Silent Composer install not working with patches

[mdjdev]

Hi,

the patching gets stuck in my setup on composer i. I'm not sure if it's a problem with my patch or a config which I didn't set correctly.

The command composer -vv i gives me a hint what the problem is:

> post-package-install: cweagans\Composer\Patches->postInstall
  - Applying patches for jackalope/jackalope-doctrine-dbal
    patches/jackalope-jackalope-doctrine-dbal-src-jackalope-transport-doctrinedbal-repositoryschema-php.patch (Set `path` length to 255 in table `phpcr_nodes`)

This is my patch:

         $nodes->addColumn('local_name', 'string', ['length' => $this->getMaxIndexLength()]);
         $nodes->addColumn('namespace', 'string', ['length' => $this->getMaxIndexLength()]);

How can I avoid these prompts?

I think your patch is wrong. Your patch is specifically saying that it's creating a new file (--- /dev/null at the top), but the patch itself is modifying an existing file. That's really strange. How did you generate this patch?

Thanks for the hint. I used the tool linked below to generate the patch and will have a look to see if i used it incorrectly.

Sounds good -- closing this out for now, but we can re-open if needed.
