Yup, 7.5.2 fixes it - super speedy as always!

Hello @ahnlak,

Thanks for the report. Could you give me more details about the context?

In fact the Symfony/Intl component is used by Twig/Extra extension and more precisely by the format_date filter: do you use it?

So the problem is that the Symfony/Intl layer works only with the "en" locale... In the case of another locale, PHP ext-intl is required (see https://php.net/intl.setup).

from cecil.

Sure; clean Ubuntu 20.04 install, and apt install php, which installs PHP 7.4.3.

Clean copy of Cecil (7.5.0), as per the quickstart.

Running cecil.phar new:site will complain about a couple of PHP packages missing (gd, simplexml), but runs fine once those are installed.

Running cecil.phar build will fail with the error mentioned above (I'm guessing the default new site stuff includes some date formatting?) - installing intl (apt install php-intl) resolves it and allows the build to complete.

It probably only came up because I never happened to need intl installed on my dev box; until I tested on a clean Ubuntu, I hadn't realised that other packages are explicitly checked for (gd et al) so perhaps the intl requirement can be added there?

OK, I see what's happening: the Intl extension is only required if you need to format a date (format_date filter) with a locale different from "en".
So, basically, I tested if the class \Locale was available (that mean Intl extension is loaded) but... Symfony/Intl implement this class, but this class is not really implemented 🙃

I'm working on a better way to know if the Intl extension is available or not.

@ahnlak, could you try the last release please (7.5.2, php cecil.phar self-update) ?

from cecil.

Great! :-)
