Is lib-ICU working ?

[jdespatis]

I'm trying to install symfony-standard but runs into trouble, as reported here:
https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard/issues/552

The fact is https://github.com/symfony/Icu uses the new option from composer alpha7: lib-ICU, but the check of this library installed doesn't seem to work on my system despite libicu 4.8.1 installed on it

Here is the output of my dpkg (Running Ubuntu 12.10 64bits)

jerome@poseidon:/$ dpkg -l |grep -i icu
ii  libicu-dev                            4.8.1.1-8                                 amd64        Development files for International Components for Unicode
ii  libicu48:amd64                        4.8.1.1-8                                 amd64        International Components for Unicode

Same here. Here is the output of my dpkg (running Ubuntu 13.04 64bits):

> dpkg -l |grep -i icu
ii  libicu-dev                                4.8.1.1-12                             amd64        Development files for International Components for Unicode
ii  libicu48:amd64                            4.8.1.1-12                             amd64        International Components for Unicode

lib-ICU is only present if you have the php intl extension (which uses libicu and exposes it to php). Check php -m | grep intl, if it outputs nothing there's your problem.

[gnugat]

yep, that pretty much solved it, thanks!

[jdespatis]

Thanks, it now works

Not so obvious however to understand that php5-intl is needed, with an error talking only about lib-icu :)

[Seldaek]

The error does end with "make sure to load the extension providing it",
but anyway I modified the output so it clearly talks about the intl
extension when ICU is missing.

[jdespatis]

Nice, thanks

There seems to be a problem with how the versions are being checked, as I am getting the following error when deploying to a mac which has version 51.2 of lib-icu installed:

http://cl.ly/TI2E

When I check to see if intl is installed I get:

http://cl.ly/TI1Y

So everything seems present and correct, and from my research, 51.2 is definitely newer than 4.0

[Seldaek]

@frak can you paste the output of composer show -p lib-icu? Maybe it's not detected properly, or it doesn't report the correct version.

[frak]

@Seldaek This is what I get:

munkini:media mikey$ ./composer.phar show -p lib-icu
name     : lib-ICU
descrip. : The ICU PHP library
keywords :
versions : * 51.2
type     : library
license  :
source   : []
dist     : []
names    : lib-icu

[Seldaek]

Strange, 51.2 should definitely satisfy >=4.4. Care to share the composer.json so I can try to reproduce?

[frak]

@Seldaek sure thing: http://pastebin.com/d1Qi0Bzt

(I recently upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3, so I hope I got everything right when I switched)

[frak]

@Seldaek actually, can you try this one as I fixed a lot of things I was in the middle of before I noticed this error: http://pastebin.com/Zh5eMfyQ

[Seldaek]

OK so I am still quite confused about this, can't reproduce using your last pastebin:

$ c show -p lib-icu
name     : lib-ICU
descrip. : The ICU PHP library
keywords :
versions : * 51.2
type     : library
license  :
source   : []
dist     : []
names    : lib-icu

$ c up --dry-run

Very strange - and you are running this on a Mac with the MacPorts version of ICU?

[Seldaek]

Nope I'm running on windows and I hacked the ICU version in composer to be 51.2 just to see if it was a composer version handling bug. Seems it's not so maybe something else is at play on your machine.

[frak]

The error message that composer gives seems to imply that it doesn't even recognise that it is lib-icu - the text is the error that comes from line 99 of Problem.php, indicating that false was returned on line 93 - so in this case I don't think that the version of ICU is the problem...

[Seldaek]

Meh yes that's true, very very weird. And you are sure you run the latest composer version?

[frak]

I specifically got the latest version to perform this test, to rule that out as an issue…

OK, so it does seem like something else is at play. When I run composer on the mac I am deploying to there are no problems, but when I use Capifony it fails - it seems very odd as the error is coming directly from Composer:

http://cl.ly/TRzf

Anyway, I shall have a look around now to see if any others have had this problem with Capifony...

[Seldaek]

Ah ha, sounds like capifony isn't loading the right php or the right ini file then.

[frak]

Thanks for the tip - I just made a check:

munkini:media mikey$ which php
/opt/local/bin/php
munkini:media mikey$ sudo su -
munkini:~ root# which php
/usr/bin/php

This I can fix - thanks for your help :)
