Fail to open system/bootstrap.php

[muradmustafayev]

Time to time I see this warning when try install devstarter via Composer.
I run this command from documentation:
composer create-project codeigniter4/devstarter my-awesome-project -s dev --no-dev

Warning: require(E:\OSPanel\domains\localhost\magazine\app\Config/../../system/bootstrap.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\OSPanel\domains\localhost\magazine\spark on line 43

Does this happen every time? Sounds like just occasionally, which will make it a bugger to debug. Anything common on your end when that happens that you can think of?

Also, it's unclear to me if you get that error while installing from composer (unlikely) or after having installed. And when you get the error, have you run composer upgrade first? or is this a fresh run after install?

[muradmustafayev]

It's fresh install.
I've tried composer ugrade, update with and without --no-dev flag. The result stays the same

I started try CI4 3-4 months ago. Since then had problem and moved to appstarter. But after Migration major update, started to use devapstarter with Composer and worked as expected. Now again this happening

@jim-parry I feel we've ran into this before. The devstarter repo is pointing to the wrong system location again. Needs to point to vendor/codeigniter4/codeigniter4/system.

Just pushed a change to app/Config/Paths.php, which I thought I had fixed before but obviously didn't :(
Does "composer update" fix the problem now?

[jim-parry]

Actually, I am not sure that composer update will help, The change is in the devstart repo, which was probably cloned. That would mean pulling from it, which might clobber work a developer has done.
So, the problem may be fixed for new cloners of the repo, but existing ones might have to manually update app/Config/Paths.php

[jim-parry]

So, problem fixed for future users of devstarter; workaroung above for existing users.
