Infinite runtime when requiring ext-gd php extension

[peter-neumann-dev]

Hello, I am getting infinite runetimes when I require gd in php_extensions

I have to cancel the job because each time because it will not stop running …

Here are my logs for this job:

I think this may have been the cause source: https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer#supported-php-extensions

@diamondicq-it thanks for that. I couldn't figure out what the problem was but this seems to be it. Do you think it would be sensible to set this as part of the action, on behalf of the user, or maybe this issue can be resolved by echoing this documentation, with an example of how to set an env variable?

Does setting the env variable fix the issue for you, @peter-neumann-dev

@g105b an example of how to set an env variable would be nice. Thanks.

I could try this within the next days. @diamondicq-it I think you will set this like (at least how I will try to start with)

name : Your Job Name
env:
  IPE_GD_WITHOUTAVIF: 1

You can also define this per step: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/environment-variables

[g105b]

As @peter-neumann-dev has rightly pointed out, setting environment variables is done with the env property.

Here's the php-actions example-composer repository, used for testing this kind of thing, with a test runner where the environment variables are set, so you can see this working in situ:

@g105b Had I said in the next few days? 😄

Since the project was delayed before we could deploy to production, it is now back on track. Today I have used it again without any issues. So with IPE_GD_WITHOUTAVIF set and without it seems to work perfect. There is no time difference whatsoever. Maybe because of latest releases …

I think we can close this issue from my perspective 🙂

Glad to hear it's working for you. Feel free to open again if you have any further issues.

Have fun!
