ArticlesField Installation via Joomla CLI fails - Support Forum

YOOtheme

When trying to install the ArticlesField Plugin via the Joomla CLI it fails because of compatibility issues with Symfony Console in the `reorderMessageQueue()` function in the installer script.

This is the error you get in the Joomla CLI

PHP 18. pkg_articlesInstallerScript::reorderMessageQueue() /var/www/html/_demo/joomla-test/tmp/install_6571bfae7ced5/script.install…php:232
[OK] Extension installed successfully.
// <strong>The Regular Labs Library</strong> v<strong>23.12.1338</strong> has been successfully installe

In OutputWrapper.php line 56:

This could be prevented if `displayMessages()` in the postflight would only be executed if not currently in CLI, for example like this

if (php_sapi_name() !== 'cli') {
    self::displayMessages();
}

The messages will then still be displayed if installed in Joomla Extension Manager and installation won't fail in CLI.

Looks to be more of a Joomla issue that it doesn't handle enqueueMessage() calls nicely on cli, but anyway.
I'll add the return early inside my displayMessages methods.
This will be included in future releases.

Thanks for notifying me about it 🙂
