Fatal error: Uncaught League\Uri\PublicSuffix\Exception

#13 #8

I think this issue is related to the league/uri-components version.

When command composer require mallardduck/whois-client , it will get the version 1.8.2, but actually the lower version 1.7.1 works well.

so could you please fix this version from composer ?

I recall we discussed this already in #13 as well, however when I provided you with debugging steps I didn't get any feedback. If you can find a solution for this I'd be more than happy to accept a PR that fixes this.

At this point though I believe this is not an issue I can resolve because a) it's in an upstream dependency, b) I have never been able to recreate it to debug it myself, and c) it could also be a system environment issue.

could you please kindly tell me your current os and php version to work well with this whois-client, I try many times online with my centos 7 and php7.2, these errors reproduce for me

I have successfully used this in the following setups:

• Arch Linux
  • PHP 5.6 (no longer supported tho)
  • PHP 7.0 (same)
  • PHP 7.1
  • PHP 7.2
  • PHP 7.3
• Ubuntu
  • PHP 7.1
  • PHP 7.2
• CentOS 7 (WHM & cPanel)
  • PHP 7.0 (no longer supported)
  • PHP 7.1
  • PHP 7.2

Also, the repo has automated testing running on Ubuntu Trusty with 7.1 and 7.2 and includes full code coverage. You can review the commit history and dive into Scrutinizer, Coveralls, or even Codecov.

@erichuang2015 Have you made any progress in debugging the issue on your end?

If you do believe the issue is related to the version change for league/uri-components, then it's likely that if there is a bug then it's in that package (or one of it's dependencies).

However, the specific package throwing the Exception you're seeing is actually thephpleague/uri-hostname-parser, who's version used doesn't change at all in uri-components from 1.7.1 to 1.8.1 - so I find it highly unlikely that the issue is related to this version change.

Closing due to inactivity.

For reference I believe this is a permissions problem. thephpleague/uri-hostname-parser tries to write a cache file in your vendor directory. Specifically uri-hostname-parser/data by default. When it can't write to the directory it throws the misleading exception about not being able to get the SuffixList.

@Ascerta Thank you for the insight - that certainly seems to be a reasonable explanation. Looking over things further that makes a lot more sense too. Maybe someone can push a PR to thephpleague to update the Exception message to be more clear.

It should really say 'unable to refresh', instead of 'unable to load' - as the Exception will be thrown due to network errors, disk errors, and permission errors. Or even better maybe instead of returning false on permission issues their FileCache could throw an exception.
