Details to include:

• Got this while trying to provision for DrupalVM. https://drupalconsole.com/installer is not opening

As a (very ugly) temporary workaround, I could obtain a copy of the "drupal" executable from a team mate that already had its VM provisionned and I changed this task in ansible :

- name: Install Drupal Console.
  get_url:
    url: https://drupalconsole.com/installer
    dest: "{{ drupal_console_path }}"

for:

- name: Copy Drupal Console (temporary workaround).
  copy:
    src: /path/to/local/copy/of/drupal
    # drupal_console_path in VM is /usr/local/bin/drupal
    dest: "{{ drupal_console_path }}"

I also disabled the "drupal console" self-update task a few lines below.
I was then able to run vagrant up --provision without issue.

I am also receiving a 500 Internal Server Error from https://drupalconsole.com/installer

[vivekpan27]

Yes, the drupal console team has to solve that issue.
Till then I guess we can use the method that @jcaillot has shown or we can remove drupalconsole from our ansible script(if we are using ansible) for the time if we do not explicitly require it. We can later add it back and re-provision the VM to get it into our system.

Where can I find this executable file to be downloaded from the link https://drupalconsole.com/installer?

[vivekpan27]

You can ask someone to provide you with the executable.
Or you can use composer:
composer require drupal/console
Then you can run drupalconsole using: vendor/bin/drupal

We are working to solve this but in future versions this installer will be removed.

Please use the composer require drupal/console to install DC

For DrupalVM, see my workaround at #3233 (comment)

[unknownterritory]

Considering that the DC team is planning to remove this installer in future versions, creating a .bashrc alias or adding vendor/bin to path might be more future friendly workarounds.

[unknownterritory]

To fully install Drupal Console and add /vendor/bin to the $PATH, on Ubuntu, using Ansible:

  tasks:
    - name: Require Drupal Console.
      composer:
        command: require
        arguments: drupal/console:~1.0
        working_dir: "/var/www/{{ project }}"
        prefer_dist: yes
        optimize_autoloader: yes
      become: false
      environment:
        COMPOSER_PROCESS_TIMEOUT: 1200
        COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT: '-1'
    - name: Add project's /vendor/bin to $PATH
      lineinfile:
        path: ~/.profile
        line: 'PATH="$PATH:/var/www/{{ project }}/vendor/bin"'
        state: present
      become: false

We are working to solve this but in future versions this installer will be removed.

Please use the composer require drupal/console to install DC

@dmouse 👋

So does this mean that the launcher itself is deprecated or soon to be deprecated?

[finex]

Hi, Drupal Console can't be installed on Drupal 8.8/8.9 using composer (look at #4251 and others), so at least the installer should be restored. Now there is no way to install it.

[codebymikey]

Hi @dmouse

Is there any particular reason the phar/launcher isn't attached to each Github release?

That'd certainly avoid issues like this while reducing the stress on your servers.

[omargits]

is any update about installer? i am still facing the same issue. any one can help me for installing drupal console on windows please

[yuseferi]

Sounds like the problem is with the installer itself

php -r "readfile('https://drupalconsole.com/installer');" > drupal.phar
PHP Warning:  readfile(https://drupalconsole.com/installer): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
 in Command line code on line 1

Error: Server Error
