4.4.10 → 5.0.1 fails because Symfony Path is not fount in ParameterLoader.php

Your software
My Mautic version is: 4.10 → 5.0.1
My PHP version is:

PHP 8.1.27 (cli) (built: Dec 19 2023 20:35:55) (NTS gcc x86_64)
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.1.27, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.1.27, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies

Your problem

I tried to update from 4.10 to 5.0.1.

mautic:update:apply --finish results in an error because
the class Symfony\Component\Filesystem\Path
is not found in CoreBundle/Loader/ParameterLoader.php:198

$ php bin/console mautic:update:find
Version 5.0.1 of Mautic is available for download. Please visit https://github.com/mautic/mautic/releases/tag/5.0.1 for more information.
To update, you can run 'php bin/console mautic:update:apply' from the command line.

$ php bin/console mautic:update:apply
Are you sure you wish to update Mautic to the latest version? y
Step    7 [------->--------------------] Clearing the cache

<warning>IMPORTANT: Run the same command again with --finish. For example 'php bin/console mautic:update:apply --finish'</warning>

The update itself went through, but finishing it results in an exception being thrown:

$ php bin/console mautic:update:apply --finish
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Class "Symfony\Component\Filesystem\Path" not found in .../mautic/docroot/app/bundles/CoreBundle/Loader/ParameterLoader.php:198

Steps I have tried to fix the problem:

  • cleared the cache rm -rf ./docroot/var/cache/*

Any help is much appreciated.

Since you have your Mautic installation in the docroot directory, didn’t you install Mautic via Composer? If so, you should use composer to update Mautic.

The problem isn’t in the code itself, but it seems your Mautic installation is missing this file:

vendor/symfony/filesystem/Path.php

Can you check if it exists in your filesystem?

Installed it via composer create-project mautic/recommended-project:^4

Next embarrasment: How?

I’ve got this issue while updating from 4.4 to 5.0 (after updated from php 7.4 to php 8.0.3)
Someone knows the solution?

You can also try re-running composer require with an explicit version constraint, e.g. "composer require mautic/grapes-js-builder-bundle:*" to figure out if any version is installable, or "composer require mautic/grapes-js-builder-bundle:^2.1" if you know which you need.

PS Manually removed the citrix plugin, before trying to update using the verbose package list.

@peter_k can you try following steps?
If they work, we will add them to the Mautic update docs.

  • create a backup of the composer.json file (or use your VCS system)
  • execute following commands to update the dependencies in your project.
# remove obsolete themes and plugins
composer remove mautic/theme-nature mautic/theme-mauve mautic/theme-coffee mautic/plugin-citrix

# replace the requirements of all mautic specified dependencies
sed -i -E 's/(    "mautic\/.*": ")4\.4\.10"/\1^5.0"/' composer.json

# update the overwritten repositories
composer config repositories.0 git https://github.com/mautic/FOSOAuthServerBundle.git
composer config repositories.1 git https://github.com/mautic/SpBundle.git
composer config repositories.2 git https://github.com/mautic/SymfonyBridgeBundle.git
  • review the changes in the composer.json and adjust if needed
  • run composer update --update-with-all-dependencies to run the update

Gotchas / Issues

  • Mautic deleted MTCDIR/docroot/app/config/local.php
    • I guess some script is supposed to move it from MTCDIR/docroot/app/config/local.php to MTCDIR/config/local.php, but this doesn’t happen.
    • Solution: back it up and add it before running mautic:update:apply --finish
  • The composer post-update scripts don’t get added.
    • Solution: Add this to your composer.json
  "scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": [
      "@npm-ci",
      "@npx-patch-package",
      "@generate-assets"
    ],
    "post-update-cmd": [
      "@npm-ci",
      "@npx-patch-package",
      "@generate-assets"
    ],

    "npx-patch-package": "npx patch-package",
    "generate-assets": "php bin/console mautic:assets:generate"
  },
  • Run npm install afterwards

I expect, there could be/are still things missing—I just didn’t run into them, yet.

Thanks for your help!

@peter_k

thanks for your detailed steps, they make sense indeed.
I’ll work on a PR to get the combined info into the user docs
