Unable to install packages on Windows and PHP7.3.1 about package-command

[Hlsgs]

Running wp package list results in:

PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(phar://D:/dev/wp-cli/wp-cli.phar/vendor/composer/ca-bundle/src/../res/cacert.pem): failed to open stream: phar error: "vendor/composer/ca-bundle/res/cacert.pem" is not a file in phar "D:/dev/wp-cli/wp-cli.phar" in phar://D:/dev/wp-cli/wp-cli.phar/vendor/composer/ca-bundle/src/CaBundle.php on line 140

Error: Failed to get composer instance: The configured cafile was not valid or could not be read.

So this seems related to #4703, #72 and it's resolution #73.

Has #73 not been merged into the latest WP-CLI 2.1.0?

[schlessera]

The fix in #73 has been merged into WP-CLI and is part of v2.1.0.

My first guess would be that the SSL_CERT_FILE environment variable that the fix wants to set is either not correctly set or that Composer does ignore it in this case.

[Hlsgs]

The SSL_CERT_FILE env variable is not set. However, if I do set it to phar://wp-cli.phar/vendor/rmccue/requests/library/Requests/Transport/cacert.pem as per wp-cli/wp-cli#4703 (comment), everything works fine. This is regardless of whether I run everything as admin or not.

[schlessera]

Okay, so the fix we did has a few conditionals, and maybe one if them is failing:

https://github.com/wp-cli/package-command/pull/73/files#diff-ca5ded108d7e84b923c359071e50f993R1070

Can you check whether one of these environment variables might be set for you?

[schlessera]

Okay, to be more precise, check whether any of the following exist:

• environment variable SSL_CERT_FILE (you already checked that one)
• environment variable SSL_CERT_DIR
• PHP ini value openssl.cafile
• PHP ini value openssl.capath

Also, maybe the check to see whether you're in a Phar is failing for you. Please verify the result of the following command:

wp eval "var_dump( WP_CLI\Utils\inside_phar() );"

[Hlsgs]

Only openssl.cafile is set: openssl.cafile = "\dev\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt" and the result of that command is bool(true). This is a XAMPP portable stack, so this will be pretty common.

[schlessera]

Okay, so I assume that:

• openssl.cafile being set disable the fix in #73
• This means we would land here in Composer: https://github.com/composer/ca-bundle/blob/1.1.0/src/CaBundle.php#L84
• I assume this fails somehow (maybe file cannot be validated?), so we fall through until Composer tries to load the bundled file: https://github.com/composer/ca-bundle/blob/1.1.0/src/CaBundle.php#L121

1. Can you try to temporarily unset openssl.cafile to see whether that fixes the issue?
2. Can you try to diagnose why one of the conditions in here fails: https://github.com/composer/ca-bundle/blob/1.1.0/src/CaBundle.php#L85

[Hlsgs]

1. Unsetting openssl.cafile = "\dev\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt" solves the issue. Also, setting the full path including the drive letter like so openssl.cafile = "d:\dev\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt" also solves the issue. The former is the way XAMPP portable configures itself, and it makes sense so that the stack is fully portable, as in working from a USB stick.
2. I don't know how to test that, but I presume it's to do with the above mentioned path.

[schlessera]

Okay, so this is in fact an upstream issue with Composer on Windows then.

Composer fails to properly validate the provided CA file here: https://github.com/composer/ca-bundle/blob/1.1.0/src/CaBundle.php#L85

This means that there's not much to change at the WP-CLI side of things, but it might make sense to introduce a bug report to the Composer repository instead.

[Hlsgs]

@schlessera Doing that is unfortunately beyond my knowledge level, so, if you could be bothered to do it instead, it would be great. Regardless, thank you for your time!

[schlessera]

I've created an upstream ticket. I'm not sure this is something that can be solved by Composer, so you shouldn't hold your breath and just remove/adapt the openssl.cafile setting for now.

I'm closing the ticket as there's currently no next action for WP-CLI, but we can reopen if needed.

[Hlsgs]

I will set the SSL_CERT_FILE env variable to phar://wp-cli.phar/vendor/rmccue/requests/library/Requests/Transport/cacert.pem as a mitigation for now. Thank you!

I was facing the same issue on my windows setup.

Quick SOLUTION is:

1. In my php.ini there is a code openssl.cafile which have set the file curl-ca-bundle.crt E.g.

openssl.cafile="C:\xampp\apache\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt"

I notice that the file curl-ca-bundle.crt NOT EXIST in location C:\xampp\apache\bin\

2. On other computers localhost, I found that the path for openssl.cafile in php.ini file was not set.

For both the above cases, I have followed the below steps:

• Step 1: Download the cacert.pem file from https://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
• Step 2: Paste into C:\xampp\apache\bin\
• Step 3: Make sure the curl.exe and the cacert.pem file in the same directory.
• Step 4: Rename the cacert.pem file to curl-ca-bundle.crt
• Step 5: Re-run curl.exe !

More Details

My old version of WP CLI was 2.1.0.

C:\xampp\htdocs\dev.test\wp-content
λ wp cli info
OS:     Windows NT 6.3 build 9600 (Windows 8.1 Professional Edition) AMD64
Shell:  C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe

WP-CLI packages dir:    C:\Users\MaheshW/.wp-cli/packages/

WP-CLI version: 2.1.0

I have update my WP CLI version:

C:\xampp\htdocs\dev.test\wp-content
λ wp cli update
You have version 2.1.0. Would you like to update to 2.2.0? [y/n] y
Downloading from https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/releases/download/v2.2.0/wp-cli-2.2.0.phar...
md5 hash verified: ffdc73bf30a4fa74079b9472993b0645
New version works. Proceeding to replace.
Success: Updated WP-CLI to 2.2.0.

But, After update still getting the same error.

C:\xampp\htdocs\dev.test\wp-content
λ wp package list
PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(phar://C:/wp-cli/wp-cli.phar/vendor/composer/ca-bundle/src/../res/cacert.pem): failed to open stream: phar error: "vendor/composer/ca-bundle/res/cacert.pem" is not a file in phar "C:/wp-cli/wp-cli.phar" in phar://C:/wp-cli/wp-cli.phar/vendor/composer/ca-bundle/src/CaBundle.php on line 140

Error: Failed to get composer instance: The configured cafile was not valid or could not be read.

I have execute the wp eval "var_dump( WP_CLI\Utils\inside_phar() );" as per about discussion:

C:\xampp\htdocs\dev.test\wp-content
λ wp eval "var_dump( WP_CLI\Utils\inside_phar() );"
bool(true)

I thought its composer issue so I was update an composer:

C:\xampp\htdocs\dev.test\wp-content
λ composer -V
Composer version 1.8.0 2018-12-03 10:31:16

C:\xampp\htdocs\dev.test\wp-content
λ cd C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin

C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin
λ composer selfupdate

C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin
λ composer -V
Composer version 1.8.5 2019-04-09 17:46:47

After composer update still getting the same error.

C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin

After a search on stackoverflow, I found the solution. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28858351/php-ssl-certificate-error-unable-to-get-local-issuer-certificate

After implementing the solution, I have successfully fixed the above issue.

C:\xampp\htdocs\dev.test\wp-content

Hope, It helps for you too.
