TERMINUS_ROOT not set throws exception

[spiderwisp]

Expected behavior

Expect terminus to run using cygwin with php 5.5.28

Actual behavior

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Pantheon\Terminus\Exceptions\TerminusException' with message 'Could not locate root to set TERMINUS_ROOT.' in C:\cygwin64\home\wiz\terminus\src\Config\DefaultsConfig.php:70
Stack trace:
#0 C:\cygwin64\home\wiz\terminus\src\Config\DefaultsConfig.php(18): Pantheon\Terminus\Config\DefaultsConfig->getTerminusRoot()
#1 C:\cygwin64\home\wiz\terminus\bin\terminus(36): Pantheon\Terminus\Config\DefaultsConfig->__construct()
#2 {main}
  thrown in C:\cygwin64\home\wiz\terminus\src\Config\DefaultsConfig.php on line 70

Steps to reproduce the behavior

$ bin/terminus -vvv

@spiderwisp I cannot duplicate this issue. This occurs when Terminus cannot locate its own root directory because its composer.json file is missing. Is it possible that your copy's composer.json file was moved?

[spiderwisp]

I've triple-checked and my composer.json file is fine. I've replaced it several times with fresh copies. I'm facing this issue after getting around this issue #1443 (comment) which I did by using an older version of Terminus and php.

Experiencing the same issue.
The only warning I got during the installation as follows, not sure if that's applicable.

<warning>Skipped installation of bin bin/terminus.bat for package pantheon-systems/terminus: file not found in package</warning>

[TeslaDethray]

@makbeta terminus.bat was the autocomplete file for >Terminus 0.7. How did you install Terminus? Was it Homebrew?

[makbeta]

@TeslaDethray No, I'm on Windows and used the curl command to install Terminus, as mentioned in Pantheon Guide. I did have a Terminus v0.13 installed before that, but I first removed it with a composer command before installing a new one.

Confirming this issue

PHP 5.6.21
Attempted update from terminus v0.13
Installed via CURL from git bash (mintty) on Win 10 x64
Same warning regarding bin/terminus.bat

[danheisel]

Confirming the issue as well.

Clean install with PHP 5.6.21 on a Win 10 x64 machine. Followed the same steps for another machine that is working fine. The other machine was set up about two months ago.

[danheisel]

Rolling back to 0.13.5 at least allowed me to get Terminus going on this new machine without a hitch. I was receiving the errors with beta 2.

[dan-ddb]

I am experiencing the same error. I ran the installer which gave me beta 2. I am running php 7.0.15 and the error appears both in windows cmd.exe as well as git bash.

Windows Server 2012 (64bit)

Also received this error during installation:

Skipped installation of bin bin/terminus.bat for package pantheon-systems/terminus: file not found in package

Does anyone have step by step instructions for installing an older version of terminus via composer?

note: it appears the PHP function in question getTerminusRoot() is looking for directories separated by forward slash '/' and can't identify the windows directory structure properly.

[danheisel]

For me, I just pulled down 0.13.5 into a new folder and ran the composer install as normal from that new folder. All seems to be going fine now. I had installed alpha 2 on another laptop and it works perfectly fine.

[joshkoenig]

We likely need to use DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR when locating composer.json to determine the root:

terminus/src/Config/DefaultsConfig.php

Line 59 in c973f9c

if (file_exists("$current_dir/composer.json")) {

[tessak22]

@makbeta How did you resolve your error as I am also receiving the same error. I am on a new computer with literally no changes made so I am curious if I am missing some major installation or configuration.

Skipped installation of bin bin/terminus.bat for package pantheon-systems/terminus: file not found in package

[greg-1-anderson]

I don't believe you need DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR for file_exists(); PHP should convert filepaths for built-in commands. It is necessary when calling exec et. al.

Problem is probably somewhere else. Haven't tried to reproduce though.

[joshkoenig]

@greg-1-anderson PHP isn't so good if there are mixed sets of separators. User reported that hard-coding in a \ got it working.

@tessak22 - that terminus.bat warning should not prevent you from successfully using terminus. If we can reproduce it, we should create a separate lower-priority issue.

[makbeta]

@tessak22 I was not able to resolve the issue. Because I was pressed for time and have relatively few site on Pantheon, I just skipped the terminus approach and got things done via the FTP.

I am getting this error for a fresh install on MacOS Sierra v10.12.3.

@RoloDMonkey there are a few errors mentioned in this issue, so I'll assume you are referring to the lack of a TERMINUS_ROOT? The warning related to terminus.bat can be safely ignored.

@paulbooker The first warning can be ignored, the second warning is likely caused by an existing phar or symlink in /usr/local/bin, just make sure to remove it and you should be able to run the Symlink by hand:

ln -s /Users/paul/vendor/bin/terminus /usr/local/bin/terminus

Another possible cause is that /usr/local/bin is not writable by your user (which is true in Sierra by default I believe). You can either choose to strongarm the system and force writability, or choose to use another folder in your $PATH, the choice is yours.

[jmevalentin]

I get this error during installation:
- Installing pantheon-systems/terminus (1.0.0) Downloading: 100% <warning>Skipped installation of bin bin/terminus.bat for package pantheon-systems/terminus: file not found in package</warning> symfony/var-dumper suggests installing ext-symfony_debug ()

The section is the issue, and it repeats by itself at the end.

However, running "terminus" at the cli, I get a list of available commands.

[TeslaDethray]

The terminus.bat issue has been fixed and will be shipped with 1.0.1.
