Shield - Problems on first setup - missing files

Hi,

after some trouble (caused by my less understandings of some technical thinks) i've installed codeigniter4/appstarter by composer.

After that i installed shield by composer

Here is the log of the last parts

After all, i see in my database some new "auth_"-tables.

If if look into the app/Controller folder - i miss all files about the authentification part for example "ActionController, LoginController, RegisterController..."
Also in App/views is only the error-folder and the welcome-message files. I think there must be much more files for example "login, register etc"

Why this files not in my folders, normaly this files should copy by installtion with the composer or am i wrong?

It seems that all the files from the shield-package are not copied to my folder!?

What i do wrong and what i should do now?

They are not copied, they stay in the shield/src/Controllers folder.

They have Routes setup for them.

you should be able to just type register to register a new users, login to login.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

I've check my folder, but there is no "shield" folder.

To take care, that i understand the process correctly, normaly if i install via composer, it should create this folder and download all files, or not?

At the moment i cannot do anything - only the welcomepage is avivable..

looking at composer.phar it looks like you downloaded it manually ; i wonder where it is ? what do you get if you run :

Code:

[andrew@darkstar ~]$ which composer
/usr/bin/composer

I'm wondering about PATH , take this the +ve way , its only cause on another question i answered it was about PATH problems. To get composer to be used by system globally either install using package manager or , lets say composer.phar is on your Desktop:

Code:

[andrew@darkstar Desktop]$
sudo chmod a+x  composer.phar
sudo mv   composer.phar      /usr/bin/composer

a+x will give it chmod permission to run ; the mv renames it from composer.phar to just composer; and moves it to /usr/bin
Then after that you should get output just using :

Code:

[andrew@darkstar Desktop]$ composer-V
bash: composer-V: command not found
[andrew@darkstar Desktop]$ composer -V
Composer version 2.8.2 2024-10-29 16:12:11

when you run set up command for spark make sure, you are at document root for your web application

Hi, captain-sensible.

First of all, I would like to briefly say that I am very grateful that you help me understand things, which have much more to do with fundamental topics (because I'm currently trying to familiarize myself with all the different topics) than with direct questions about Codeigniter

So at first i've setup my configuration, so basicly the php version 8.2 is now the default version.

Here is the requestet info about composer version
"Composer version 2.8.3 2024-11-17 13:13:04"

Result of diagnose
"Composer version: 2.8.3
PHP version: 8.2.25
PHP binary path: /usr/local/php82/bin/php

curl version: 7.74.0 libz 1.2.11 ssl OpenSSL/1.1.1w
zip: extension present, unzip present, 7-Zip not available"

After that i delete all files in my project folder, uplode the composer.phar and add codeigniter4/appstarter see:
" php composer.phar create-project codeigniter4/appstarter

Now i see, that there is a new subfolder named "appstarter" - i think i need it into the root folder - how i can change it on installation command?

So i've put all content of the "appstarter"folder into my root folder.

After that i installed shield by this: " php composer.phar require codeigniter4/shield

./composer.json has been updated
