Failed to assign arg @list: line: 121 during php artisan basset:build #223

hanneskaljuste · 2013-10-14T18:55:15Z

Got that error, did everything according to instructions.

andrew13 · 2013-10-14T20:27:31Z

What version of php are you on? What type of OS? Also seems to be a basset issue, not a starter site issue.

hanneskaljuste · 2013-10-14T20:31:58Z

Thanks for quick reply.
I tried it on my Linux (php 5.4.9) and Mac (php 5.4.19) and got both same result.
I'm not very at home with less, but i started digging and got compile success when i commented out some twbs .less files. So yes, seems it's not starter site bug, but i would really like to get it working. Will research some more.
Thanks for the great project!

kevincompton · 2013-10-14T20:34:32Z

I'm getting this same exact error so it's definitely a bug, I'll check on basset for a fix in the meantime the documentation here could include a workaround.

andrew13 · 2013-10-14T20:48:46Z

I do believe there's an issue here, not sure at the moment what it is. I don't have time to dig for it at the moment, but if you figure out a proper workaround let me know and I'll include it in the docs.

kevincompton · 2013-10-14T21:05:37Z

working on it, it's pretty confusing but clearly a basset issue - or the use of basset in this app

madil4 · 2013-10-14T21:17:54Z

same issue with me too..on windows with wamp 2.4 !!

kevincompton · 2013-10-14T21:19:32Z

is there a way to bypass this functionality? It's completely halted any development using this starter site. Can't even get views to load

hanneskaljuste · 2013-10-14T21:22:32Z

OK i got it: http://raffworks.com/laravel-4-assets-basset-less-part-1/ and the line is : 'Less' => array('LessphpFilter', function($filter). You need to set Basset to use lessphp. But now i have another error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth::check(), but i think i can manage with that.
Good luck guys!

hanneskaljuste · 2013-10-14T21:29:03Z

Well, actually, not getting error anymore, but :
Starting development build...
Gathering all collections to build...

[application] Stylesheets build was not required for collection.
[application] Javascripts build was not required for collection.

Style and JS not compiling. Any idea anyone?

kevincompton · 2013-10-14T21:29:04Z

For me the lessphp filter was already in place. What I did different was publish the settings doing: php artisan config:publish jasonlewis/basset

Now I can run build, however using: php artisan basset:build

I get the following:

[application] Stylesheets build was not required for collection.
[application] Javascripts build was not required for collection.

So my project has no style or js.

madil4 · 2013-10-14T22:33:46Z

the css & js will not load because the basset config file changed from the starter that came with.........will dig further & see what we can get

hanneskaljuste · 2013-10-14T22:35:49Z

Yes, also there. Change in config 'collection' => 'application' to 'public' and/or 'admin' and then basset:build public / basset:build admin. Then you'll get it to compile. But jquery is missing, so js is not working, but managed to get styles. Also build path to assets/compiled.

kevincompton · 2013-10-14T22:40:48Z

i don't follow, still no assets

kevincompton · 2013-10-14T22:41:44Z

is this all necessary? I'd be fine with hardcoding the assets and compiling less files myself. Where can I grab them and how could I gut this feature?

hanneskaljuste · 2013-10-14T22:44:07Z

I believe less files are a part of twbs (under vendors). Take a look at /public/css/less/master.less. I guess you could manually compile from that.

kevincompton · 2013-10-14T22:46:56Z

hmm ya would be nice to get this working.

I tried changing the collection name in config to public and do the build and I get the same result:

[public] Stylesheets build was not required for collection.
[public] Javascripts build was not required for collection.

hanneskaljuste · 2013-10-14T22:48:04Z

Here is my config, it should work:

As // with the above directories we'll apply the CoffeeScript filter to the directory // so the built collection contains valid JS. $directory = $collection->directory('assets/js', function($collection) { $collection->requireDirectory('coffeescripts')->apply('CoffeeScript'); $collection->requireDirectory(); }); $directory->apply('JsMin'); }, 'admin' => function($collection) { // Switch to the stylesheets directory and require the "less" and "sass" directories. // These directories both have a filter applied to them so that the built // collection will contain valid CSS. $directory = $collection->directory('assets/css', function($collection) { $collection->requireDirectory('less')->apply('Less'); $collection->requireDirectory('sass')->apply('Sass'); $collection->requireDirectory(); }); $directory->apply('CssMin'); $directory->apply('UriRewriteFilter'); // Switch to the javascripts directory and require the "coffeescript" directory.

kevincompton · 2013-10-14T22:50:37Z

bingo, must be something else that was different in mine somehow. Thanks!

hanneskaljuste · 2013-10-14T22:53:11Z

But it still acts weird. Be sure to compile both.(admin and public). I still have not managed to get the navigation menu working. I think it's too late today, maybe tomorrow.

kevincompton · 2013-10-14T22:55:58Z

ya I'm where you are. Added Jquery to the head and it got me a bunch more errors. Loosing patience with this as a shortcut to starting from scratch. :-/

I temporarily replaced grid.less with latest grid.less downloaded from Bootstrap site, and got successful loading.

no luck with this file https://raw.github.com/twbs/bootstrap/master/less/grid.less
put it in the vendor folder

kevincompton · 2013-10-15T20:32:54Z

Decided to move forward without this starter. It's a good project though
keep it up!

jmmoody · 2013-10-15T22:17:14Z

I am having the same issue with the latest code also. When I modify the basset/config.php file per iiker's suggestion "Less' => array('LessphpFilter', function($filter). You need to set Basset to use lessphp." it does fix the basset generation issue but now it looks like there is no CSS formatting going on. Also for some reason it seems to be pulling in the tooltip.js file in the wrong order as I receive the error Uncaught Error: Popover requires tooltip.js on most pages. Looking at the page source the generated code looks like this

As you can see the tooltip.js file is included after the popover.js file. I believe that tooltip.js needs to be include before the popover.js.

Looks like this is getting generated in alphabetical order which just seems wrong as you sometimes need some control on the order that these assets get generated in.

The Gruntfile.js file in twbs/bootstrap/ seems to have the javascript files in the correct order as per here

bootstrap: {
        src: [
          'js/transition.js',
          'js/alert.js',
          'js/button.js',
          'js/carousel.js',
          'js/collapse.js',
          'js/dropdown.js',
          'js/modal.js',
          'js/tooltip.js',
          'js/popover.js',
          'js/scrollspy.js',
          'js/tab.js',
          'js/affix.js'
        ],
        dest: 'dist/js/<%= pkg.name %>.js'

I have an earlier version of the starter site installed and it seems to work fine except for the tooltip.js issue. Looks like I downloaded that some time around 9/6/2013. I will do some comparison on the various config files to see if I can see if that is the issue. And I will also attempt to find out the various version of the software that I have installed in each system.

Let me know if anyone needs more information.

nzram · 2013-10-15T23:19:37Z

I use grid.less Bootstrap Team put at http://getbootstrap.com/ (https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/archive/v3.0.0.zip). The version included in the starter has mixins that caused this issue.

raykwok · 2013-10-16T07:49:34Z

Same issue for me

Seb7 · 2013-10-16T08:42:08Z

Same here: Failed to assign arg @list: line: 121
open: C:**_\htdocs*_\vendor\leafo\lessphp\lessc.inc.php

I'm on windows 7, PHP Version 5.4.7 .

It's unusable because of this.

Also the old issue still seems to be unresolved or at least it appear so.
#133

I am thankful for this starter but what use it is if it can't be used. I already had to use different starter for 3 projects and I would really like to use this one.I was hoping that months latter it would work nicely but no luck :(

It seems that basset is causing a lot of problems - is it possible to ditch it and replace it with something better? It looks like in both of cases it is a basset issue! Thanks.

autoferrit · 2013-10-16T08:51:01Z

I can confirm that the comment by @nzram worked. I pulled the zip from https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/archive/v3.0.0.zip and replaced all the less files with the ones from the zip file, and everything worked.

Seb7 · 2013-10-16T09:00:34Z

@luckysmack I just tried it and you are right - this fixes this issue. Thanks @nzram .

Now #133 still remains, I'll see if any of offered solutions will work.

Edit, both issues are solved for me now:

Time out on windows (why is http: not used? Why does url start with just // ?):
#148 (comment)

Failed to assign arg @list: line: 121 during php artisan basset:build
#223 (comment)

teodorsandu · 2013-10-16T13:21:01Z

It works!!
I confirm @nzram and @luckysmack solution.
I replaced the content of
C:/wamp/www/Laravel-4-Bootstrap-Starter-Site-master/vendor/twbs/bootstrap/less
with
bootstrap-3.0.0.zip/bootstrap-3.0.0/less/
thank you

ivicatadic · 2013-10-16T16:45:07Z

I can confirm, even though I actually replaced entire twbs bootstrap with the 'official' one - all works just fine.

Cheers,
Ivica

michaeldyrynda · 2013-10-18T00:53:27Z

Yep, thanks @nzram - that worked a charm!

andrew13 · 2013-10-18T01:24:05Z

So is the solution to just put twitter bootstrap in the project instead of using the composer version?

ivicatadic · 2013-10-18T09:08:07Z

IMHO, yup :)

Thanks @nzram - that fixes the basset compiling issue.. but still don't have any css formatting... not sure what that is about...

jmmoody · 2013-10-19T05:44:29Z

Ok Figured out the CSS issue.. forgot to change back the less filter alias to LessphpFilter.. everything is now back to normal THANKS!!!!!

nightowl77 · 2013-11-03T19:01:54Z

Got this same issue today. TWBS was updated to 3.0.1 four days ago.

A solution that worked for me was to change the version in composer to "3.0.0" instead of "3.0.*"

"require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
        "twbs/bootstrap":  "3.0.0",

rhyslbw · 2013-11-04T03:32:59Z

Can confirm the workaround provided by @nightowl77

Any progress on a fix?
