Unable to install Core on windows

[dipyalov]

Composer has errors to report:

I think, this path is definitely longer than 256 characters, so this might cause issues on Windows

[Gert-dev]

Indeed, that's a very long path. The path in the error seems to be a path that isn't used at runtime (the file is loaded from the src directory instead). The path used by the core is around 160 characters here:

/home/some_user/.atom/packages/php-integrator-base/core/3.0.0/src/Indexing/Structures/Mapping/PhpIntegrator.Indexing.Structures.TraitTraitPrecedence.dcm.xml

It seems you are right in thinking that this is a path issue with Windows and Composer, but the issue seems to lie somewhat out of my control. (I could try to shorten the filenames, but I believe the naming of the metadata files is important for Doctrine to pick them up automatically.)

Could you try removing --prefer-dist in CoreManager.coffee from the base package and letting the core reinstall? Perhaps the issue can be solved by not using the archive downloads of the packages, but instead attempting to clone from Git. If that works, I could simply remove the option from the base package to work around the issue for Windows users.

[dipyalov]

Is there a way to reinstall core without reinstalling base?

[Gert-dev]

Yes, you can simply remove everything in the the core folder of the base package and then restart Atom. It should automatically attempt to redownload the core.

[dipyalov]

Removing --prefer-dist didn't help, but replacing it with --prefer-source seems to do the job.
But then the installation process stops on:

Composer has errors to report: Do you want to remove the existing VCS (.git, .svn..) history? [Y,n]? 

[dipyalov]

I'll try adding --no-interaction

[nahuelhds]

Hi. Just wanted to let you know that for me (Windows 10 64 bits user) worked fine by replacing --prefer-dist with --prefer-source and also adding --no-interaction as mentioned by @dipyalov

[dipyalov]

Yep, in the end it did install fine!

[jatubio]

Thank you all.

Replacing --prefer-dist with --prefer-source and also adding --no-interaction worked fine on Windows Server 2008 (x64) and Atom 1.19.0-beta4 x64

[Gert-dev]

Thanks for taking the time to debug this. I've published 3.0.1 that uses the options that work on Windows as well.

[Floeig]

Hello all,
I'm using the 3.0.1 but I still get the issue. So far it seems that it's not looking for the right git directory.
Any help?

this is what I tried after atom told me that it failed.
apm install php-integrator/core
Cloning https://github.com/php-integrator/core.git failed
Cloning git+ssh://git@github.com/php-integrator/core.git failed
Couldn't clone https://github.com/php-integrator/core.git or git+ssh://git@github.com/php-integrator/core.git

thanks you

@FlorianGirardEIG You can't use apm to install the core (anymore), that was only the case in an older version of the base package. You only need to install the base package and it will automatically download the core.

If the installation fails, errors should be listed in the developer tools.

If you wish to manually download the core, you can also install it via Composer in the right directory.
