php-android-cli's Issues

Directory creation not working in Linux

When the app creates the files it doesn't create a proper directory, it just generates individual files with the names of the paths they are supposed to be in,names such as "Project\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml".

Edit: I used the latest release phar file. I think latest changes in your code are not reflected in your latest release.

Errors using php-android-cli on fedora linux

I tried to use the project but encountered the following errors:

# Downloaded phpandroid.phar put in a folder inside $PATH and made it executable
$ phpandroid.phar create NewPipeC org.schabi.newpipe
/usr/bin/env: ‘php\r’: No such file or directory

After some googling I found this SO answer so I did:

$ tr -d '\15' < phpandroid.phar > phpandroid
$ chmod u+x phpandroid

and tried again:

$ phpandroid create NewPipeC org.schabi.newpipe
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught PharException: phar "/home/iolaum/.local/bin/phpandroid" SHA1 signature could not be verified: broken signature in /home/iolaum/.local/bin/phpandroid:4
Stack trace:
#0 /home/iolaum/.local/bin/phpandroid(4): Phar::mapPhar()
#1 {main}
  thrown in /home/iolaum/.local/bin/phpandroid on line 4

at which point I gave up.

The backslash directory separator seems doesn't work well

The backslash directory separator seems doesn't work well on linux. It created folder named as it is instead of make dir inside the project folder etc.

shebang incorrect in v1.0.0 causes CLI console error

The latest release v1.0.0 causes a console error when trying to run phpandroid.phar

I downloaded the latest release, and placed it in /usr/bin as phpandroid, then tried to run it in a bash shell:

    noscere@bertram:~$ phpandroid
    /usr/bin/env: ‘php\r’: No such file or directory

A simple hexedit of the phpandroid.phar shows that the hashbang/shebang line has windows type file endings 0D0A /r/n (instead of just 0A or /n) and so it is interpretting the shebang as #!/usr/bin/env/php\r instead of #!/usr/bin/env php.

Unfortunately (for me) I couldn't just hexedit the line ending, changing it to 0A0A (cannot remove a byte, only change it, so effectively this adds a blank line with a unix line-ending character) because that breaks the SHA1 file signature.

I also tried to phar extract the archive and re-pack it with phar pack -b '#!/usr/bin/env php' -f phpandroid.phar * but this does not even insert a shebang at all? (again, viewing with hexedit shows no shebang where there should be one). In the end I downloaded the source and re-compiled my own binary using cd tasks && php generate_phar.php, which added the shebang correctly formatted with proper line ending.

For curiosity-sake, I delved into the code of phar.phar; the section which adds/modifies the hashbang is adding '/n' to the line if a new-line is not present; so I can only assume that the release was built on a windows machine and the /usr/bin/env php line at the top of stub.php had the wrong line ending?
