bootstrap.php file is not calling after Extension is enabled

kunarola

I have created "hello world" extension. I was able to enable it from Administration Section as well. I have written below code in bootstrap.php file. I am trying to print $event object when post is saved. But it is never printed when user post any discussion. I have created "workbench" folder and added extension here. and run "composer update" command. What am i doing wrong here? Thanks.

use Flarum\Event\PostWillBeSaved;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher;

return function (Dispatcher $events) {
$events->listen(PostWillBeSaved::class, function (PostWillBeSaved $event) {
echo '<pre>';
print_r($event);
echo '</pre>';
exit;
$event->post->content = 'This is not what I wrote!';
});
};

luceos

kunarola is the "type" field in your extension composer.json having the value "flarum-extension"?

kunarola

luceos Yes its having "flarum-extension" value. Following is the composer.json file content.

{
    "name": "kunarola/flarum-hello-world",
    "description": "Say hello to the world!",
    "type": "flarum-extension",
    "require": {
        "flarum/core": "^0.1.0-beta.3"
    },
    "extra": {
        "flarum-extension": {
            "title": "Hello World",
            "icon": {
                "name": "star",
                "backgroundColor": "#ddd",
                "color": "#666"
            }
        }
    }
}

kunarola Did you add this to the require section in your composer.json?

"kunarola/flarum-hello-world": "@dev"

Add that line to the require section of your composer.json, if you haven't already

kunarola

Frink Yes i have written following line into composer.json file "kunarola/flarum-hello-world": "*@dev"

Felli

kunarola Should look something like this shouldn't it @luceos?

{
	"name": "kunarola/flarum-hello-world",
	"description": "Say hello to the world!",
	"type": "flarum-extension",
	"require": {
		"flarum/core": "0.1.0-beta.7"
	},
	"extra": {
		"branch-alias": {
			"dev-master": "0.1.x-dev"
		},
		"flarum-extension": {
			"title": "Hello World",
			"icon": {
				"name": "star",
				"backgroundColor": "#ddd",
				"color": "#666"
			}
		}
	}
}

kunarola

Felli I updated composer.json file and then I ran composer update command it throws below error.

Problem 1
- kunarola/flarum-hello-world dev-master requires flarum/core 0.1.0-beta.7 -> satisfiable by flarum/core[v0.1.0-beta.7].
- kunarola/flarum-hello-world 0.1.x-dev requires flarum/core 0.1.0-beta.7 -> satisfiable by flarum/core[v0.1.0-beta.7].
- kunarola/flarum-hello-world dev-master requires flarum/core 0.1.0-beta.7 -> satisfiable by flarum/core[v0.1.0-beta.7].
- Conclusion: don't install flarum/core v0.1.0-beta.7
- Installation request for kunarola/flarum-hello-world *@dev -> satisfiable by kunarola/flarum-hello-world[dev-master, 0.1.x-dev].

kunarola

Felli Now it is not throwing any error. But its not printing $event object. I have echoed $event object in bootstrap.php file of my extension

luceos

Felli that is incorrect when using workbench. @dev is a perfectly valid constraint as it loads the package from the workbench directory. If you use a stable constraint like you suggest, it will ignore the workbench completely and simply download the latest package, this makes development very hard because you would need to run composer updates on every (committed) change; we don't need that added layer of complexity.

kunarola once you've reset the constraint to @dev and you ran composer update can you check the output of ls -la vendor/kunarola/? It should show a symlink.

kunarola

luceos Yes it displays symlink in vendor folder but $event object is not getting printed when i post any discussion. I wrote exit after print_r($event) in bootstrap file. Below is the content of bootstrap.php

use Flarum\Event\PostWillBeSaved;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher;

return function (Dispatcher $events) {
    $events->listen(PostWillBeSaved::class, function (PostWillBeSaved $event) {
        echo '<pre>';
        print_r($event);
        echo '</pre>';
        exit;
        $event->post->content = 'This is not what I wrote!';
    });
};

luceos

Use tripple backticks above and under your code to format it properly.

Can you put a dd('foo'); inside the function? And see if that shows up on your forum?

kunarola

luceos No luck! ?

luceos

Can you post the path of your bootstrap file related to the flarum installation directory.

kunarola

luceos Yes the path of my flarum extension's bootstrap.php file is \workbench\flarum-hello-world\bootstrap.php

luceos

Did you enable your extension in the admin area?

kunarola

luceos Yes i enabled extension in the admin area. But its still not printing object on post discussion

"require": {
        "flarum/core": "^0.1.0-beta.3"
    },

Wat ?
