Window::getSize() => tput: unknown terminfo capability 'cols\nlines'

[SebastienElet]

Hello,

I have the error :

tput: unknown terminfo capability 'cols\nlines'

Here is the code to reproduce the error :

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
var_dump(Hoa\Console\Window::getSize());

I use the package php5-cli on debian 7.5. The PHP Version => 5.4.4-14+deb7u9

I use a local tmux -> ssh -> zsh 4.3.17

The fallowing command is working :

$ echo "cols\nlines" | tput -S

Hello :-),

Can you print the $_SERVER variable in a PHP script running in CLI please? I would like to know if the TERM variable is available. Also, is PHP running with a specific user that has a shell?

When you say that echo "cols\nlines" | tput -S is working, is it inside a tmux instance?

echo "cols\nlines" | tput -S is working with or without tmux.

What about executing:

<?php

var_dump(shell_exec('echo "cols\nlines" | tput -S'));

(without Hoa actually)
If it fails, it is an issue related to PHP. What the user of PHP? Has this user a shell?

Edit: it seems that your run the script in root. Is it normal?

[Hywan]

I am summarizing the yesterday IRC discussion. The command works in a regular shell, including as a root. The command does not work in PHP. This is not related to Hoa but to PHP. However, it would be great to detect the issue and prevent the user.

@nasga: Are you agree with my summary?

[SebastienElet]

I have the same issue with the var_dump.
I'm able to reproduce the issue from cli.

$ sh --version
# GNU bash, version 4.2.37(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
$ sh
$ echo "cols\nlines" | tput -S
# tput: unknown terminfo capability 'cols\nlines'

This issue seems to be related to my term.

[SebastienElet]

echo -e is working in php/cli.

Your problem were partly based on #23, which is fixed. I consider this issue as closed :-).
