Valet-plus: 1.0.13 : Unable to determine linked PHP

Created on 19 Apr 2018 · 2Comments · Source: weprovide/valet-plus

I was running on PHP 7.1, but then I wanted to switch to PHP 7.0. But when prompting for my password I changed my mind so I pressed Ctrl+C. Now when I'm trying to switch PHP versions, the following happens:

» valet use 7.0 -vvv                                                                                                    giel@Mac0025

In Brew.php line 255:

  [DomainException]
  Unable to determine linked PHP.

use [<phpVersion>]

I tried valet restart and valet fix but the problem persists...

@kanduvisla This can happen for a number of reasons. But the main one is that there was some error within the PHP installation you're switching to. Which will cause the linking of the php version you're switching to, to fail.

For most MacOS systems, when the linking fails you will revert to your native PHP version. Valet+ cannot determine the php version of a native system. You will need to manually relink to homebrew [email protected]. E.G: brew link [email protected] --force --overwrite.

Hm, I also seem to trigger this error when I make a type like valet use 7. for example. An exception gets thrown but the original link is not restored.

Is it safe to say that this is an issue where _"when a valet use-command fails it breaks valet+"_?
