Automatically remove existing core folder on core installation

Atom can't install core without Composer.

Project directory C:/Users/Programação/.atom/packages/php-integrator-base/core/3.0.0/ is not empty.

Try this:

1. Remove the php-integrator packages (delete their directories / use apm uninstall / through Atom)
2. Clear your composer cache: composer clear-cache
3. Install php-integrator packages again

That solved broken installations for me 👍

[kevingobert]

I have the same worries. I tried your solution it didn't work for me

[mdeboer]

Did you get the same error?

[tjapro]

@mdeboer:
I have done what you suggests, but I got the same message.
I am installing the php-integrator-base without Composer.

Error message:

Composer has errors to report: Installing php-integrator/core (3.0.0)

  Project directory C:/Users/Programação/.atom/packages/php-integrator-base/core/3.0.0/ is not empty.  

[mdeboer]

Ah right, well afaik you need composer as much as you need PHP to run this. Why don't you install composer?

[Talv]

He doesn't directly needs it. As fas as I can see php-integrator is downloading its own copy during installation. Also not sure if composer clear-cache is really needed in this case, but surely won't hurt.
What he clearly missed is step 1 from your guide.

@TJProgrammer
Composer won't install package to non-empty directory. So just wipe this directory C:/Users/Programação/.atom/packages/php-integrator-base/core/3.0.0/. And attempt installation again. But if it failed once, it will likely fail again if you don't find root cause. Because the fact that this directory is not empty says composer failed its previous installation due to some error that you must find and address.

[tjapro]

@mdeboer : From php integrator wiki (https://github.com/php-integrator/atom-base/wiki/Help!-It-Doesn't-Work!):

You don't actually require Composer to install the core, it is downloaded and installed into a temporary folder automatically by the base package.

@Talv: I will try what you said. EDIT: Don't work.

[kevingobert]

I had a similar error. I updated composer and added the composer.json (https://gitlab.com/php-integrator/core/blob/development/composer.json) in the /core file and it works for me

[Gert-dev]

@Talv is correct, Composer is not actually required to be installed. It is automatically set up during installation of the core, see also the wiki.

Nonetheless I'm going to mark this as bug as I'm going to try and automatically remove the existing folder if it already exists.

Currently if the Composer core setup fails, the folder lingers around and the next installation it will complain about it not being empty.
