Snipeit 8.0.0 installation throwing Undefined constant "Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\STDIN"

[prbt2016]

Hello,

I was in the process of manual installation of SnipeIT on AlmaLinux release 8.10 with
PHP 8.2, MYSQL 5.7, Apache 2.4 .

I used the following steps :

1. Download Snipeit from https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/archive/refs/tags/v8.0.0.zip
2. Install composer in the project directory i.e curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
3. Run php composer.phar install --no-dev inside the project directory.
4. Rename .env.example to .env and fill database , URL details
5. Run php artisan key:generate to generate APP_KEY in .env file.
6. Run php artisan migrate to populate db tables.
7. Visit http://{{URL}}/{{TO}}/{{SNIPEIT}}/public/setup
8. On clicking 'Next Create Database user tables' following error is thrown i.e :500 server error
9. To debug I set APP_DEBUG=true in .env file and re-ran whole above process again
10. Following error is thrown i.e Undefined constant "Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\STDIN". Have attached screenshot of the same :

On refreshing the page i get 'Your database tables have been created' and able to proceed further.

Could you please replicate this at your end ?.

Well that's a new one. I can't currently reproduce it, but we do use Alma for (most of) our hosted servers.

If you add the following to your index.php file in the public directory, does that work?

if(! defined('STDIN')) define('STDIN', fopen("php://stdin","r"));

Some related things I've found, just for reference:

• https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/l5-call-artisan-command-from-a-controller
• https://larachat.co/articles/the-problem-behind-undefined-constant-amp039stdinamp039-when-runnin

It looks like running artisan with the --force flag handles this, but I don't think we do that within the code (because we don't normally have to.)

This is because Laravel will try to prompt for confirmation if the application is running in the production environment. While doing so, the Symfony/Console component will use the build-in STDIN constant to capture the input stream. And that constant is only available in the CLI environment.

I think the passport:install command has somehow 'gained' interactivity, when it didn't have it before.

So we never had to say --force or anything like that in the past, because it never asked any questions on STDIN. But, apparently, now it does.

So I think we can add the flag: --no-interaction to the passport:install command it and should "Just Work™".

Hello @uberbrady ,

The fix works fine . I have tested it.

But it isn't added to SnipeIT 8.0.1 release zip https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/archive/refs/tags/v8.0.1.zip and got same error on installation.

It's on master branch bce2007

Any ETA for the same ?

[uberbrady]

It should be in 8.0.2

Thanks 👍 . Checked with 8.0.2 and works fine now.

Regards.
