Circular call to script handler 'post-package-install' detected

[riasvdv]

When using composer 2, I'm getting the following exception

It happens right after downloading the "dist", so I assume it's related to this plugin

[jasonvarga]

Running the command a second time fixes it.

I am running into this issue as well via GitHub actions. It may be related:

Also just run into a test failing due to this. https://github.com/doublethreedigital/sc-digital-products/runs/1303127649?check_suite_focus=true

I also just ran into this problem when attempting to upgrade to Laravel 8.

[jasonvarga]

Hmm I know this was an issue (and clearly still is for others) but I can't seem to reproduce it anymore.

What version of Composer are you running?

composer -V

I'm not sure just yet on how to check that within a GitHub action (short of adding composer -V to your workflow).

[jesseleite]

To anyone that is having this issue, can you paste your php please support:details output, so we can see which (if any) addons you have installed?

[jasonvarga]

(Assuming you're using Statamic)

[edalzell]

I have this and I can't run that command cuz Statamic didn't install properly. I have an addon that uses that dist plugin as well, so that bug is in that addon (mine) as well.

[jasonvarga]

What about composer -V?

❯ composer -V
Composer version 2.0.2 2020-10-25 23:03:59

Confirmed failed the first time, worked the second time. Let me know how I can help debug this as it looks like my addons do this too.

[duncanmcclean]

Ran into this issue when trying to install my addon locally as well, as it uses this plugin. If you want to replicate easilly, clone this repo down and try composer installing.

Here's some information:

Statamic I can't run p support:details as it fails half way through the install process and gives up. But in the composer install process, it installs v2.0.22.

Ah... managed to temporarily fix it by downgrading to Composer 1 with composer self-update --1. Also seems to work in CI as well.

[jasonvarga]

Right, it's only a Composer 2 issue.

[jonassiewertsen]

That's my solution for now.

It's a little slower, but downgrading to composer v1 is a good workaround for my pipeline as described by @damcclean: https://github.com/jonassiewertsen/statamic-butik/commit/1162a017b2c16d1641b542734215fbbb77147a3c

[pierlon]

This looks to be the same issue I was having with civicrm/composer-downloads-plugin. Did some debugging and found it was a bug within Composer, so I filed an issue: https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/9463. The maintainer was quick to fix the issue so I'd expect it would be apart of the next release.

[jesseleite]

Nice find @pierlon! 🎉

[edalzell]

Composer was updated with this fix

[duncanmcclean]

If it's fixed, I guess that means this issue can be closed?

[tao]

I encountered this issue on Composer 2.0.4 but an update to 2.0.7 fixed the problem.

[edalzell]

@jasonvarga you can close this.

I am still getting this on Netlify using Statamic 3.0.31:

Composer version 2.0.7 and 2.0.8 produce this error. It seems to only happen on Netlify. Locally I am unable to reproduce this.

Any ideas?

Update

It works perfectly on Vercel. It is beyond me why it does not on Netlify. Does not seem a problem with this package here and/or Statamic and its addons,.

[jasonvarga]

Thanks for the updates here - especially @pierlon

I'm not sure what's up with Netlify @codedge are they definitely on the latest version of Composer? Closing this issue but feel free to open a new one if necessary.
