Script @auto-scripts was called via post-install-cmd

The installer shouldn't be trying to clear cache / connect to database before proper db credentials are setup. (Trying to use root user as default isn't the best idea either).

[ADmad]

Also after project creating I modified .env and set DATABASE_URL to appropriate value to use mysql with required credentials. Yet trying to run bin/console bolt:setup or accesing the site in browser still gives the error An exception occurred in driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1698] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'.

[bobdenotter]

I think there's a few steps missing in your description.

The installer shouldn't be trying to clear cache / connect to database before proper db credentials are setup.

It doesn't, or at least it shouldn't. Could you give more details about what steps you did?

[ADmad]

composer create-project bolt/project bolt4 is the only command I ran and the output is the one provided above (I just redacted the output composer showed when installing packages, as it's not relevant).

Any way, here's the full output:

BTW I have an actual environment variable APP_ENV set to dev. Could that be causing a problem (although that's the same as what the .env file seems to set) ?

[bobdenotter]

That's really peculiar.. If I run the same, I get this:

The installation copies https://github.com/bolt/project/blob/master/.env.dist to .env, and it should use that. It uses SQLite, so i'm not sure why it uses "root" for MySQL in your case..

Unless you've set another DATABASE_URL in your ENV for this project, this should work.

edit I just now saw your last comment.. Looks like that could be the culprit, yes.

[ADmad]

To confirm I don't have any DATABASE_URL set, just APP_ENV, which is the same value in the .env file.

[bobdenotter]

Do you have a clue why it insist on using root@localhost, instead of the one that's configured in the file?

https://github.com/bolt/project/blob/master/.env.dist#L21

Your version of the file does say that, right?

[ADmad]

Do you have a clue why it insist on using root@localhost, instead of the one that's configured in the file?

No clue. The .env created under the project folder is identical to https://github.com/bolt/project/blob/master/.env.dist. The error occurs during composer create-project command itself so I haven't even had a chance to modify the .env.

Even if I do modify DATABASE_URL in .env it still tries to connect to MySQL using root@localhost.

[bobdenotter]

That must be something in your ENV though.. Does printenv | grep DATABASE_URL print something?

[ADmad]

Does printenv | grep DATABASE_URL print something?

No.

[bobdenotter]

Then I have no idea why it does that. Regardless, I'm pretty sure this is a problem on your environment, and not necessarily in the project.

[ADmad]

I'm pretty sure this is a problem on your environment

Yes that's likely but what? :slightly_smiling_face:. If bolt is picking up the db info from somewhere else besides DATABASE_URL env var then it is potentially an issue with the project.

I realize that since it's an env specific issue it's difficult for you to debug, so I will try to dig into it myself.

[bobdenotter]

Yes that's likely but what?

I wish i knew! 😅

If bolt is picking up the db info from somewhere else besides DATABASE_URL env var then it is potentially an issue with the project.

Yes, that's true.. I think it's either "working correctly, but not as intended", or it is "working incorrectly, for some reason". Don't know which, though.

Either way: If you can figure out what's causing it, the very least we can do is document it, and add a caveat to the docs about this peculiar quirk. :-)

[ADmad]

Figured it out. Since I have APP_ENV already set the .env file is not loaded and the ORM tries to use some defaults.

https://github.com/bolt/project/blob/b42dc1feb5c82952e12875096586ec6d4afc4fff/public/index.php#L13-L18

[ADmad]

Perhaps loading the .env should not be skipped if APP_ENV is dev.

[benr77]

I think the index and console files are using outdated versions. The default index.php in Symfony 5.1 looks like this, and has no conditional statement around the DotEnv component:

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

use App\Kernel;
use Symfony\Component\Dotenv\Dotenv;
use Symfony\Component\ErrorHandler\Debug;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

require dirname(__DIR__).'/vendor/autoload.php';

(new Dotenv())->bootEnv(dirname(__DIR__).'/.env');

if ($_SERVER['APP_DEBUG']) {
    umask(0000);

    Debug::enable();
}

if ($trustedProxies = $_SERVER['TRUSTED_PROXIES'] ?? false) {
    Request::setTrustedProxies(explode(',', $trustedProxies), Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_ALL ^ Request::HEADER_X_FORWARDED_HOST);
}

if ($trustedHosts = $_SERVER['TRUSTED_HOSTS'] ?? false) {
    Request::setTrustedHosts([$trustedHosts]);
}

$kernel = new Kernel($_SERVER['APP_ENV'], (bool) $_SERVER['APP_DEBUG']);
$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
$response = $kernel->handle($request);
$response->send();
$kernel->terminate($request, $response);

My installation immediately failed with the database connection error due to the .env file not being read due to the conditional - I did indeed have an APP_ENV environment variable set (to "dev").

[bobdenotter]

Closing this, because it should be fixed with the updates to .env handling and index.php updates to latest SF standards. Feel free to re-open if issues persist! :-)
