Error: exit status 255

Description

I've just started getting nitro errors when trying to install plugins. Any idea what be might on? I've never run into this before and can't find anything about the error

Steps to reproduce

nitro craft plugin/install whatever-plugin
connecting to spm.nitro
*** installing whatever-plugin
Error: exit status 255

Additional info

• Nitro version: 2.0.9
• Docker version: 4.5.0 (74594), Mac Intel

Please help! I'm running into this "error status 255" with all kinds of stuff now. Can someone explain what it means, and what I should do? I'm tempted to uninstall and reinstall Nitro, but I don't know if I will lose my sites if I do that?

Hi @AndrewMac, can you skip the nitro craft command and use nitro ssh and then when in the machine run php plugin/install whatever-plugin?

[AndrewMac]

Hi @jasonmccallister, and thanks for picking this up.

I'm afraid nothing happens when I ssh in. I get no feedback from any craft commands.

For example:

/app $ php craft context
/app $

I just tried creating a new Craft site, using 'nitro create ...' and I got an error during setup/welcome:

> @php craft setup/welcome

Script @php craft setup/welcome handling the post-create-project-cmd event returned with error code 255

I was, however, able to nitro ssh and run install/welcome there, which worked.

Funny thing about the error above, though, is that I'm running PHP 8, not 7.

I don't really know what's going on, things have been working just fine for months, but suddenly ...

Thanks so much for your help, but it looks like I might have been wasting your time. Sorry about that!

I think I might have solved the issue. I traced things back to a plugin called "Click and Collect". It's been installed for quite some time now, but for some reason it has just now started to cause problems on my local dev environment. I'm not actually sure what changed to make it start playing up, and it still seems to be working on the live site, but strangely it's started causing all sorts of problems locally — first the nitro issues and then (after I rebuilt the nitro environment for the local site, white screens for Craft itself). I've now removed it, and Nitro commands seem to have started working again.

I've also put in a feature request for Commerce to add that click-and-collect function ;-)

[AndrewMac]

Everything is continuing to work as expected after removing the plugin that looked to be causing the problem.
