[BUG] Base-2016 theme folder empty after install

[PhillippOhlandt]

Hey,

i followed this guides to setup an installation of Bolt with the create-project and another with the manual method. I used the standard configuration, shown in the docs to setup my test installations.

And on both installations, the public/theme/base-2016 folder is empty. I got no errors on the installation.

Details

• Relevant Bolt Version: 3.0.0 beta 1
• Install type: Composer create-project install, manual with own composer.json
• PHP version: 7.0
• Used webserver: php dev server
• Systen: Mac OSX

Just tried here with latest everything and it Works for Me™ … can you re-test?

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes here, but I have had similar experiences with a similar setup. Using composer create-project installed the themes as expected (though I could have sworn this was not the case a couple of days ago) but the manual installation described here -- and specifically the composer.json detailed here -- left the theme installation incomplete. /public/theme/base-2016 was created, but no files were copied into it. Adding "Bolt\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installThemesAndFiles" to the post-update-cmd of composer.json installs all themes and files correctly.

System Details

Bolt: 3.0.0-beta1
PHP Version: 7.0.5
Web Server: Apache 2.4.16
OS: OS X 10.11.3

@jdhmtl: No toes were harmed in the making of this issue thread 😉

Was the installThemesAndFiles entry in the post-create-project-cmd section of your project's composer.json when you ran composer create-project?

[jdhmtl]

@GawainLynch When I ran composer create-project last night, it was. The installs last Saturday that matched @PhillippOhlandt 's results exactly, I couldn't say.

When I ran composer create-project last night, it was.

Can I take from that it's working for you now?

[jdhmtl]

composer create-project is working as expected, yes. The manual install detailed on the Bolt site leaves the theme folder created but empty, but that's possibly more a documentation issue than a code issue.

OK… So @anketwokings dropped the jar of Stupid this morning… and it broke… and poisoned me 😉

Which one of these qualifies as the "manual way"?

• The traditional way, using (S)FTP
• Creating a new Composer installation
• Adding to an existing Composer project

@GawainLynch :/
haha!

[jdhmtl]

I was referring specifically to this: https://docs.bolt.cm/master/installation/composer/creating-a-new-project#initialise-a-project

[GwendolenLynch]

As in you skipped this section?

…assuming if that's a "yes", then the way the headings layout wasn't obvious that part was related?

[jdhmtl]

No, I followed the instructions through the rest of the page. post-create-project-cmd doesn't fire because you're running composer install and installThemesAndFiles is not included in the post-install-cmd or the post-update-cmd sections of that composer.json. Adding this last bit allowed it to install as I would have expected.

See… I told you about the jar, here is what it looked like before it broke:

Fixed in bolt/docs#349
