It was working until some upgrade performed in the backend in Dec.

Error message

Injecting configuration and compiling...
        -----> PHP app detected

        !     ERROR: Failed to download minimal PHP for bootstrapping.
 [1G       Please try again, or contact support if this problem persists.
  

And maybe relating to this with heroku

I've been able to reproduce this in my dev environment.

jamezpolley commented 5 years ago

So at minimum we're going to have to jump to heroku-16 which has quite a different set of packages. I don't know how this will affect things and I don't really have a good way to test this before we roll it out everywhere. I can easily test things on my dev instance, but I'm not going to be able to test everything..

@jamezpolley I'm pretty sure it's possible to change the buildpacks without upgrading to heroku-16.

See for example https://github.com/openaustralia/buildstep/blob/master/Dockerfile#L11. That install a new buildpack that isn't there by default. I strongly suspect you can use the same or similar command to upgrade an existing buildpack.

mlandauer commented 5 years ago

However, having said that it will obviously be necessary soon to upgrade to heroku-16 if cedar-14 is near its end-of-life. Maybe it can be done in stages to minimise potential disruption and catch small errors soon?

Is there a fix to this issue or do no php scrapers work at this time?

It's not well documented, but we've added support for herokuish:18 as a build platform. To use it, add a platform file to your repo like this: https://github.com/planningalerts-scrapers/bankstown/blob/master/platform

I've tried that fix and it does not resolve the issue. It does change the the error slightly to this (I've left in all the "tofu" characters morph seems to be adding. I'm not sure why they are appearing):

 -----> Bootstrapping...  ! ERROR:  -----> Bootstrapping...  ! ERROR: Failed to download minimal PHP for bootstrapping! ! ! This is most likely a temporary internal error. If the problem  -----> Bootstrapping...  ! ERROR: Failed to download minimal PHP for bootstrapping! ! ! This is most likely a temporary internal error. If the problem  ! persists, make sure that you are not running a custom or forked ! version of the Heroku PHP buildpack which may need updating.
