Description
Description
The pecl.installed state fails behind a proxy server.
This could be mitigated with different aproaches (see below).
Setup
Sample state:
install-php-yaz:
pecl.installed:
- name: yaz
- defaults: true
Steps to Reproduce the behavior
Run a pecl.installed stated on a server behind a proxy-server.
This is a sample log output from /var/log/salt/minion:
2020-10-02 16:42:50,842 [salt.loaded.int.module.cmdmod:854 ][ERROR ][2412048] Command 'yes '' | pecl -d preferred_state=stable install yaz' failed with return code: 1
2020-10-02 16:42:50,843 [salt.loaded.int.module.cmdmod:856 ][ERROR ][2412048] stdout: Connection to `ssl://pecl.php.net:443' failed: Connection timed out
2020-10-02 16:42:50,843 [salt.loaded.int.module.cmdmod:860 ][ERROR ][2412048] retcode: 1
2020-10-02 16:42:50,844 [salt.loaded.int.module.pecl:55 ][ERROR ][2412048] Problem running pecl. Is php-pear installed?
Expected behavior
It is possible to install pecl packages behind a proxy.
A solution could be to create an option for pecl.installed to pass "-c " to pecl.
This config-file could then contain a proxy-server setting.
Another way could be to use pecl config-set http_proxy just before the pecl install command.
Workaround
The following can be used as workaround. Just do it with cmd.run, as pecl.installed would do.
pear_proxy_config:
file.managed:
- name: /tmp/pearrc
- contents:
- '#PEAR_Config 0.9'
- 'a:2:{s:10:"__channels";a:3:{s:5:"__uri";a:0:{}s:11:"doc.php.net";a:0:{}s:12:"pecl.php.net";a:0:{}}s:10:"http_proxy";s:42:"http://<proxy-server>:<port>";}'
install-php-yaz:
cmd.run:
- name: yes "" | pecl -c /tmp/pearrc install yaz
- unless:
- "pecl list | grep yaz"
- require:
- pear_proxy_config

Research direction
Start with the pecl.installed state implementation and trace how it builds and runs the pecl install command. Reproduce the proxy failure using the supplied state and compare the -c configuration-file and config-set approaches; done means PECL packages can be installed through a proxy with a documented, tested option.
