Install fails with a missing class

[omnicolor]

With a brand new repository, trying to run ./vendor/bin/captainhook install fails with a missing class if you haven't done the configure step:

Using the non-.phar version tells the user to create the configuration file instead of dying.

What PHP version are you running?

[omnicolor]

$ php -v
PHP 8.3.9 (cli) (built: Jul  5 2024 12:03:46) (NTS)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.3.9, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

Could you run php --info | grep intl and check if your php is compiled with '--enable-intl'

or you see lines like

intl
intl.default_locale => no value => no value
intl.error_level => 0 => 0
intl.use_exceptions => Off => Off

[sebastianfeldmann]

My guess is, that your PHP comes without INTL extension and then the Symphony intl-polyfill should kick in. But since all Symfony classes get scoped the Normalizer gets scoped as well to Captainhook\Phar\Normalizer so the class Normalizer can't be found.

If you can confirm you do not have the intl extension I will try to figure out how I can solve the problem.

[omnicolor]

Yes, you're correct, my PHP doesn't have the intl extension.

Can you give the PHAR file from this beta release page a try?
https://github.com/captainhookphp/captainhook/releases/tag/5.23.4-beta

[omnicolor]

I'm not sure what's going on now, but the link on that release page seems a bit weird, showing the same version I got with composer require --dev captainhook/captainhook-phar:

$ wget --quiet https://github.com/captainhookphp/captainhook/releases/download/5.23.4-beta/captainhook.phar
$ php ./captainhook.phar --version
CaptainHook version 5.23.3 2024-07-07 #StandWithUkraine
$ ./vendor/bin/captainhook --version
CaptainHook version 5.23.3 2024-07-07 #StandWithUkraine
$ php ./captainhook.phar install
