Custom spout not displayed in drop down menu

[noiret]

Hello,

I have copied src/spouts/rss/feed.php to create a new spout inside src/spouts/rss/ directory but this spout is not available in the spout menu.

Am I missing something?

Weird. I do not see why that would not work.

I tried just copying feed.php into customspout.php, replacing the class name. (The file name needs to match the class name – but that is already the case in your example, unless the file name ends with a space that was not copied or something.)

Maybe try opening http://localhost/selfoss/sources/spouts (replace http://localhost/selfoss with your selfoss address) and pressing Ctrl-F5 to clear out browser cache (though web server will usually send headers to prevent caching for PHP scripts so I do not think it would be cached).

You can also try to apply the following patch and then opening the aforementioned URL just to verify selfoss sees the file:

--- a/src/helpers/SpoutLoader.php
+++ b/src/helpers/SpoutLoader.php

             if (is_dir($location . '/' . $dir) && substr($dir, 0, 1) !== '.') {

                 foreach (scandir($location . '/' . $dir) as $file) {

Hello,

I have added this code in the SpoutLoader with the var_dump call :

foreach (scandir($location . '/' . $dir) as $file) {
  // only scan visible .php files
  ini_set('display_errors', 1);
  ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
  error_reporting(E_ALL);
  $fp = fopen('/var/www/html/selfoss/vardump.txt', 'a+');
  fwrite($fp, serialize($file))
  fclose($fp);
  var_dump($file);
<...>

But nothing appears on the screen & the dump file is not created.

I've disabled OpCache, forced a client-side refresh, restarted the Apache server and PHP-FPM without improvement. I've also disabled caching by commenting out the mod_header directive and adding the following block to the .htcaccess file:

# DISABLE CACHING
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"
    Header set Pragma "no-cache"
    Header set Expires 0
</IfModule>

For testing, i removed the Golem spout (src/spouts/rss/golem.php), and it's still visible on the /selfoss/sources/spouts page. 🤯

It's probably a problem with my environment, not with Selfoss.
