Kit is using the wrong php version

[SamuelNitsche]

When I open a project, I get the following error message.

Fatal error: Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 7.4.0". You are running 7.3.11. in /xxx/vendor/composer/platform_check.php on line 24

Running php -v outputs the correct PHP version which I am using.

PHP 8.0.0 (cli) (built: Nov 30 2020 13:47:29) ( NTS )

Kit version: 2.0.0 Operating system: macOS 10.15.7

I also got this same error message. I am running version 2.0.0 on macOS.

There may be multiple php installations in your system. Remove old ones if you can or see if there is any environment variable path precedence issues. I'll add the ability to choose custom PHP executable in the next release.

I think OSX comes with PHP bundled, I dont think is a path variable issue, otherwise the terminal would be returning the wrong version as well.

PHP installed with homebrew is at (version which I use):

• /usr/local/bin/php

PHP bundled is at:

• /usr/bin/php

Content of /etc/paths:

❯ cat /etc/paths
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin

Changing the path variable or /etc/paths file don't work.

The path that Laravel Kit uses:

My path:

I think this should do the work.

if (process.platform === "darwin") {
  process.env.PATH = ["/usr/local/bin", process.env.PATH].join(":");
}

Unfortunately, I can't test this because I don't have a mac.

[SamuelNitsche]

Not really. I have a m1 mac and php is located somewhere else. I think using this package makes more sense.

This package has a webpack bug saying it can't resolve a module. The dependencies are outdated. I need to fork this and fix the bugs.

[SamuelNitsche]

I just built the app from source using the latest code and now it works fine for me.

Fixed in v2.0.1
