Extended development issues

l25359423

I wrote an extension that worked locally, and I tried to put it into production

So I copied the entire extension file directly to the server, and here is my composer. Json configuration, production and local environment is the same path:
"repositories": [{ "type": "path", "url": "~/workspace/composer_packages/*" }]

I can also start it in the background of Flarum, but the permission Settings are not loaded, so I debug admin.js and find that the console does not output the log I printed

Then I var_dump(' 222 ') in extend.php; die;

Then the cache is deleted and the page is refreshed without any response

Does anyone know what went wrong? I don't know where to start.

l25359423 try moving the workspace directory into the flarum root directory, updating the repositories entry to match (removing tilde) and running composer dumpautoload.

For the webserver home isn't your user home but the user the site runs as, in addition many servers disallow including files outside the web root.

I built the extension from documentation
https://docs.flarum.org/extend/start

Then through
composer require shuke/daily-music @dev
Ongoing installation

I wonder if I don't need to move the file to the flarum root directory

luceos

l25359423 have you published your extension on packagist?

l25359423

luceos
Not published. This is a local extension directory, not a packagelist

l25359423

luceos
I installed the local extension according to the commands in the documentation
https://docs.flarum.org/extend/start#installing-your-extension

l25359423

luceos
I perform
composer require shuke/daily-music @dev

The installation was successful, I could find it under vendor, and I could also start it in the website management background, but it did not meet my expectation after it was started. I tried debugging, and found that vendor/shueke/daily-music/extend.php was not executed.

But in my local extension everything is fine

luceos

l25359423 did you write the extension on Windows?

Edit; can you share the directory and file structure of you extension?

l25359423

luceos
I was originally building the extension on mac and then scp to the ubuntu server

Then I installed it through composer and found that it did not take effect after startup.

Then I built one with flarum-cli init directly from ubuntu, then installed it through composer, and found that extend.php was not executed either

l25359423

luceos
I submitted the extension to github
https://github.com/l25359423/flarum-daily-music

l25359423

luceos
I don't think it's a problem with the extension itself, because even if I recreated a new extension with nothing in it, just a simple hello world, it still doesn't work

luceos

l25359423 inside composer.json the name is shuke/daily-music, but I cannot find this package on packagist: https://packagist.org/?query=shuke%2Fdaily-music. So using composer require shuke/daily-music should not do anything.

I think you understand it wrong, this package is indeed not in packagelist.org, this extension is on my server, I told it through the command composer composer config repositories.0 path "packages/*" in https://docs.flarum.org/extend/start#extension-packaging composer package in my local

l25359423

luceos
composer really can't find this package in packagelist.org, but I found it locally, because I configured the local path in composer.json, so I installed it successfully

luceos

l25359423 ah I see. Is opcache enabled on the server by any chance?

l25359423

luceos
yes i can enable opcache, i found it in php.ini but i haven't used opcache much

luceos

l25359423 okay let's recap:

you can install it using composer
you do see it inside the admin area of your flarum installation
you can enable the extension in said admin area
when refreshing the page the extension is still listed as enabled
nothing from the extend.php is executed?

l25359423

luceos
Yes! My English is poor, but you understand it very well!

luceos

l25359423 no, don't enable opcache for now. You would need to restart your apache/fpm whenever you make code changes.

Can you confirm your database has a table daily_music now? Which would imply the extension is enabled and running migrations properly?

l25359423

luceos
I have executed php flarum migrate, the table already has

l25359423

luceos
Although the extension is successfully installed, it seems that my extension is not loaded. I don't quite understand the loading mechanism of the extension, so I don't know how to debug it. Is it related to the cache? Or am I missing a step?
