How to fix Cavalcade?

[photocurio]

I am running a version of Altis+Chassis+Wordpress. There is an issue with the Cavalcade module: it throws errors when I have the dubugger open. See screenshot.

I am assuming Cavalcade is a dependency of one of the Altis modules. How do I fix this and confirm that Cavalcade is doing whatever it is supposed to do?
This is the Altis part of my composer.json file:

"require-dev": {
        "altis/core": "dev-master",
        "altis/local-chassis": "dev-master",
        "altis/dev-tools": "dev-master",
        "humanmade/coding-standards": "^0.7.0"
    },
    "autoload-dev": {
        "files": []
    },
    "extra": {
        "installer-paths": {
            "content/plugins/{$name}/": [
                "type:wordpress-plugin"
            ],
            "content/mu-plugins/{$name}": [
                "type:wordpress-muplugin"
            ],
            "content/themes/{$name}/": [
                "type:wordpress-theme"
            ]
        },
        "altis": {
            "modules": {
                "local-chassis": {
                    "hosts": [
                        "fresenius.local"
                    ],
                    "multisite": "Yes",
                    "extensions": [
                        "sequelpro",
                        "xdebug",
                        "memcache",
                        "phpini"
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }

Hi @photocurio!

This error is being thrown by a different process to your web process. altis/local-chassis includes the Cavalcade daemon (Cavalcade Runner) which runs as a system service. This expects the project to have Cavalcade (the WordPress plugin) installed, which would create the required database tables for you.

As I understand your setup from talking to the relevant team, you're not using Cavalcade. That's fine, it just means there's an unnecessary service running inside the Chassis VM. That isn't linked to your project, and the error is benign (it just means the service can't launch).

If you want to avoid that error regardless, you can SSH into the machine and stop the service: first composer chassis shell, then sudo service cavalcade stop.

This isn't generally an issue with Cavalcade though, but rather with Altis Local Chassis (and its use outside of a full Altis setup; altis/cloud would usually include Cavalcade). Going to close this issue as it's not a bug, but happy to answer any further questions :)

OK, thanks Ryan.
