When I try to build a phar for phpDocumentor I get the following error:

Hello. I'm trying your library. It seems cool, thanks. But I have an issue.

I use composer, with the native autoloader, but I use a mount point like that This is not my project, this is just a sample.

My issue is that the autoloader can find class a the root of my project. But If I hack and copy the lib to the target-dir, it works.

So it could me very nice to add a new option: a map between real path, and phar path:

"map": {
  "src": "SensioLabs/Bundle/ConnectBundle"
}

I'm on the latest build of Box 2.0. I tried basically started with the box.json.dist file that ships with Box when making my own box file, which looks like this:

{
    "alias": "craft.phar",
    "chmod": "0755",
    "directories": ["src/lib"],
    "finder": [
        {
            "name": "*.php",
            "exclude": [
                "phpunit",
                "phpunit-test-case",
                "Tester",
                "Tests",
                "tests",
                "yaml"
            ],
            "in": "src/vendors"
        }
    ],
    "main": "bin/craft",
    "output": "craft.phar",
    "stub": true
}

However, I am getting an error that the index.php doesn't exist when actually trying to run the generated Phar. So, I cloned down Box itself and ran box build and get the same error on a clean clone of Box:

Warning: include(phar:///media/sf_Code/Laboratory/Box/box-2.0.0-rc.1-8-g77f3c19.phar/index.php):

Box project claims to work under PHP 5.3.3

This is not true anymore for v2.7.4 phar file, v2.7.2 phar file is working. Failing example: https://travis-ci.org/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer/jobs/152603392#L963

The reason is the way that box phar file was built - it uses too new deps, exactly Symfony v3.x components (in general it allows v2 || v3), which won't run under PHP 5.3.3. I would say that build is done on newer PHP version. It could be avoided by updating component deps before building the box phar with "platform": {"php": "5.3.3"} in composer.json file (example).

Sadly, I cannot help more as phar file is built outside Travis (probably locally by project maintainers).

This is always included even if I do not include extract in my JSON or set it to false:

if (in_array('phar', stream_get_wrappers()) && class_exists('Phar', 0)) {
Phar::interceptFileFuncs();
set_include_path('phar://' . __FILE__ . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
Phar::webPhar(null, $web);
include 'phar://' . __FILE__ . '/' . Extract_Phar::START;
return;
}

Also the Extract_Phar::START somehow evaluates to index.php, which is a non-existent file in the .phar. This is my repo (including the box.json): https://github.com/rugk/threema-msgapi-sdk-php/tree/536457329376dc657cb02a558c9dd8d802af2b67

Hi!

I've been using box, and recently wrote a blog post for creating signed PHAR files using Box, as well as automating creation and distribution:

• https://mwop.net/blog/2015-12-14-secure-phar-automation.html

One point that has been raised by some of my readers is that I detail creating a signed PHAR, but then use an unsigned phar to create it, namely the one from box-project.

It'd be awesome if you could sign your phar files and provide a public key for verification; essentially, it would be one more level of trust in the chain. Let me know if I can be of any assistance in this!

As mentioned in #103 it would be nice to specify a release date a la composer. The placeholder name is datetime but maybe releasedatecould be more meaningful.

As of now the output is a string like 2015-10-28 10:34:23

i want to build application with laravel and after i build it with 'box' the box.json file ::

{
    "alias": "test.phar",
    "chmod": "0755",
    "directories": ["src/app", "src/public", "src/bootstrap"],
    "files": [
        "src/vendor/autoload.php"
    ],
    "finder": [{
        "name": "*.php",
        "exclude": ["Tests", "tests", "test-suite"],
        "in": "src/vendor"
    }],

    "git-version": "package_version",
    "main": "bin/index",
    "output": "bin/blog.phar",
    "stub": true
}

and run it from the command line the console print this error :

PHP Warning:  require(/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/start.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in phar:///opt/lampp/htdocs/phars/test/bin/blog.phar/src/bootstrap/start.php on line 60

where is my mistake ??

Hi! :)

At the moment, when running box with a box.json and a box.json.dist present, box completely ignores box.json.dist. I think it would be great if box would merge both, because that would allow to define the defaults in the .dist and to override specific local settings (private key) in the box.json without having to copy everything.

Cheers, Bernhard

There is actually silent error ATM when loading bootstrap. This should really load it.

It's never used, only in tests, see loadBootstrap method presence

Hello,

It could be very nice to be able to trigger: box update. Because when the project is quite big, the phar compilation is slow ;) We already did a things like this, so it's possible...

Some dependencies are abandoned:

Package phine/exception is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package phine/path is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package herrera-io/version is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package herrera-io/json is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use kherge/json instead.
Package herrera-io/phar-update is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
Package herrera-io/annotations is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.

I have written a Docker image (from official php7 alpine3 image) to use this amazing tool:

• https://github.com/ebuildy/docker-box
• https://hub.docker.com/r/ebuildy/box/

docker run -v $PWD:/app ebuildy/box:v0.0.4 build

Tell me what do you think about!

Unfortunately, where I work we still use svn to version control. And I had to make a copy of the project and git init then git commit to being able to build.

Fatal error: Class 'phpseclib\Crypt\Common\AsymmetricKey' not found in /var/www/html/kowboykit.com/htdocs/phpseclib/Crypt/RSA.php on line 63

Is throwing every time I use include('Crypt/RSA.php');

Dialog helper was deprecated from 2.5, should be replaced by Question helper. Breaks on asking for the passphrase to a private key when signing phars with openssl. Temporary workaround, when installing box as an isolated composer dev dependency, is to manually require-dev symfony/console for 2.8.
