How to install LanguageSupport via API?

[bernhard]

Hi everybody,

today I had a very hard time with the LanguageSupport module ? I tried a lot, but I can't get it to install via the API:

I've tried this:

$this->modules->install('LanguageSupport', ['force' => true]);

And this:

require_once($this->config->paths->modules . 'LanguageSupport/LanguageSupportInstall.php');
$ls = $this->wire(new LanguageSupportInstall());
$ls->install();

Both execute without an error, but when I visit the modules page, I get this:

No matter what I try, it will not install ? The weird thing is: If I install it manually by clicking the button, it works as expected.

Am I missing anything? I'm actually not doing anything different from here: https://github.com/processwire/processwire/blob/master/wire/modules/Process/ProcessModule/ProcessModule.module#L261-L275 (at least I think so)

Help would be greatly appreciated! Thx

Hey @bernhard - not sure but this is how I do it in the Migrator module:

https://github.com/adrianbj/ProcessMigrator/blob/eaf8255aded36033bcd468c59b235b9a0eb6b785/ProcessMigrator.module#L990

Not sure if "get" vs "install" works a little differently or not - been a while since I worked with this.

Here's another example from the VersionControlTests package: https://github.com/teppokoivula/VersionControlTests/blob/master/tests/VersionControlTest.php#L170:L179. It's in a PHPUnit test class so the syntax is a bit strange, but at least the last time I ran the tests this worked (though that was against PW 2.x.)

Thank you guys! Turns out that something in my database was messed up. I did a restore and $modules->install() is working as expected!
