Phalcon 4 dev tools cannot generate controller

did you move /app/config/config.php?

What is your Phalcon version?

I did not move any files.

What is your Phalcon version? Phalcon 4.x

check the phalcon version used in php CLI

php -r "var_dump(Phalcon\Version::get());"

4.0.2

sorry for the late response

i'm actually using v3 at the moment and i had to match your environment and i was using osx at first and then i had another crack at it with another device which was windows and finally i got the same exception

it is a bug on windows environment

file: src/Builder/Path.php line: 63

change it to

if (preg_match('/config\.php$/i', $f->getPathName())) {

or

if (preg_match('/config\.php$/i', $f->getFilename())) {

What a great and, of course, well written post. It`s so useful…

I am having the same issue and this did not help.

I am getting this message when trying to create a new controller:

Phalcon DevTools (4.0.3) Error: Builder can't locate the configuration file

or

if (preg_match('/config\.php$/i', $f->getFilename())) {

the issue is as the exception says which is it can't locate config.php / config.ini

check the file mentioned before src/Builder/Path.php method: getConfig()

you can debug and use breakpoints or just dump $f->getPathName() inside the iterator

if you saw the config.php there your issue would be the regex doesnt match your config.php and therefore it can't locate it

i did open an issue regarding this matter #1426

Can you describe with some more detail what I should do to get the regex to match my config.php?

did you install phalcon devtools globally ( composer global require phalcon/devtools ) ?

add this line after foreach ($iterator as $f) { line#62

var_dump($f->getPathName());

and check if the config.php does show up there your issue is in the regex on line#63

if not the issue would the path where you invoked phalcon devtools from

it should go like this:

C:\wamp\www\devtools_test
λ phalcon4 controller tester

  Error: Builder can't locate the configuration file

then went and removed var_dump($f->getPathName()); and changed line#63 to

if (preg_match('/config\.php$/i', $f->getFilename())) {

the result:

C:\wamp\www\devtools_test
λ phalcon4 controller tester

Phalcon DevTools (4.0.3)

  Success: Controller "tester" was successfully created.

  Info: C:\wamp\www\devtools_test\app\controllers\TesterController.php

Thank you for your answer. I re-installed devtools by using ( composer global require phalcon/devtools ). Where can I find the config.php now? Since I have installed devtools via the composer do I still need to do something with the batch file or the windows environment?

i don't think you needed to install it globally but since you did you need to choose which one you prefer and remove the other one

what i mean by the other one is the one you had you issue with

i suggest you uninstall the global one and stick with your previous one

the config.php should be in phalcon_dir/app/config/

and you have to use phalcon devtools while you are in your phalcon project directory

I removed the old one before I installed with composer. Sorry i did not mean where I can find the config file but the src/Builder/Path.php file so I can change line #63. So to be clear, when I install the devtools with the composer where does the path.php file go?

it should be in C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\phalcon

OK it worked, thank you.

1. open file in C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\phalcon\devtools\src\Builder\Path.php

2. edit function setRootPath : if($path) $this->rootPath = rtrim(str_replace('/', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $path), '\/') . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR; else $this->rootPath = realpath('.') . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

3. save it.

it's work for me.
