"Cannot write phar to ..." error

[mpdude]

I have a problem downloading humbug/box. I noticed it because a CI job that only runs every few months now fails.

$ cat phive.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phive xmlns="https://phar.io/phive">
  <phar name="humbug/box" version="^3.8.4" installed="3.8.4" location="./tools/box" copy="false"/>
</phive>

To replicate the issue I have on CI, remove the cache dir:

$ rm -rf ~/.phive

Now run phive:

$ phive install --force-accept-unsigned

[ERROR]    Cannot write phar to /home/vagrant/.phive/phars/humbug

I can fix that by creating the directory myself:

$ mkdir -p /home/vagrant/.phive/phars/humbug
$ phive install --force-accept-unsigned

Nice catch. That seems to be a perfect example of a regression for not having directories auto-created anymore ;)

Fix coming up.
