The website encountered an unexpected error. Try again later.

I had quite a few issues when starting the Launch Drupal CMS.exe.
I now run without any Antivirus or Firewall just to get things running.
I am also executing the Launch Drupal CMS.exe with “Run as Administrator”

OS: Windows 11

At the “Get started” screen I choose skip this step
I name my site “Test Site”
Set an Administrator user and password

I get a big Error on the screen and the following message.

Error message

I only get the install error once if I restart the service I do not get it.
Any ideas on how to "Fix" the status error ?
Thank you
Peter
PS. I think this is a really great idea and will be a fantastic prototyping tool.

[phenaproxima]

Thanks for this detailed bug report!

That's several issues, so let me address them one at a time.

1. Why do you need to disable antivirus? Do you get a warning or error when you try to run the program with it enabled? We code signed the app in order to allow it to run without needing these kinds of things, so I'm curious what happens with antivirus on.
2. The firewall thing is interesting. The launcher does start a local web server (it has to, that's in the nature of Drupal), and therefore it makes sense that the firewall would want to block outside internet connections, but I'm wondering if there's some way to make it not complain about that, since the server should only respond to localhost (i.e., you). Is there an error that you get with the firewall enabled? If so, what is it?
3. The readlink error is a quasi-known thing, I think. The problem is that Drush (included with Drupal CMS) includes a Unix-type symlink in its codebase, and that apparently doesn't work on Windows (not surprisingly). In certain situations Drupal will try to scan the codebase for symlinks, especially when preparing to do package operations like Project Browser or Automatic Updates - and this appears to be when it's breaking for you. The thing to do is probably ask the Composer Stager maintainer to address it if possible (cc @TravisCarden), but as a temporary workaround, you could delete the offending file outright (C:/Users/Peter/Documents/drupal/vendor/drush/drush/docs/contribute/CONTRIBUTING.md). If an upstream fix isn't forthcoming, then we could try putting that same workaround in the launcher's code base (always deleting that file if it exists) as a kludge.

[TravisCarden]

Yes, thanks for the detailed report, @22ka! Re @phenaproxima's #3, you may have discovered a bug in Composer Stager. You're running into a scenario that should be impossible, but I can see exactly where a problem could theoretically reside. If you can make the following change to C:\Users\Peter\Documents\drupal\vendor\php-tuf\composer-stager\src\Internal\Filesystem\Service\Filesystem.php, try again and paste the error message you get here, I should be able to tell you, and we can open an issue against Composer Stager to fix it.

@phenaproxima, supposing this is a bug in Composer Stager and I fix it, it won't ultimately fix the problem here. As you know, symlinks are forbidden on Windows, so the precondition system will throw an exception on this file anyway. Are you passing this known symlink as an exclusion?

[22ka]

My antivirus (avast) controls the windows firewall. It is easer to just disable everything.
When I have the firewall and antivirus running all that happens when I first run the “Launch Drupal CMS” is the folder \drupal\web\profiles\drupal_cms_installer is created with some files in and that is it.
Launch Drupal CMS keeps running, It is using about 1% CPU however there is no network usage and no disc usage.
All I get on the screen is “Installing...” This might take a minute.
( I gave up after 15 minutes of checking the Drupal folders.)

I have tried adding the Launch Drupal CMS as an allowed APP in the firewall via Avast but it does not seem to make any
difference. ( It should but that is an avast bug not a Launch Drupal CMS bug.)
I still need to try and add it directly into the Windows firewall.

If I have the firewall running then I get all kinds of other errors when trying to use the Drupal instance.
These other errors disappear when I turn off the firewall. So it is definitely the firewall that is causing the other problems.

However the errors I have listed happen when the firewall is not running.
As far as I have tested most other functions appear to be working. Except for the status issue.

@TravisCarden I will try the edit and get back to you.
Thank you

[phenaproxima]

@TravisCarden We are not treating it as a known exclusion, no. I'm not sure we should, as the presence of this symlink is a quirk of Drush. It might just be worth removing the symlink from Drush's code base, if possible, or making it a not-symlink. Or, as a workaround, we can actively delete it from code bases the launcher spins up.

[phenaproxima]

@22ka, thanks for those details. The launcher itself is not doing any kind of network stuff; it just calls on other programs (bundled with it) to do those things.

I guess a possibility here is to research what it might take to convince Windows to let the bundled PHP interpreter operate in peace (be a server, access the network, write files, etc.) The alternative, which I don't favor right now, is to merge the PHP interpreter into the Electron app itself by using php-wasm, but that would be complicated, and necessitate bundling an HTTP server into the app too. That'd be a colossal refactor.

[22ka]

@TravisCarden I have added the code to
C:\Users\Peter\Documents\drupal\vendor\php-tuf\composer-stager\src\Internal\Filesystem\Service\Filesystem.php

When I do this all I get everywhere is the page.
The website encountered an unexpected error. Try again later.

I thought at first the nested parentheses were not correct but I double checked and tested without one I also tried removing the last comma but it still complains about ParseError: syntax error, unexpected token ")"

I dont know if this helps in any way.

[TravisCarden]

I don't think it's the snippet I gave you, @22ka. With it in place, I can run my automated tests--and they pass--which I wouldn't be able to do if there were a syntax error. Would an actual patch file help?

cms-launcher-70.patch

[22ka]

Thank you for the patch file.
Just to double check I have download and installed git to update the file. ( please see attached)

I have a Windows 11 machine, so I'll try to see if I can reproduce this. Should be able to!

[phenaproxima]

@TravisCarden, you said earlier:

@phenaproxima, supposing this is a bug in Composer Stager and I fix it, it won't ultimately fix the problem here. As you know, symlinks are forbidden on Windows, so the precondition system will throw an exception on this file anyway. Are you passing this known symlink as an exclusion?

We're not, because it's a quirk of Drush and we probably don't want to carve out specific exceptions for idiosyncratic code bases of dependencies. Drush really should not be shipping a symlink, but asking them to remove it might just run into a wall, so I honestly just kinda like the idea, at this point, of having the launcher unconditionally delete the symlink at install time.

The only problem: if Drush is updated (by Automatic Updates, say), that symlink could come right back and the launcher won't be able to interfere.

[phenaproxima]

My preferred fix here, I think, is to have Drush remove the symlink (assuming they don't really need it, which may well be the case since it was added 5 years ago and apparently not touched since). Opened a PR for that: drush-ops/drush#6291

[phenaproxima]

@22ka, I think the fast workaround for you, for the moment, is to delete the offending file (C:/Users/Peter/Documents/drupal/vendor/drush/drush/docs/contribute/CONTRIBUTING.md). If it reappears, delete it again.

[phenaproxima]

On the other hand, my PR got merged, so I guess this will be in the next version of Drush. :)
