[generalredneck]

On all our builds that are running cimg/7.4. As of the latest build at https://hub.docker.com/layers/cimg/php/7.4.26/images/sha256-09ed3c06a99cd18b63bfc3d7a6bef226b070013079b3dff2d1e143b674290b4c
Composer no longer seems to think GD is installed.

on 7.4.26

For those having this issue... You may be able:

• to go the route described in Docker build on circle CI failed: cannot create /conf.d/docker-php-ext-mcrypt.ini: Directory nonexistent docker-library/php#750 (comment) with sudo -E docker-php-ext-install gd.
• You can pin to cimg/php:7.4.24 or depending on what's failing...
• doing something like composer install --ignore-platform-req=ext-gd which was the case for some of our static testing jobs.

It looks like we can trace it back to this commit.

You're using a testing image at the moment. Please see #126 . I've already got this fix for this queued up so the next image update for 7.4.26 (soon, today) will include gd. I'm gathering the feedback from a few other things first before I go ahead and publish.

[generalredneck]

Ok, using the PHP circle orb (or for most people) using the dockerimage cimg/php:7.4 will have downloaded this version. I don't know how to continue to get the updates and avoid testing images like todays. having CI just fail randomly across all our clients was pretty hard core...

[FelicianoTech]

Here's my thoughts:

1. Don't use an alias tag (such as :7.4) as those tags can (and are designed to) change. I would use a specific PHP version tag, such as :7.4.26.
2. This type of image publish is very rare. This happened for a few new versions of PHP currently because we're having problems with the build process for this image that we need to fix moving forward.
3. In 2022, we going to introduce a completely different Docker Hub namespace for testing images to prevent this from happening. Right now we only have the single namespace to test.

I hope that helps with your confidence in the image publishing process.

[generalredneck]

Thank you tons for the work and the quick feedback!

[FelicianoTech]

The image cimg/php:7.4.25 should be updated by now and cimg/php:7.4.26 in the near future once I get it reviewed and merged.

[FelicianoTech]

Newer tags published with the new PHP should all be ready within 30 minutes or so. I'll leave this Issue open until early next week to give some time for confirmation.

[FelicianoTech]

This issue should be resolved as of a few days ago. If it's not, please report it in #126 if it's still open. Otherwise, a new Issue. For the record, gd as well as many other extensions where compiled in with this process so I assume we have the basics covered now.

Thank you for reporting.
