bin/magento module:uninstall never completes

[andrew-smart]

I've tested this on a fresh 2.0.2 installation.

I installed a sample module of mine using composer and then afterwards ran bin/magento module:uninstall Smartie_SampleModule

This is the output;

Enabling maintenance mode
You are about to remove a module(s) that might have database data. Remove the database data manually after uninstalling, if desired.
Removing Smartie_SampleModule from module registry in database
Removing Smartie_SampleModule from module list in deployment configuration
Removing code from Magento codebase:

This is where it gets stuck. The module is removed from the composer.json file but it never gets removed from the vendor dir.

How long did you wait @andrew-smart?

[andrew-smart]

I ran another test and so far i have waited 30 minutes without any further output. Not sure how long i should wait but that seems quite excessive :)

[mazhalai]

@andrew-smart sorry for the delay, can you please give us more details about your env, like OS, and PHP version, so that we can try to reproduce this.

[paulerickson]

@andrew-smart : have you added any repositories to composer.json? I've seen this too, and my theory is that module:uninstall triggers composer update in another thread (or otherwise hides the output). Thus when composer prompts for credentials to our custom repo, it blocks, waiting on username and password from standard in, which magento never provides. An untested theory at this point; I don't really know what it does under the covers.

[mazhalai]

@andrew-smart closing this as non-responsive.

[andrew-smart]

@mazhalai My Apologies. I have not been getting updates from this ticket.
I run natively on mac osx with brew installed php 5.6.20 and mysql 5.6.27 with native apache.

@paulerickson Yes this is a custom repo. I built it to test the new uninstall scripts within modules. Your theory is quite interesting but not sure how I can test it.

Hi everyone

@paulerickson As you said , your theory is wright, it demand in background to enter your GitHub credentials to access private repos

This is what i get when i run the uninstall command line

Command "remove" failed: <warning>emizentech/shopbybrand is not required in your composer.json and has not been removed</warning>

Please disable maintenance mode after you resolved above issues

[mhabou]

The solution is to run : composer update in an other console

[gabriellucius]

I have the same problem here, I call the bin/magento module:uninstall module_name and the command prompt stops in "Removing code from Magento codebase" too.

Any sollutions or fixes discovered?

Obs: All the data to be uninstalled were uninstaled

[hostep]

Linking this thread to an issue I discovered last week, it might be the same problem: #5797

[twistedatrocity]

This should be reopened as it persists in 2.1.4. The workaround is Control-C on the command when it hangs at removing code, then run composer update, however this is not a solution. The module:uninstall should work properly otherwise why even have it?

So sick of issues like this in magento, I have a notepad filled with workarounds on things that should just work. Test your f'ing code better before releasing it. I'm starting to think CE is just a public beta for their money grab EE. About to recommend a different platform to all my clients. Fed up.

[akoslovasz]

I've done some debugging, and it seems the problem is with the Magento repository. When calling bin/magento module uninstall Vendor_Module, it calls composer remove in the background, and the method addRepository in Composer\DependencyResolver\Pool somehow gets into an infinite loop. Temporarily removing the Magento repository from composer.json fixes the problem. Anyway, a proper final solution would be useful.

[vasilii-b]

@Dayssam , yes, that solution works if you canceled the module:uninstall command previously.

[nickbartlett]

@mazhalai can this issue be re-opened please? We have the same issue as @andrew-smart initially described. Uninstalling a module will remove the entry from composer.json, and run the database uninstall scripts, but when it attempts to remove the code it hangs with message "removing code from Magento codebase:" . One thing to note is our module has its own composer.json file where it requires and installed another codebase.

As I see in vendor/magento/framework/Composer/Remove.php, Magento tries to run 'remove' composer command.
runComposerCommand() method can be found here: vendor/magento/composer/src/MagentoComposerApplication.php
it gets stuck on line $exitCode = $this->consoleApplication->run($input, $this->consoleOutput);

FYI manually executing the command "composer remove my/module" works successfully.

[andidhouse]

I this fixed in 2.1.7 or 2.1.8 @magento-team ?

[joaoasrosa]

@andidhouse I just try it on 2.1.8 and is not fixed.

[LucScu]

If this issue is not yet fixed, why is it signed as closed?

[Brigel]

Composer stoped in load data from repo.magento.com

My auth.json was not correct. This decision helped me

[pmonosolo]

Its 2020 and the issue is still there. Tested on 2.3.3 CE

[live4soccer7]

I'm on 2.3.5-p2 and the issue is still there.

[Jehangir-Wahid]

Hi all,

Thanks to @paulerickson and @Dayssam. Their debugging helped me fix this.

I found a solution or maybe a solution with limited scope. The following is my scenario.

• Developed a custom module.
• Created a git repo for it.
• Installed it by following this link.

Now here is my solution to Uninstall command issue

In my auth.json file, I added another object for my module's git repo and added the credentials just like we do for repo.magento.com. So, my auth.json file looks like the following now.

{
    "http-basic": {
        "repo.magento.com": {
            "username": "<public-key>",
            "password": "<private-key>"
        },
        "github.com/Jehangir-Wahid/<My-Repository-Name>": {
        	"username": "<my-github-username>",
        	"password": "<my-github-password>"
        }
    }
}

After setting it I ran php bin/magento module:uninstall Vendor_ModuleName command and it ran successfully with the following output.

You are about to remove code and/or database tables. Are you sure?[y/N]y
Maintenance mode already enabled
You are about to remove a module(s) that might have database data. Do you want to remove the data from database?[y/N]y

Maybe it helps some of you people.

[wb-magma]

I'm on 2.4.1 and the issue is still there.

[pbaum83]

Can confirm, running 2.4.1 also and this bug has been causing us some issues as well.

[live4soccer7]

How can we get this re-opened? It is definitely still an issue on 2.4.1. I have not tried it yet on 2.4.2.

[hostep]

It's probably worth opening a new ticket. Tickets which got closed 5 years ago often no longer get attention even if people continue to comment on them. So opening a new ticket with exact steps of how to reproduce is probably a better idea if you want to see a fix for this one day :)

[pmonosolo]

How can we get this re-opened? It is definitely still an issue on 2.4.1. I have not tried it yet on 2.4.2.
Just don't use the uninstall cli command. Many plugin vendors don't even write the Uninstall scripts.

From what I understand, uninstall scripts require rolling back all the data, deleting tables and so on. I would not recommend using it as Uninstall script is probably the last thing plugin devs look at if they do at all (I have yet to see a commercial plugin that has an uninstall script) .

Just go into your composer.json and remove the line for the plugin under "require" and then run composer update.

[tschallacka]

Magento calls composer in a self contained bufferedoutput, hiding all the output. This hides that it wants the authentication keys for repo.magento.com.

To solve this issue, in your root magento folder you need to add auth.json as a new file, by copying auth.json.sample.
Add your magento public key as username and your private key as password in the json.
Add auth.json to your .gitignore

Now run the command again. It should work now.

[Jehangir-Wahid]

Hi,

We can't wait for magento to solve this for us, as it is neglected for so long and we have to do it on our own.

@hostep @pbaum83 @wb-magma @live4soccer7 @tschallacka and @pmonosolo please refer to my solution posted here.

Maybe it helps you.

[tschallacka]

Well technically it isn't a problem.

I documented my research here: https://blog.tschallacka.de/2021/05/binmagento-moduleuninstall-never.html and technically this isn't a bug. It's listed un the pre-requisites that you need to create an auth.json

https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/install-gde/prereq/dev_install.html#authentication-file

So if you get this error, you basically skipped a step from he documentation.
They could do adding an error message though. I made a pull request for that here #32955

[dharake]

@tschallacka This did not work for me in 2.4.3 CE. So technically this is still very much a bug.

Hi there,

Please check each and every step mentioned in my solution. Most probably, you are missing something.

Thanks

[Henrik41]

It's 2023 and I have the same issue. I installed a module from a repo which is not mine. Impossible to move along and uninstall it as I get stuck at Removing code from Magento codebase:...

I tried to use the credential from Github but since the module that was taken from another repro it doesn't work!

Can't believe that I cannot remove a module just like that. Anyone has a solution to this?

[antonioste]

I remember the problem was caused by lack of credentials in a file. I put those of the market place and those of github, solving the problem. Focus your efforts on credentials speech Il giorno ven 7 apr 2023 alle ore 09:53 Henrik ***@***.***> ha scritto:
