GWG jackjamieson, saw the merge
#
jackjamieson GWG, thanks for that - seems good but actually I'm still checking a few things. The copy-files command doesn't seem to run upon update, and when I try to run it directly I'm getting an error. Probably just a misunderstanding of composer - I'll poke around a bit and write a comment to the PR with more info if needed
#
GWG jackjamieson, what erorr?
#
GWG error?
#
jackjamieson "cp: illegal option -- u "
#
jackjamieson The full output:
#
jackjamieson Jacks-MacBook-Pro-3:yarns-microsub-server jackjamieson$ php composer.phar copy-files
#
jackjamieson > cp -u -r vendor/parse-this/*.php lib/parse-this
#
jackjamieson cp: illegal option -- u
#
jackjamieson usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvXc] source_file target_file
#
jackjamieson cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvXc] source_file ... target_directory
#
jackjamieson Script cp -u -r vendor/parse-this/*.php lib/parse-this handling the copy-files event returned with error code 64
#
GWG That is interesting
#
jackjamieson Just ran self-update on composer to see if that made a difference, but no luck
#
GWG Try adding --parents to the copy command on each line?
#
GWG I may have created the directory first
#
GWG That should solve it
#
GWG I am only using composer as a dev tool, as opposed to a dependency
#
GWG Is the new Post Kinds working for you too?
#
jackjamieson Tried adding --parents to each line and also creating an empty 'lib/parse-this' directory first, but no luck
#
jackjamieson For the meanwhile, I can just copy the files manually until I figure it out
#
GWG Can you try running each copy entry on the command line?
#
GWG Wonder when -u entered the cp command
#
GWG Can I ask the OS?
#
jackjamieson Same error. Mac OS 10.14.5
#
jackjamieson What does -u do?
#
GWG Only copy updated files
#
GWG I checked, Linux has more options in its cp entry
#
GWG Linux -r is recursive, and MacOS -R
#
jackjamieson Ah, If I remove -u it at least copies the files in the root directory, but returns an error on /includes
#
GWG Never occurred to me that MacOS would not have a copy command that matched mine
#
GWG I will see what I can think up
#
GWG https://packagist.org/packages/slowprog/composer-copy-file
#
jackjamieson That looks pretty good, I'll try it out
#
GWG I use just a basic copy script to extract only the files I need out of the dependencies
#
GWG So, Post Kinds doesn't bundle Simple Pie
#
GWG In a future refactor, I might not have it bundle the Parse This RSS and jsonfeed classes
#
GWG Autoload makes that easier
#
GWG You just ask if a class exists and it loads it if it can
#
GWG It's the first PHP 5.3 feature I've really adopted
#
jackjamieson Autoload seems pretty great - I haven't looked at it closely but I'm happy to have a simpler way to manage dependencies in WordPress
#
GWG jackjamieson, there is still the issue of load order
#
GWG But that's why I am going to try to remove the global functions
#
jackjamieson Yeah, I've been thinking of moving all of Yarns' global functions into classes
#
GWG Namespaces are an alternative in 5.3 and above
#
jackjamieson I should really read more about php updates
#
Loqi yea!
#
jackjamieson that composer-copy-file seems to have done the trick. Just double-checking now. Then I'm spending some time writing a blog post about how to set up Yarns this afternoon. In the process I should be able to discover if there are any compatibility issue with post kinds
#
GWG Me too
#
GWG I am behind on everything post 5.2
