symfony 3 knp paginator composer file not found

Question

I'm building a blog in symfony 3 and Sonata. I'd like to use knp paginator so I put that command :

require knplabs/knp-paginator-bundle

It gives me that error :

 PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4096 bytes) in 

phar:///usr/local/bin/composer.phar/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/Solver.php on line 220

So I did that :

php -d memory_limit=-1 composer require knplabs/knp-paginator-bundle

This gives me that :

 Could not open input file: composer 

If I just add the line in my composer.json and run composer update, it gives me the same error of size, if I add "php -d memory_limit = -1" it tells me "could not open input file : composer" I did not have this error before, I've already use that "php -d memory limit" and it worked fine, I don't know what to do anymore I need that paginator bundle for my project Does anybody have any ideas ?

Answer 1

This usually happen when you use a globally installed composer.phar files. So You should (1) locate the absolute path of the installed composer file then (2) use the absolute path in the php usage, as example:

 ~ ᐅ php -d memory_limit=-1 composer Could not open input file: composer ~ ᐅ which composer /usr/local/bin/composer ~ ᐅ php -d memory_limit=-1 /usr/local/bin/composer ______ / ____/___ ____ ___ ____ ____ ________ _____ / / / __ \\/ __ `__ \\/ __ \\/ __ \\/ ___/ _ \\/ ___/ / /___/ /_/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ (__ ) __/ / \\____/\\____/_/ /_/ /_/ .___/\\____/____/\\___/_/ /_/ Composer version 1.4.1 2017-03-10 09:29:45 

Hope this help
