PHP Fatal error when installing sample data

[AreDubya]

Hello,

I have tried a few times to install the sample data, but I get the same error each time :

Choose a magento version: 13
Enter installation folder: [./magento]./

• Installing magento-mirror-1.9.3.1 (1.9.3.1)

• Installing sample-data-1.9.2.4 (1.9.2.4)
  Loading from cache
  PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 18446744073709543424 bytes) in phar:///usr/local/bin/n98-magerun.phar/vendor/composer/composer/src/Composer/Downloader/TarDownloader.php on line 28

That's a pretty huge attempted allocation. I have 1024M as the memory_limit, but that won't cut it with the 18,446 Petabyte allocation ; )

Any idea what would cause this?

Let me give this a try, I have to see it myself first.

Can reproduce at exactly the same place. I've bee running the following command:

bin/n98-magerun install --magentoVersionByName=magento-mirror-1.9.3.1 \
  --installationFolder=magento/reproduce --dbHost=localhost --dbUser=root --dbPass="" \
  --dbName="magento_magerun_reproduce" --installSampleData=1

Error message is the same:

PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of -1 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 18446744073709543424 bytes) in /home/ktomk/PhpstormProjects/build-mageruns/n98-magerun/vendor/composer/composer/src/Composer/Downloader/TarDownloader.php on line 28

That line is the creation of a PharData:

$archive = new \PharData($file);

The $file tar.gz file in question that is causing this is:

• URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mageloads/files/assets/1.9.2.4/magento-sample-data-1.9.2.4.tar.gz
• SHASUM: `5ad29dc3df38d21b2407c49f66d5308b01961d60

I could isolate the error to that single ctor call:

php -r '$p = new PharData($argv[1]);' -- magento/reproduce/_temp_demo_data/72bcbbbcd05e71c17fda65a84e262ad5.gz 

It takes a short moment until it crashes.

Making use of the zip-file instead of the tar.gz file does not help either, with the zipfile at the same place the following error is:

[UnexpectedValueException]
phar error: end of central directory not found in zip-based phar "/home/ktomk/PhpstormProjects/build-mageruns/n98-magerun/magento/reproduce/_temp_demo_data/6c2
69b1264fe1e32b8248abfa052aa09.zip"

That signals an error in the zip-file, which is easily confirmed:

$ unzip -t magento-sample-data-1.9.2.4.zip 
Archive:  magento-sample-data-1.9.2.4.zip
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of magento-sample-data-1.9.2.4.zip or
        magento-sample-data-1.9.2.4.zip.zip, and cannot find magento-sample-data-1.9.2.4.zip.ZIP, period.

That test reminds me to verify the tar.gz file as well:

$ tar -tzf magento-sample-data-1.9.2.4.tar.gz >/dev/null

gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Looks like the files provided from magento.com are invalid:

5ad29dc3df38d21b2407c49f66d5308b01961d60  magento-sample-data-1.9.2.4-2016-10-11-07-38-13.tar.gz

Wouldn't be the first time. However I also suspect an issue upstream in PharData perhaps worth to report (/e 73719).

[ktomk]

We believe that the bug reported is fixed in the stable version. It can be upgraded to it using the self-update command. The first stable version with this fix is 1.97.27.
