failed to download laravel/laravel from dist

[firecentaur]

Hi there, I am following your Run Laravel 9 on Docker in 20224.3 tutorial and am on the install laravel step however,

when I run the command:

make execute-in-container DOCKER_SERVICE_NAME="application" COMMAND='composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel /tmp/laravel "9.*" --no-install --no-scripts'

I get the following error:

ENV=local TAG=latest DOCKER_REGISTRY=docker.io DOCKER_NAMESPACE=dofroscra APP_USER_NAME=application APP_GROUP_NAME=application docker-compose -p dofroscra_local --env-file ./.docker/.env -f ./.docker/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml -f ./.docker/docker-compose/docker-compose.local.yml exec -T --user application application composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel /tmp/laravel "9.*" --no-install --no-scripts

I have already run make docker-build, and make docker-up. What am I doing wrong?

hello?

Hey @firecentaur,

which branch are you using? When you want to "install laravel yourself" you need to use part-4-2-phpstorm-docker-xdebug-3-php-8-1-in-2022. Branch part-4-3-run-laravel-9-docker-in-2022 contains the "final result" with Laravel already installed.

Seems like git is not properly installed in the image. You might have a stale image, so you could try to run

ENV=local TAG=latest DOCKER_REGISTRY=docker.io DOCKER_NAMESPACE=dofroscra APP_USER_NAME=application APP_GROUP_NAME=application docker-compose -p dofroscra_local --env-file ./.docker/.env -f ./.docker/docker-compose/docker-compose-php-base.yml build php-base --no-cache

once before make docker-build to ensure that you don't use any chached versions.

---

I just tried the following steps and they work out as expected for me:

git checkout part-4-2-phpstorm-docker-xdebug-3-php-8-1-in-2022

Add to .docker/images/php/base/Dockerfile (final file: https://github.com/paslandau/docker-php-tutorial/blob/part-4-3-run-laravel-9-docker-in-2022/.docker/images/php/base/Dockerfile )

# ...

RUN apk add --update --no-cache  \
        php-curl~=${TARGET_PHP_VERSION}

make make-init

make docker-build

make docker-up

make execute-in-container DOCKER_SERVICE_NAME="application" COMMAND='composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel /tmp/laravel "9.0.*" --no-install --no-scripts'

rm -rf public/ tests/ composer.* phpunit.xml
make execute-in-container DOCKER_SERVICE_NAME="application" COMMAND="bash -c 'mv -n /tmp/laravel/{.*,*} .' && rm -f /tmp/laravel"
cp .env.example .env

make composer ARGS=install
make composer ARGS="run-script post-create-project-cmd"
