mkdir(): Invalid path

[neo-brendan]

I am getting an "[ErrorException] mkdir(): Invalid path" when trying to use this to install some (but not all) magento modules.

I have about 20 modules that work perfectly and then another 8 or so that throw this error. I have checked the modman and composer files per module and there doesn't seem to be any visible errors.

[AydinHassan]

could you try run composer install -vvv please?

[Flyingmana]

could you also provide the mapping the failing modules use? (modman,package.xml, "map" element in composer.json?)

[neo-brendan]

This is a different module with the same outcome.
Id like to point out that these are modules on company repos.

What package.xml file? and what map element in the composer.json file? I dont know of (or have) either of these. Below is the modman file

I also encountered on algolia/algoliasearch-magento. This only occurs when using the "copy" strategy. The symlink strategy works as expected.

This occurs after deploying via the symlink strategy, then deploying later via the copy strategy. magento-force: true must be enabled in order for this to get far enough to hit this error. This also only occurs also in cases where the modman file source and path are not identical.

Example:

Algolia_Algoliasearch.xml                   app/etc/modules/Algolia_Algoliasearch.xml
code                                        app/code/community/Algolia/Algoliasearch/
design/frontend/layout/algoliasearch.xml    app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/algoliasearch.xml
design/frontend/template                    app/design/frontend/base/default/template/algoliasearch
skin                                        skin/frontend/base/default/algoliasearch
js                                          js/algoliasearch
lib/AlgoliaSearch                           lib/AlgoliaSearch/

When copying code to htdocs/app/code/community/Algolia/Algoliasearch and htdocs/app/code/community/Algolia/Algoliasearch is symlinked to vendor/algolia/algoliasearch-magento/code from a previous install, the installer creates a new directory code instead of htdocs/app/code/community/Algolia/Algoliasearch, thus creating a new directory vendor/algolia/algoliasearch-magento/code/code. The recursive directory iterator picks up this new directory and keeps going down and down until eventually mkdir fails. You can see this if you add var_dump($subDestPath); at line 103.

To reproduce (with composer.json with hackathon module already installed):

composer config repositories.algoliasearch-magento vcs https://github.com/algolia/algoliasearch-magento.it;
composer config extra.magento-force true;
composer config extra.magento-deploystrategy symlink;
composer require algolia/algoliasearch-magento;

# Reinstall via copy strategy
composer config extra.magento-deploystrategy copy;
rm -rf vendor;
composer install;

[kirkmadera]

The fix for this may be a built in redeploy script. We have a bash script that we use that looks something like this:

packageInfo=$(composer info);
cp composer.json composer.json.bak;
cp composer.lock composer.lock.bak;
composer config discard-changes true;

IFS="\n";
readarray -t lines <<<"$packageInfo";
IFS=" ";
packageNames="";
for line in "${lines[@]}"; do
   packageName=$(cut -f1 -d" " <<<"$line");
   if [[ $packageName == *"/"* ]] && [[ ! 'aydin-hassan/magento-core-composer-installer' = $packageName ]] && [[ ! 'magento-hackathon/magento-composer-installer' = $packageName ]] && [[ ! 'aydin-hassan/magento-core-composer-installer' = $packageName ]]; then
        packageNames="$packageNames $packageName";
    fi
done
composer remove $packageNames --no-interaction;
mv composer.json.bak composer.json;
mv composer.lock.bak composer.lock;
composer install;

It removes all installed composer packages, then reinstalls them.

Same error here - any chance we can work on this?
I basically got the same error as above, so I don't think I have to provide it again.

Meanwhile I'll have a look at the composer.json which seems to cause the error and see if I can find something suspicious.

[Morgy93]

Alright, that one was easy.
The composer.json contained:

            [
                "src/skin/frontend/base/default/images/patterns/*",
                    "skin/frontend/base/default/images/patterns/*"
            ],

So it tried to create the * folder which of course is wrong.
