "{{ beet_base }}/docroot"
ssh_home: "{{ beet_base }}"

# Apache settings.
apache_vhosts:
  - servername: "{{ beet_domain }}"
    documentroot: "{{ beet_root }}"
    extra_parameters: "{{ apache_vhost_php_fpm_parameters }}"
apache_mods_enabled:
  - authn_core.load
  - expires.load
  - ldap.conf
  - ldap.load
  - proxy.load
  - proxy_fcgi.load
  - rewrite.load
  - ssl.load

# Databases.
mysql_databases:
  - name: "{{ beet_mysql_database }}"
    encoding: utf8
    collation: utf8_general_ci
  - name: "foobar"
    encoding: utf8
    collation: utf8_general_ci

# PHP settings.
php_version: "7.1"
php_memory_limit: "284M"
php_max_input_vars: 2500
php_apc_shm_size: "128M"
php_opcache_interned_strings_buffer: "32"
php_packages_state: "latest"
php_packages:
  - php7.1
  - php7.1-apcu
  - php7.1-cli
  - php7.1-common
  - php7.1-curl
  - php7.1-dev
  - php7.1-fpm
  - php7.1-gd
  - php7.1-intl
  - php7.1-json
  - php7.1-mcrypt
  - php7.1-mbstring
  - php7.1-mysql
  - php7.1-opcache
  - php7.1-phpdbg
  - php7.1-readline
  - php7.1-xml
  - php7.1-zip
  - php7.1-bcmath
  - php7.1-ldap

# MYSQL config.
mysql_max_allowed_packet: "100M"

# PhantomJS.
phantomjs_webdriver: yes
phantomjs_webdriver_port: 4444

Steps to reproduce

1. Run a clean provision, from scratch with composer install then vagrant up
2. SSH into the box with vagrant ssh
3. Check the PHP CLI version php --version
4. Check which PHP packages are installed with apt list --installed | grep php

Expected behaviour

• Box provisions as normal
• PHP version shows PHP 7.1 as the PHP CLI version.
• Only PHP 7.1 packages are installed.

Actual behaviour

• Box provisions fine
• PHP version shows PHP 7.2.0RC1
• Installed packages show PHP 5.1, 7.1 and 7.2 packages listed

Steps to reproduce

Use the .beetbox/config.yml above.

Proposed changes

(If you have a proposed change, workaround or fix, describe the rationale behind it)

The workaround for now is to run this on the box, after doing the provision:

sudo apt-get remove php7.2-common

This removes all the PHP 7.2 packages and updates alternatives to point to PHP 7.1. I'm going to add this to a Post provision task for now.

@christopher-hopper have you tried using the latest version? currently 0.7.2

https://packagist.org/packages/beet/box

[christopher-hopper]

Looks like we're on beet/box:^0.6@dev. Will give an update to 0.7.2 a go later today.

I've added this .beetbox/tasks/post/php-72-remove.yml for now

---
- name: Remove php 7.2 packages.
  package:
    name: "php7.2-{{ package_name }}"
    state: absent
  with_items:
    - cli
    - common
  loop_control:
    loop_var: package_name
  when: php_version == "7.1"

[christopher-hopper]

Hooray hoorah!

Okay, this is fixed. I did the following:

1. Updated our beet/box package with Composer
2. Disable the custom post task above php-72-remove.yml
3. Destroyed and reprovisioned the box, now at v0.7.2
4. SSH'd in, and checked all installed PHP versions and packages

Result, fixed. Thanks @thom8 Hopefully anyone else who hits this will find the issue and can address it.

Same thing with php7.0:

apt list --installed | grep php

Used the .beetbox/tasks/post/php-72-remove.yml hack and it fixed things for me (had to change to when: php_version == "7.0"). Thank you @christopher-hopper 👍

This keeps happening in fresh instances of the latest version of beetbox (0.7.3). Basically, this makes it so that the php_version: "x.y" is not respected.

Should this issue be reopened?

[oxyc]

Could you post the full log output from provisioning a box?

Did some debugging. During the purge task a bunch of 7.2 packages are installed

And on an older Drupal VM box. I'll try and rebuild the latest with memcached to see what happens (edit: same thing, it works):

@thom8 If I run apt-get upgrade to install the available updates for the php packages before purging it works.

These are the outdated packages after installing a fresh Beet box:

That's is why this is only reproducible with Beetbox

[oxyc]

geerlingguy.php-versions used to have the following task which would also fix the issue:

- name: Purge PHP packages installed by default.
  apt:
    name: "{{ item }}"
    state: absent
    purge: yes
    force: yes
  when: >
    php_purge.changed or
    php_ondrej_ubuntu_repo.changed or
    php_ondrej_debian_repo.changed
  with_items:
    - php-common

Not sure this is the correct approach though? It's more bulletproof at least. Ping @geerlingguy I know how you love Ubuntu.

This is how the process looks when purging php-common as well:

[thom8]

@oxyc thanks so much for the thorough debug!

Still not able to reproduce this in the latest DEV version so its probably something I'm doing.. But need to be able to replicate it here to confirm a fix.

I'm using beet/dev (virtualbox, 0.7.713) and the default project -- https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox/blob/master/.beetbox/config.yml#L3-L23

Confirmed steps. Build default project -- PHP 7.1 Add php_version: "5.6" and vagrant provision -- PHP 5.6 Add php_version: "7.0" and vagrant provision -- PHP 7.0

Do I need to provision multiple times with the same version?

*Note this could be something that has been fixed upstream in APT repos as this box was build a couple of days ago -- https://app.vagrantup.com/beet/boxes/dev

[oxyc]

I was actually using v0.7.3 of beet box, not the development build.

Steps to reproduce were:

1. composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev drupal8 --stability dev --no-interaction; cd drupal8
2. composer require --dev beet/box
3. vagrant up
4. vagrant ssh and run apt list --installed | grep php, noting that some packages are outdated.
5. Change php_version: "7.0"
6. vagrant provision
7. Just as the Purge task from geerlingguy.php-versions completed (before the new packages were installed), I aborted the provision process and checked the packages again, noting that php7.2 was now installed.

I have no idea why apt chooses to upgrade the packages rather than purging when php7.1-common is purged. Seems apt priorities upgrades? ~I'll rebuild and check if apt purge --no-upgrade is evaluated.~

[thom8]

Thanks @oxyc I've managed to replicate it! Now need to see why I can't in the latest version.

[oxyc]

Wonder if geerlingguy.php-versions could just uninstall php{{ php_version }}-common rather than all the packages? They should all depend on phpX-common anyways, so maybe let the resolver figure it out as it seems to choke when we're too (but not entirely) specific.

What chokes the removal is specifying php7.1-fpm. If I remove it from the list it works, and all PHP related packages are removed.

@geerlingguy do you know if replacing the current purge with:

- name: Purge PHP version packages.
  apt:
    name: "{{ item }}"
    state: absent
    purge: yes
    force: yes
  when: "'php' + php_version not in item"
  with_items:
    - "php5.6-common"
    - "php7.0-common"
    - "php7.1-common"

would work? It would be way nicer now that 7.2 is coming as well. That loop is becoming rather big. Limited testing suggests it works.

[thom8]

@oxyc that would be much cleaner, I guess the only issue is a package which doesn't have php-common as a dependency, however IMO that would be a problem in the package.

[thom8]

@oxyc still can't seem to replicate on the latest build so have pushed a new release -- https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox/releases/tag/0.7.4

It now forces an apt-update -- https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox/compare/0.7.3...0.7.4 on each build so playbooks will be working with the latest versions.

[thom8]

0.7.4 fixes the issue described in https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox/issues/438#issuecomment-330107159

Can anyone else confirm the latest version fixes this issue?

[klonos]

Hello @thom8, @oxyc this is on an existing, freshly-installed (yesterday) 0.7.3 instance, with php_version: "7.0" specified in its local.config.yml:

I will try on a fresh 0.7.4 instance and report back shortly...

PS: @thom8 do you still need the full logs after provisioning?

...as I'm waiting for the 0.7.4 instance to fire up, I believe that it might worth mentioning that I noticed these 2 warnings in the log about not being able to find pre/post tasks in expected paths:

OK, git clone'd my project, cd'd to the project dir, run composer require --dev beet/box, run vagrant up. Once the instance fired up (everything went fine btw, didn't even get the dcr installation failure form #440, but this might be because php 5.6 got installed instead of 7.x):

PHP 7.2 is not supported by geerlingguy.php-versions yet. Feel free to open up an issue in the issue queue. When I scanned ondrej's issue queue yesterday it seemed all packages had 7.2 versions except php-solr and php-ast. php-mbcrypt needs a fix as it's now deprecated.

[klonos]

Yeah, I'm not using 7.2. Just tried it for troubleshooting purposes. For the record, once one attempts to switch to 7.2, then fails and tries to revert back to either 5.6 or 7.0, half-installed 7.2 packages are left behind:

Adding a post task to cleanup as per @christopher-hopper's comment fixes things of course (thanks).

[oxyc]

Opened a PR for the purge task at https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-php-versions/pull/8 and for PHP 7.2 at https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-php-versions/pull/10

[thom8]

@klonos as @oxyc mentioned 7.2 is not supported so it doesn't cleanup, yet.

In this case I'd recommend rebuilding rather that cleaning up, one of the main benefits of this project is the fast provisioning time so there's not much point in ever doing clean up.

I use a bash alias -- alias vreset='vagrant destroy -f && time vagrant up'

[oxyc]

@thom8 geerlingguy.php-version now uses the fixed purge task and supports PHP 7.2 as well. Drupal and XDebug do not support it yet though.

[thom8]

@oxyc cheers -- composer role-update --> https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox/commit/2c89a1a6c5c7b461f8867b6672bd9f3bfb51941f

[thom8]

need to look into automating that..

[thom8]

Could chuck it into the nightly build before the CI run but couldn't get git running properly on lambda via https://serverless.com/.

[thom8]

Got composer updates automated -- https://github.com/beetboxvm/beetbox/pulls

Now just role updates, I've got a plan ;)

[klonos]

Yep, still having problems with 0.8.6, 0.8.7, and 0.8.8 :(

[klonos]

https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-php-versions/issues/14

[klonos]

Just FTR, I have upgraded from 0.8.10 to 0.8.12 and the issue seems to be sorted. No need to have a /tasks/post file added to clean up any traces of php7.2 any more 🎉 👏 Thanks @thom8!

[thom8]

Thanks for confirming @klonos :)

[klonos]

...aaaaaand, broken again with the new release :(

...I have to return to having to use the /tasks/post/php-72-remove.yml file again:

- name: Remove php 7.2 packages.
  package:
    name: "php7.2-{{ package_name }}"
    state: absent
  with_items:
    - cli
    - common
  loop_control:
    loop_var: package_name
  when: php_version == "5.6"

(I have set php5.6 as the default in my ~/.beetbox/config.yml)
