error: Hooks handler command not found: dredd-hooks-php

[bkuhl]

Dredd version: 2.2.3
Dredd-hooks-php version: 1.1.5

Command: dredd /var/www/html/resources/docs/api-documentation.apib http://web/api/v1 --level=debug --language dredd-hooks-php --hookfiles /var/www/html/resources/dredd-hooks.php

The error error: Hooks handler command not found: dredd-hooks-php is always present. I've retracted my steps and am not able to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Is this version compatible with 2.2.3?

@bkuhl dredd has a whitelist of --languages it supports and if it doesn't recognize it, it will attempt to run the shell command.

So either switch it to --language php or specify the whole path.

If that doesn't work reopen this issue.

[bkuhl]

The usage instructions indicate to use dredd-hooks-php.

Switching to use just php the output now shows:

Install php hooks handler by running:
$ composer require ddelnano/dredd-hooks-php --dev

However I already have the package installed:

    "require-dev": {
        "fzaninotto/faker": "~1.4",
        "phpunit/phpunit": "~5.0",
        "vluzrmos/tinker": "^1.1",
        "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "^2.2",
        "squizlabs/php_codesniffer": "^2.6",
        "ddelnano/dredd-hooks-php": "^1.1",
        "mockery/mockery": "^0.9.5",
        "doctrine/dbal": "^2.5"
    },

Where are your composer packages installed?

[ddelnano]

I will update the instructions to be correct but the php language flag should look in vendor/bin/dredd-php-hooks so if you have a local composer install it should just work.

[bkuhl]

I'm running dredd in it's own Docker container and the working directory in that container was not the same directory where my vendor is which appears to be the cause of the problem.

Thanks for this package, it's pretty sweet :)

[ddelnano]

No problem, glad you find it useful.

[bkuhl]

Still having issues with it not recognizing composer is installed. I'm actually running dredd inside of a docker container where I have my application mounted. Within the dredd container I can show that vendor is accessible in the default directory:

docker-compose run --rm dredd ls -latr vendor/ddelnano

drwxr-xr-x 42 root root 1428 Nov  4 12:50 ..

I'm running dredd relative to the root directory with the command:

docker-compose run --rm dredd dredd resources/docs/api-documentation.apib http://web/api/v1 --level=debug --language php --hookfiles resources/dredd-hooks.php

But I still see the error in the output:

error: PHP hooks handler command not found: dredd-hooks-php
Install php hooks handler by running:
$ composer require ddelnano/dredd-hooks-php --dev

It looks like dredd is providing the instructions on how to install this hooks handler as I can't find anywhere in the source for this package where those instructions are included. Am I correct?

[ddelnano]

What is installed inside your docker container, do you have php? Also I would recommend overriding the entrypoint of your container so you can get a shell and play around with the dredd command inside the container and try and launch the hooks server yourself to see why exactly its not finding the command in your current working directory.

[ddelnano]

Here is the error you are seeing so if you get a shell inside the dredd container and can't get which dredd-hooks-php to execute successfully the problem will still exist.

[bkuhl]

For me, I realized PHP wasn't installed on the Dredd container.

[ddelnano]

Yea in a docker environment it actually might make sense to have separate containers for the dredd hooks and dredd itself.

[ddelnano]

Like the application and the dredd hooks would live in a php container with apache / nginx / etc. And the dredd container would just need node.
