Can't install with pickle

[rageshkrishna]

Description

Running pickle install mongodb results in the following error:

root@00b966884cbc:~# pickle install mongodb
  - Installing mongodb (latest-stable): Downloading (100%)


  [Exception]
  Couldn't parse the version defined in the PHP_MONGODB_VERSION macro


install [--no-convert] [--defaults] [--source] [--with-configure-options WITH-CONFIGURE-OPTIONS] [--save-logs SAVE-LOGS] [--dry-run] [--php PHP] [--ini INI] [--tmp-dir TMP-DIR] [--] [<path>]

I suspect pickle is looking for PHP_MONGODB_VERSION but mongo-php-driver doesn't define it anywhere. To be honest, I'm not sure if this is a bug in mongo-php-driver or in pickle, but it looks like pickle is able to find it on several other extensions I am installing so is it some sort of standard approach that is not adopted by mongo-php-driver?

Environment

Ubuntu 16.04 docker container, PHP 7.1 installed with php-build and managed with phpenv.

Test Script

Fails on install with the command above. No other test script,

Expected and Actual Behavior

Expected the extension to be installed, but it did not.

PHP_EXTNAME_VERSION is included PHP's skeleton header for extensions. I don't recall if we used that when creating this extension, but this is easy to address. I've opened PHPC-936 to add the missing macro.

@weltling, @pierrejoye: I believe the PHP_EXTNAME_VERSION convention dates back to php/php-src@dcfd753, but can you explain why Pickle needs to derive a version from extension headers? I realize you need the version before building the extension, so phpversion('extname') is not an option, but Composer pulls version info from Git tags. Since you support both Git and HTTP sources (I assume that means PECL's index), wouldn't you simply pull version info from tags and PECL's database, respectively?

[pierrejoye]

Extension version in header is a norm. Used in phpinfo() or in extension versions constants. We added this check to avoid releases without it.

On top of it we make sure header matches with desired versions.

@pierrejoye: Thanks for the quick reply.

@rageshkrishna: 1.2.8 has been released with the change, so I will close this.

I attempted to install the extension using pickle install mongodb and there appears to be a configure error emanating from PHP_SETUP_OPENSSL() on my system. The headers are not being found as they normally are through a pecl install. I'm unsure if this is just specific to my OS environment or a widespread issue, but it's beyond the scope of PHPC-936 so please open a new issue if problems persist for you. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to attempt installation with pickle before creating the PECL release, so I was unable to catch this before the release.

Either specify the git repo and branch/tag or runs it from the src root directory, that should do it :)

This got me around the OpenSSL error:

echo "--with-openssl-dir=yes" >> opts
pickle install --with-configure-options=opts mongodb

Thanks for the help @jmikola @pierrejoye!

[derickr]

@rageshkrishna — that sounds like a bug (in pickle), as --with-openssl-dir by default is set to true, and it uses --without-openssl-dir when you use the -n flag to pickle:

I filed a ticket for pickle: FriendsOfPHP/pickle#152

[rageshkrishna]

@derickr You're right, I get the evp.h error if I just do pickle install mongodb and accept the defaults on all the prompts. It works fine only if I specifically say yes when it asks for OpenSSL dir for mongodb (default: ): .

Thanks for opening the issue on pickle.

[allella]

@derickr Is there any interest in promoting a forthcoming yum installable PECL package for CentOS / RHEL 7?

The folks at IUS are rolling out php71u-pecl-mongodb
to go along with many of the other PHP and PECL packages they support.

I figured I'd ask on this somewhat related thread rather than open a new issue for the sake of getting someone's guidance if if this is a good or bad idea.

Thanks

[derickr]

Hi @allella , there has been a YUM installable package for a long time, made by @remicollet for the Fedora (and related) projects: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/php-pecl-mongodb.git/

[remicollet]

The php-pecl-mongodb package in EPEL is design to work with default PHP in base system.

Official RH answer to provide newer PHP versions is Software Collections which are also available for CentOS users
=> https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL

Additional packages maintained by community (the CentOS SCLo SIG) includes the sclo-php-pecl-mongodb package (planed to be rebase to 1.2.x with RHSCL next version)
=> https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2017/02/23/Additional-PHP-packages-for-RHSCL

@allella I don't think promoting alternative 3rd party repository make sense, especially when tons exists: ius, remi, webtatic... (and especially IUS which only provide a very minimal set of extensions, just pulling their sources from another repository...)
