Question and/or Issue about compresssion

[llaville]

As specified by help itself

The compression (string, integer) setting is the compression algorithm
 to use when the Phar is built. The compression affects the individual
 files within the Phar, and not the Phar as a whole (Phar::compressFiles()).
 The following is a list of the signature algorithms listed on the help
 page:

   - BZ2 (Phar::BZ2)
   - GZ (Phar::GZ)
   - NONE (Phar::NONE)

I've tried with box 2.5.0 to put in my box.json config file ,

{
    "compression": "NONE"
}

After building the contents, I got an exception on console output

? Compressing...

  [BadMethodCallException]
  Unknown compression specified, please pass one of Phar::GZ or Phar::BZ2

My platform PHP 5.6.5 with phar directives, given by php --ri phar

Phar

Phar: PHP Archive support => enabled
Phar EXT version => 2.0.2
Phar API version => 1.1.1

Did I missed something, or misunderstood feature ?

Sorry for the wait!

Have you tried building your phar without the "compression" setting at all?

I think I may have misunderstood or incorrectly used the Phar::NONE constant. If you're able to build it without the option, I'll have fix the documentation.

[llaville]

Yes, without compression option, the phar was built. It may be usefull if compression: NONE works, because we can switch easily between NONE to another value like GZ or BZ2

[kherge]

It should be fixed now. Please try the new version (box update).

I've just uploaded and tested the new 2.5.2 version.
It works like a charm (at least on Windows platform) Thanks a lot !
