Issue installing Bonfire: CI

[Kobus Myburgh]

$ php spark bf:install

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Failed opening required 'C:\sites\ci4\app\Config/../../vendor/codeigniter4/codeigniter4/system\bootstr
ap.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\sites\ci4\spark:75
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
thrown in C:\sites\ci4\spark on line 75

Get a few of those kind of messages, some warnings, and then the above fatal error. I checked my vendor folder. My CI4 is not in vendor/codeigniter4/codeigniter4/system but in vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system ... I installed CI4 with composer, so not sure where it goes wrong. I have installed several other packages without issues with this CI4 instance, so I am suspecting an issue with this package, but I am not sure.

Any ideas?

vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system is correct when you install via appstarter.
Fix the $systemDirectory value in app/Config/Paths.php.

Hi Kenji,

Thanks for the feedback. My path in my Paths config says

public string $systemDirectory = __DIR__ . '/../../vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system';

But it looks like Bonfire2 is expecting it to be in public string $systemDirectory = __DIR__ . '/../../vendor/codeigniter4/codeigniter4/system';

I have installed CI4 with Composer, and it put it there in "framework" folder, and that is where the file physically are located too. So if I change it in the paths manually then other things won't work.

Your error message:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Failed opening required 'C:\sites\ci4\app\Config/../../vendor/codeigniter4/codeigniter4/system\bootstrap.php' (include_path='C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\sites\ci4\spark:75

spark L75:

require rtrim($paths->systemDirectory, '\\/ ') . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'bootstrap.php';

In my understanding, spark L75 loads system/bootstrap.php. If your Config\Paths has:

    public $systemDirectory = __DIR__ . '/../../vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system';

It should load C:\sites\ci4\app\Config/../../vendor/codeigniter4/framework/system\bootstrap.php.

I don't know why it tries to load C:\sites\ci4\app\Config/../../vendor/codeigniter4/codeigniter4/system\bootstrap.php.

Thank you - it might then mean my original CI4 installation failed? I can't understand - but everything else works, I just can't get Bonfire installed, so I will skip bonfire until I know more.

I do not know. At least I can't imagine the cause of your error at all. Something strange is happening that is beyond my imagination.
