wrong autoload location if installed with composer

[yurii-github]

when installed with composer you get error
" Error: I cannot find the autoloader of the application. "

This is because of subdirectory of zendframework. It can be resovled by adding 1 dirname to zf.php (line 17) :

$basePath = dirname(dirname(dirname($basePath)));

I'm checking this issue and testing the possibility to use the bin options of composer to manage the zf.php. See the PR #20. I will update this issue asap.

I've the same error, but it seems that it check the good directory. I've install with composer.

~/application/vendor/zendframework/zftool$ ./zf.php modules list
Error: I cannot find the autoloader of the application.

[Lohoris]

I have encountered the same error, and that fix didn't work for me.

[gabel]

I had the same issue installing the sceleton via git clone and then add zftool via composer.

If i move the zftool directly into vendor the tooling works fine.

• not working (default directory via composer installation)
  vendor/zendframework/zftool
• working
  vendor/zftool

Heya, am I correct in following that this is still not resolved?

It's certainly still the case with my own zftool install.

Same issue for me, and I can't seem to create the phar either:

[noose]

Please Ignore commit a27e238 ;-)

[webzellent]

Thank you :-)

[MarcusReimann]

The solution from noose is correct.

[ezimuel]

I merged the PR #31 that seems to fix the issue.

[pawlik]

Is there a way to check how deep zf.php is installed? After installing with composer it 'thinks' base dir is APPDIR/vendor and can't find any modules...

This fix is not right - it allows zftool to ignore the fact that baseDir is set for APPDIR/vendor and then it silently fails because no modules are visible.

[yurii-github]

my bad i didn't provide a solution, last time i've just added 1 more dirname() and forget about it.

right now i don't use zend right now, so my vision for fix is virtual

so, I see we may replace this part of code (from line 14 zf.php)

$basePath = __DIR__;
if (file_exists("$basePath/vendor/autoload.php")) {
    require_once "$basePath/vendor/autoload.php";
} else {
    $basePath = dirname(dirname($basePath));
    chdir($basePath);
    if (file_exists("init_autoloader.php")) {
        require_once "init_autoloader.php";
    } elseif (file_exists("vendor/autoload.php")) {
        require_once "vendor/autoload.php";
    } elseif (file_exists("autoload.php")) {
        require_once "autoload.php";
    } else {
        echo 'Error: I cannot find the autoloader of the application.' . PHP_EOL;
        echo "Check if $basePath contains a valid ZF2 application." . PHP_EOL;
        exit(2);
    }
}

with this

$basePath = __DIR__;
try {               
    $base_dirs = array(__DIR__, dirname(dirname($__DIR__)), dirname(dirname(dirname($__DIR__))));   //possible dirs     
    $files = array("vendor/autoload.php", "init_autoloader.php", "autoload.php", ); //possible autoload files       
    $exists = false;
    foreach($base_dirs as $bd) {
        foreach($files as $f) {
            if (file_exists($bd . "/$f)) {
                chdir($bd); //fallback
                $basePath = $bd;                    
                require_once $bd . "/$f";
                $exists = true;
                break 2;
            }
        }
    }

    if(!$exists) {
        throw new Exception('Error: I cannot find the autoloader of the application.' . PHP_EOL . "Check if $basePath contains a valid ZF2 application." . PHP_EOL ,2);
    }

} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
    exit($e->getCode());
}

as for me, it is easier to get vision of the logic

[cdekok]

Yes can this be reopened still not work

[tapankumar]

Hi..

I am still facing the same issue after downloading latest zftool.

Is this already fixed?

[ericmorand]

I had to create a symlink of vendor/bin/zf.php into my application folder, and then call "php zf.php" from there, to have it work properly.

A fix would be welcome.

[robbestad]

Yes, doesn't work for me either through composer. Changed
$basePath=getcwd(); to $basePath=getcwd()."/../../../"; to get it working. Of course, that assumes zftools is in vendor/zendframework/zftool

[tasmaniski]

Still not working ...
(^ even with the above solution)

[altdprogrammer]

Yurii's code worked for me after I removed the $ from the __DIR__. Modified code is as follows

$basePath = __DIR__;
try {               
    $base_dirs = array(__DIR__, dirname(dirname(__DIR__)), dirname(dirname(dirname(__DIR__))));   //possible dirs     
    $files = array("vendor/autoload.php", "init_autoloader.php", "autoload.php", ); //possible autoload files       
    $exists = false;
    foreach($base_dirs as $bd) {
        foreach($files as $f) {
            if (file_exists($bd . "/$f")) {
                chdir($bd); //fallback
                $basePath = $bd;                    
                require_once $bd . "/$f";
                $exists = true;
                break 2;
            }
        }
    }

    if(!$exists) {
        throw new Exception('Error: I cannot find the autoloader of the application.' . PHP_EOL . "Check if $basePath contains a valid ZF2 application." . PHP_EOL ,2);
    }

} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
    exit($e->getCode());
}

[speermahi]

I update zf.php as follows

$basePath = getcwd(); -> points to vendor/bin folder 
ini_set('user_agent', 'ZFTool - Zend Framework 2 command line tool');

// load autoloader -> swap $basePath with "../../"
if (file_exists("../../vendor/autoload.php")) {    
    require_once "../../vendor/autoload.php";
} elseif (file_exists("../../init_autoload.php")) {    // swap $basePath with "../../"
    require_once "../../init_autoload.php";

[freeentr]

The zf.php should be installed into the vendor/ZFTool directory (relative to your project root) - however, the command needs to be run from your project root in order for it to work correctly.

http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.3/en/modules/zendtool.introduction.html

[lubyshev]

Just run ZF from root dir:

$ php ./vendor/zendframework/zftool/zf.php modules list
