civicrm / civicrm-cli-tools Goto Github PK

A fatal PHP error occurs during cv core:install. I provide details of the error below but first I'll provide some context.

I am exploring the possibility of using Drupal and CIVICRM to replace the donation management system currently used by a non-profit that I'm involved in.

I have PHP 8.3.3, MySQL Server 8.3 and installed on Windows 11.
Drupal 10.2.3 and drush have both been installed and configured using composer.

Following the CIVICRM installation guide I first tried to get the Drupal 10 code using
php ..\composer.phar require civicrm/civicrm-{core,packages,drupal-8}.
However that resulted in this confusing message from composer:
Pick one of these or leave empty to abort:
[0] drupal/civicrm_tools
I choose to abort and decided to get the CIVICRM code downloaded piece by piece in this way:

1. php composer.phar require civicrm/civicrm-core

composer's message was: Using version ^5.69 for civicrm/civicrm-core.
So to keep the rest of the downloads in sync I used these restraints:

2. php composer.phar require "civicrm/civicrm-packages:^5.69"
3. php composer.phar require "civicrm/civicrm-drupal-8:^5.69"
4. php composer.phar require civicrm/cli-tools

Now when I try to do the cv core:install I get a fatal PHP error as follows:
C:\drupal10\localhost>vendor\bin\cv core:install --cms-base-url="https://d10.example.org" --db="mysql://civicrm_user:[email protected]:3306/civicrm_db"

I have tried a number of things including:
a) de-installing drush (I saw reference to a conflict on stackexchange)
b) using the dev-master version of cli-tools

Now I'm stumped. I would appreciate any suggestions on what I might try next.
Many thanks in advance ... Rob
