Installation failed

[xApep]

Hi. I'm trying to install composer but it fails almost everytime. Two times (out of 10 worked) but when I've installed metamodels via composer no file was installed / downloaded to system/modules folder, which is more stranger.

I've tried on 3.3.5, 3.3.4 and 3.2.14. I have wampserver (execute time 3000s), win 7.

I've made a video so you can see the first issue. http://www.screencast.com/users/EDsolution/folders/Default/media/451e01fe-2493-4b9c-b5f7-be93de683561

Try to skip the migration, go to the system settings and change the execution mode to "detached mode". It may necessary to change the php executable path now. Then try to run the package update. If it fails, go into TL_ROOT/composer and have a look into the composer.out file. This is the output file from running composer.

[xApep]

Hm..just can't figure out the path. I've tried this: \C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.16 \C:\wamp\www\edsolutionCMS\composer

but i always get The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Any idea which would be?

Tnx

p.s. Do i need to install composer, https://getcomposer.org ?

Sry, but I don't know the right syntax for non-unix machines, I have no windows dev machine. Maybe @backbone87 can help here?!

p.s. Do i need to install composer

Composer get installed automatically, when you press the "Install Composer" button. You have done this in your screencast at 0:30.

OK I've figure out the Contao setting, php executable path. Now the composer was installed successfuly but when I try than to install metamodels I get this.

I suggest that author of composer or anybody of developer install composer and some extension on windows OS and you will see that it simply doesn't work. I've read the forum on de/community and everyone on WIN OS has the same issue.

Give me a windows system and I will give it a try. I have no windows system that is ready for development, no one of the "composer developers" use or have a windows system for testing... :-\

[xApep]

No offence but I don't get it. You have develope something that has big impact in working with Contao and you just ignore half or more Contao users (WIN) which are stuck now with new version, features?

Ah well, strange world.

[tristanlins]

you just ignore half or more Contao users (WIN) which are stuck now with new version

99% of all Contao installations run on Linux/Unix servers. We "ignore" only the 1% windows users, in fact we the "composer developers" are linux or mac users without windows systems... If you find a windows developer (like @backbone87) please ask him to have a look and help us make composer run on windows :-)

Ah well, strange world.

This is not only our problem, the composer project itself had the same problem. Only windows users, but no windows developers. I suppose that most developers are "sick" of windows ;-D

[tristanlins]

Afaik @stefanheimes also use windows, I hope he can help here?! :-)

@EDsolution have you checked if the file C:\wamp\www\edsolution\system\modules\!composer\ContaoCommunityAlliance\Contao\Composer\ClassLoader.php still exists?

[xApep]

Hi. I will make video and you will see what happens, because the files are missing and in C:\wamp\www\edsolution\system\modules!composer\ContaoCommunityAlliance\Contao\Composer I have only folder Controller and no files in Composer. As it on git there is no such files or it get's deleted by "update".

I'ts not just that folder, also there is no "factory" folder in dc...(as I remember).

[tristanlins]

If the file exist, please try to replace line 14-18 in file system/modules/!composer/config/autoload.php with:

/**
 * Register classloader
 */
if (defined('PHP_WINDOWS_VERSION_BUILD')) {
    include(TL_ROOT . '\\system\\modules\\!composer\\ContaoCommunityAlliance\\Contao\\Composer\\ClassLoader.php');
} else {
    include(TL_ROOT . '/system/modules/!composer/ContaoCommunityAlliance/Contao/Composer/ClassLoader.php');
}
\ContaoCommunityAlliance\Contao\Composer\ClassLoader::register();

[xApep]

p.s. @tristanlins we can go teamviewer, and you will get windows system :)

[tristanlins]

I have only folder Controller and no files in Composer

Eeek, that is not good ;-D Do you even know which version was checked out by git? Maybe it is just a problem that we switched the repository from contao-community-alliance/composer to contao-community-alliance/composer-client?! The tags should still exists in contao-community-alliance/composer. But if you are on the master or develop branch this could explain why the files are missing?! :-\

[tristanlins]

@EDsolution you can contact me on Mumble (mumble://mumble.c-c-a.org:62492) or phone / email :-)
