Failed to generate plugin

mkerbouche opened this issue 7 years ago · 14 comments

Hi!

When a I try to generate plugin following the tuto I have this issue :

$ ./wpmvc generate myplugin
./core/

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in ****/wp-includes/l
oad.php on line 1095

I'm on Wordpress 4.9.4 and I've tried with php 5.4 and php 7.1

Thanks !

Hi--this doesn't look related to the plugin. Line 1095 is:

return ( $thing instanceof WP_Error );

But it seems like there is a parse error there in your installation (i.e. that line says something else that isn't valid PHP). You may want to reinstall WordPress, disable other plugins, and debug from there.

The wordpress installation is new, it's a clean install there is no plugin...

Answer 3 · 2018-03-12T12:17:37.000Z

Looks like the correct syntax is: ./wpmvc generate plugin MyPlugin. If that doesn't work, is this a multisite installation?

Answer 4 · 2018-03-12T13:02:35.000Z

It's the same :

$ ./wpmvc generate plugin myplugin

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/12/d563432393/htdocs/bf/wp-includes/l
oad.php on line 1095

Thanks.

Can anyone else watching this thread reproduce this? So far no luck for me...

Answer 6 · 2018-03-12T13:04:48.000Z

Also what is the text on /homepages/12/d563432393/htdocs/bf/wp-includes/load.php line 1095?

Answer 7 · 2018-03-12T13:05:21.000Z

it is : return ( $thing instanceof WP_Error );

Unfortunately on a clean installation of WordPress (single site) with just the wp-mvc plugin, I cannot reproduce this:

$ ./wpmvc generate plugin myplugin MyPlugin

Welcome to WP MVC Console!

This is running PHP 7.0.27 (cli) (built: Jan 5 2018 12:26:39) ( NTS ) WordPress 4.9.4 and WP MVC 1.3.14 (latest) from the plugin repository.

Answer 10 · 2018-03-12T13:22:36.000Z

Silly question: have you activated the plugin on the install already?

Answer 11 · 2018-03-12T13:41:28.000Z

Yes it is activated.

Answer 12 · 2018-03-12T20:18:17.000Z

I've tried on several installations of WP but it always failed

Answer 13 · 2018-03-12T20:34:25.000Z

I've found the issue :

https://assistance.1and1.fr/hebergement-c65619/programmation-c65626/php-c65653/php-cli--executer-des-scripts-dans-le-shell-a793786.html

I am hosted by 1and1 and they provide an old version of php when using command line.

I had to specify the version of php when using the command line

Answer 14 · 2018-03-12T21:47:32.000Z

Great, glad you found it!

In case anyone else finds this thread in future, could you specify which version of php was the culprit? Sounds like it wasn't able to parse the instanceof command? Or something else?

Thanks for coming back to clarify.
