It should compile and create a phar from laravel project but it do not

[theofidry]

Could it be that your artisan file is not included? You can verify that by using the --debug option and inspect the dumped directory.

Alternatively I would need to check what LaravelZero do to make it work.

[khanakia]

I have added a fresh laravel installation and i have not changed a single file. The only file i created is box.json in project root

i have uploaded the code here https://github.com/khanakia/box_test

You can check here's the debug output

@khanakia, I cloned your repo and tried it with Box 4.3.8 and had no problems. I'm on an Ubuntu box.

[khanakia]

@netbrothers-tr Did you run composer install command first? It seems you compiled without vendor directory.

[netbrothers-tr]

@netbrothers-tr Did you run composer install command first? It seems you compiled without vendor directory.

@khanakia, I actually didn't and now I'm wondering how this even worked. ;-) Thanks for the hint.

However, I ran box again, this time with all dependencies installed. It turns out, the line "@php artisan package:discover --ansi" in the "scripts" > "post-autoload-dump" section of the composer file cannot be executed in box context, because it is run from some other directory.

You can fix this in two ways:

1. Remove the line in your composer.json. It probably isn't need at compile time.
2. Adjust the line, such that the artisan command has the full path like so for example: "@php /path/to/project/artisan package:discover --ansi"

@theofidry, is there something you could tweak using the --working-dir= composer option?

[khanakia]

@netbrothers-tr Also how can i fix the file path issues ?

Basically, i trying to phar the whole laravel application and want be able to run it.

PHP Warning:  require_once(phar:///Users/test/Downloads/box_test-main/public/index.phar/public/../bootstrap/app.php): Failed to open stream: phar error: "bootstrap/app.php" is not a file in phar "/Users/test/Downloads/box_test-main/public/index.phar" in phar:///Users/test/Downloads/box_test-main/public/index.phar/public/index.php on line 47

[netbrothers-tr]

@khanakia, how did you get this warning? And some more questions:

• What are you trying to achieve with this in general?
• Why are you trying to compile the whole application?

If you are trying to build a command-line tool, consider using Laravel Zero instead.

[khanakia]

Basically, I was trying to protect the source code in some way to make it hard to be added new features. Anyway i see that's won't be possible this way. Thanks :smiley:

[netbrothers-tr]

Okay, now I see your motivation. Thanks for clarifying! Well, although it should be technically possible to create a Phar from a whole web application, it might become pretty difficult. If obfuscation is the main goal, there is quiet a number of tools out there, which do the job. To protect your code completely, ionCube comes to my mind, which is a commercial solution.
