Good catch
I tried on three servers with different providers and I see now it is disabed on all of them
and on the windows machine nothing is disabled and it still fails
Because on Windows symlinks are different and the symlink method only works on Unixoids?
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.symlink.php .. should work on Windows, too, I just see.
Hmm, a comment there says:
Symlinks on windows are created by Symlink() which accept only absolute paths but not relative paths .relative paths on windows are not supported for symlinks
Symlinks on windows are created by Symlink() which accept only absolute paths but not relative paths
@richard67 the code is already converting the (possible) relative paths to absolute:
Maybe there's a need to use DIRECTORY_SEPERATOR instead of /, but not on windows so can't really test it
Windows requires admin privileges to create the symlink.
Windows requires admin privileges to create the symlink.
Maybe it does but it still doesnt work on linux.
Call to undefined function Joomla\CMS\Helper\symlink()
The actual problem is that symlink is disabled in php on the server and as of php 8.0 the error message does not indicate that the function is disabled but says it is undefined
Reference php watch
As @Fedik says
Simlink function is disabled on your server.
I think the CLI script should check availability of it, it may be disabled on many other servers.
