PHP's phar extension is missing

[maechler]

I recently updated actions/checkout@v3 to actions/checkout@v4 and started getting the following error:

Run tomasnorre/typo3-upload-ter@v2
  with:
    api-token: ***
    php-version: 8.3

Preparing git configuration (safe.directory)

Preparing upload of release v3.0.1 to TER

PHP's phar extension is missing. Composer requires it to run. Enable the extension or recompile php without --disable-phar then try again.

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function Symfony\Polyfill\Mbstring\iconv() in /root/.composer/vendor/symfony/polyfill-mbstring/Mbstring.php:130
Stack trace:

This is my configuration:

name: TER Upload
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - "**"
jobs:
  TERUpload:
    runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Upload to TER
        uses: tomasnorre/typo3-upload-ter@v2
        with:
          api-token: ${{ secrets.TYPO3_API_TOKEN }}

I haven't used the TER upload in over a year, so it could also be related to something else than the GitHub actions version.

Do you know what this could be? Do we maybe just have to add the phar extension to the Dockerfile?

[tomasnorre]

Thanks for reporting the issue. How do you composer prepare-release step looks like in your composer.json?

[maechler]

Thanks for your quick reply! It's simply using some shell commands and looks like this:
https://github.com/bithost-gmbh/pdfviewhelpers/blob/4bd4d10d7185523bc4b6e5bd256bc4a5ecf339dc/composer.json#L61-L78

[tomasnorre]

Thanks. Will have to check it out. Don't see at first glace, why you should need phar. But will look into it.

[tomasnorre]

I think the FATAL is more the problem than the phar missing.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function Symfony\Polyfill\Mbstring\iconv()

Currently I cannot test locally as the composer prepare-release fails.

[tomasnorre]

I have created a new release v2.2.0 which includes php-mbstring. Please test that. I expect it to work.

[maechler]

@tomasnorre Thanks for checking this so quickly! The fatal error is gone now, but it's still not working:

Preparing upload of release v3.0.2 to TER

Maybe this is related to actions/checkout@v4? Have you already successfully run it with v4?

I will have to check the prepare-release script, I haven't used it in over a year and it seems broken, thanks! However I think the error is unrelated to this, as their should still be the rest of the extension to be uploaded.

[tomasnorre]

I haven't had a successful run yet, but using actions/checkout@v4 https://github.com/tomasnorre/crawler/blob/main/.github/workflows/Deploy.yml

I know there have been some issues with the TER.

And haven't heard it's working yet. I think the next issue is related to TER, but not sure.
Will keep this issue open till we are sure.

[maechler]

@tomasnorre Thanks for showing me this, I'll have an eye on it! ..and thanks for your extension!

[tomasnorre]

I still think it's related to the problems with the TER linked above. But I'll be looking into it.

Just for reference TYPO3/tailor#82

No complaint, just a followup that the error is still present. See https://github.com/evoWeb/sf_register/actions/runs/13552074913/job/37877878770

I know. it's not in the GitHub Action that the problem lies, but in tailor it self.
