Symlink bug on app boot-up

[arnor01]

What happened?

I have made a NativePHP app which works great. Inside the application I added logging of the errors to a private slack channel, to keep tracks of errors.
When testing the app I came accross the error symlink(): Argument #1 ($target) must be of type string, array given, but my application still worked so ignored it for some time.
But the errors keeps coming back so I looked into it a bit and found out it happens everytime the storage:link command is ran, if I'm correct that will be run on every startup of the application.

It lucky doesn't bother the working of the application, but still wanted to address this here in case I can do something about it or that it actually is a bug.

symlink(): Argument #1 ($target) must be of type string, array given
#0 /Applications/{appname}/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/resources/app/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Filesystem/Filesystem.php(355): symlink(Array, '/Applications/P...')
#1 /Applications/{appname}p/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/resources/app/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/StorageLinkCommand.php(49): Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem->link(Array, '/Applications/P...')
#2 /Applications/{appname}/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/resources/app/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/BoundMethod.php(36): Illuminate\Foundation\Console\StorageLinkCommand->handle()

I have this issue as well.

I noticed that if I don't run the command php artisan storage:link --force I am seeing errors during the build command related to the storage folder not being found in the app/public/ directory.

After running the command and then building the application, the error is gone, and I haven't seen any other errors on my logs regarding this issue.

It seems like the default storage location is not set in the native app without running the command and so it looks for it in the wrong place.

@EPuigdemont I will try that whenever I have to update the application!

@EPuigdemont I have tried this today and it changed the error to: symlink(): Read-only file system. But that seems more like a device related problem than a NativePHP problem.

Interesting! I've not come across this. I'll look into it

@simonhamp I experienced the same error yesterday. For me php artisan storage:link --force did not change the error.

[simonhamp]

@KirillDakhnyuk Are you on Mac or Linux?

[kirilldakhniuk]

@simonhamp Mac M1, Laravel 10, PHP 8.1, Node 20.6.1.

[simonhamp]

@KirillDakhnyuk Is it blocking your app from running?

When and where do you see the error?

[kirilldakhniuk]

@simonhamp actually it did not. I see the error inside /Users/kirilldakhnyuk/Library/Application Support/clipstone/storage/logs/laravel.log every time when I start the app.
Not sure if it help but I pushed the code https://github.com/KirillDakhnyuk/Clipstone
