Sample data for CE

[Szaamaan]

Hi,

is it me, or is sample data not working currently? The default config.yaml file seems to have filled out defaults for the CE edition with sample data (only thing NOT set is the "install_sample_data" option).

Regardless of the "install_sample_data" option, the sample data isn't installed. If I attempt to deploy it manually using "bash m-bin-magento sample:deploy" (which seems it shouldn't be needed, but regardless) it fails with the following:

$ bash m-bin-magento sample:deploy
+ arguments=sample:deploy
+ cd /d/magento/vagrant-magento
+ vagrant ssh -c '$MAGENTO_ROOT/bin/magento sample:deploy'

Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see <https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details.

Read <https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.
There is an error during sample data deployment. Composer file will be reverted.

I'm assuuming this is caused by some disparity between the used Magento2 and sample data GIT, but I'm unsure how to resolve it.

@Szaamaan can you please post here your config.yaml content (repository_url and magento sections)?

[Szaamaan]

@paliarush Like I wrote, I'm using the stock config basically:

repository_url:
  # [To apply changes: init-project -fc]
  # git@github.com:magento/magento2ce.git OR custom one
  ce: "git@github.com:magento/magento2.git"
  # git@github.com:magento/magento2ee.git OR custom one
  ee: ""
  # can be replaced with custom repository
  ce_sample_data: "git@github.com:magento/magento2-sample-data.git"
  # git@github.com:magento/magento2-sample-data-ee.git OR custom one
ee_sample_data: ""

The only changes I've made to the config are:

• in guest I've increased memory
• in magento I've set install_sample_data to 1 and changed the host name

[paliarush]

Config looks good.

Have you tried to run bash ./init_project.sh -fc? Note that this command will remove your current code base and box itself, then will recreate everything from scratch.

There are 2 ways to install sample data: via composer or via linking git repositories. Here we use second approach. So don't try m-bin-magento sampledata:deploy. BTW, there was a typo in your command bash m-bin-magento sample:deploy, should be sampledata:deploy.

[Szaamaan]

@paliarush Yes. I've tried that. Again, it seems the sample data is somehow incompatible with the dev version of Magento...

[paliarush]

Just set up new instance of vagrant project from scratch using the following settings and sample data was successfully installed:

repository_url:
  ce: "git@github.com:magento/magento2.git"
  ee: ""
  ce_sample_data: "git@github.com:magento/magento2-sample-data.git"
  ee_sample_data: ""
magento:
  # [To apply changes: m-switch-to-ce -f OR m-switch-to-ee -f]
  install_sample_data: 1

BTW specified sample data repository is kept in sync with develop branch of Magento, so this should not be a problem.

My host is OSX, which one do you have? Unfortunately I don't have access to Windows host at the moment to test it.

Will leave it open, maybe someone also has the same problem. Thanks for reporting this.

[Szaamaan]

In that case it might be something with the script running on a Windows host. Again, sample data is never installed, despite the correct settings in config.yaml.

EDIT: Excuse my ignorance, but perhaps I'm missing some step?

From my understanding - running the config you posted should result in a working Magento installation already populated with sample data (visible right on the main page)? If not, then is there another thing required?

If no other commands or changes are needed then I have a feeling it might be the symlinks on Windows not working the same way they might be under other OSes.

[paliarush]

@Szaamaan just looked at init_project.sh and found old comment related to linking EE (the same is valid for sample data linking):

Automatic switch to EE during project initialization cannot be supported on Windows

So on Windows you will not get EE and Sample data installed just by running init_project.sh. You need to perform one more step after CE with no sample data is successfully installed. Run m-switch-to-ce -f, then you should see prompt:

Wait while Magento2 code is uploaded in PhpStorm and press any key to continue...

Basically you need to make sure that after symlinks were created on your host, all Sample data files are uploaded to the guest. Current recommended way to do this is using PhpStorm deployment feature (should be configured for you by init_project.sh), however you can use any other sync method (e.g. rsync).

After you hit any button to continue installation, Magento with sample data should be installed.

Hi,

I'm having the same issue on OSX 10.11.6.

One thing I noticed is when doing a ls of $MAGENTO_ROOT/dev/tools is that the symlink seems to be an invalid one. Could it be due to the case sensitivity of the file paths (users vs Users)?

[paliarush]

@jasonheecs since OSX is case insensitive and Ubuntu is case sensitive, it can be a problem. Please read item 9 in https://github.com/paliarush/magento2-vagrant-for-developers#faq

I recommend to do init_project.sh -fc in this case (will pull codebase again and re-create box based on your current config.yaml).

For some reason Windows Git Bash doesn't always show the message "Wait while ...". It just stops without any message on screen. I have all debugging options set. Anyhow log file m-switch-to-ce.log shows the message when execution stops. Proposed solution works so just copy/deploy manually sample data from host to guest and continue installation.
