v8js on Laravel Homestead with php7 #66

Closed BeggarsMattM closed 8 years ago

BeggarsMattM commented 8 years ago

I just can't get the above combination to work no matter what I try.

pecl install v8js-0.2.0 fails because "libv8 must be version 3.24.6 or greater"

pecl install v8js-0.1.3 fails because "ext/standard/php_smart_str.h: No such file or directory"

All dependencies are installed as far as I can see. Is there any help for this at the moment?

TomCaserta commented 8 years ago

Have you tried installing a newer version of libv8 from source?

BeggarsMattM commented 8 years ago

Ah yes, sorry, it took a couple of hours to fumble my way through the documentation but you're completely correct, that does work. If I have to do this again every time I restart Vagrant I'm not sure it's a realistic proposition though! And for all my efforts I am rewarded with "V8Js::compileString():1: ReferenceError: Message is not defined"... but I'm sure that's a completely different problem.

Thanks for your help.

Hah yeah its an absolute pain, especially when you recreate your vagrant vm (shouldnt be required every time you restart though). We do need a better way but it does mean some form of provision script that'd take an hour to build libv8 (at least on my machine!).

Glad its at least in a state of semi working!

That reminds me, we do need better error handling too.

I wonder if you could help me work out what's gone wrong with my install, given that if I try to create a component with 'prerender' => true I get the above error ('V8Js::compileString():1: ReferenceError: Message is not defined'). 'prerender' => false works fine!

Hmf, it sounds like the javascript is not being loaded serverside. Can you double check your paths in your configuration to the javascript file and make sure the Messages class exists in that file.

BeggarsMattM commented 8 years ago

All the paths in config/react.php look correct to me... very confusing!

BeggarsMattM commented 8 years ago

Actually I can mess around with the contents of config/react.php quite a lot and it doesn't make any difference that I can see. Is there any way that could not be being found?

BeggarsMattM commented 8 years ago

Okay, never mind, some liberal clearing of everything I could think of with artisan seems to have resolved the issue. We have liftoff!
