My builds keep failing when it attempts to set the PHP version. I get a message that says “Looks like we had a bug in our infrastructure…”, so is a possible Circle CI bug? Here is the action message when it fails: > /opt/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc: line 1: readlink: command not found > /home/ubuntu/.circlerc: line 47: phpenv: command not found > ((phpenv global “7.0.4”)) returned exit code 127((phpenv global “7.0.4”)) returned exit code 127 > Action failed: set php version to 7.0.4 And here is my circle.yml, if it helps: ```auto machine: timezone: America/Chicago php: version: 7.0.4 hosts: trackatron.dev: 127.0.0.1 environment: APP_ENV: circle APP_DEBUG: true DB_HOST: 127.0.0.1 DB_DATABASE: circle_test DB_USERNAME: ubuntu CACHE_DRIVER: file SESSION_DRIVER: file QUEUE_DRIVER: sync PATH: /home/ubuntu/bin, ~/.composer/vendor/bin dependencies: post: - composer global require "laravel/envoy=~1.0" - php artisan key:generate - php artisan migrate --seed general: branches: only: - master - develop deployment: production: branch: master commands: - envoy run deploy ``` ---

Hi, If you’re running on the Trusty container, can you try using PHP version 7.0.3 instead of 7.0.4 to see if that works? ---

Just tried 7.0.3, same problem: > /opt/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc: line 1: readlink: command not found > /home/ubuntu/.circlerc: line 47: phpenv: command not found > ((phpenv global “7.0.3”)) returned exit code 127((phpenv global “7.0.3”)) returned exit code 127 > Action failed: set php version to 7.0.3 ---

Hi Michelle, Sorry for the delay. I was running a bunch of test to figure out what the problem was here and I think I got it. It looks like when you set `PATH` in `circle.yml`, you’re killing something that is needed to properly load PHP. Based on the `circle.yml` snippet you provided above, I think I have a solution for you. If you’re on a Trusty container, please make the following two changes to the `machine` section: ```auto machine: php: version: 7.0.3 environment: PATH: "${PATH}:${HOME}/.composer/vendor/bin" ``` For Precise, the following is good: ```auto machine: php: version: 7.0.4 environment: PATH: "${PATH}:${HOME}/.composer/vendor/bin" ``` Let me know if that fixes the issue. Also, if this works for you I’ll be sure to update our documentation to making using the `PATH` variable clearer. ---

Awesome, that seems to have fixed it. Thanks for your help! 🙂 ---

I have the same error, but I don’t have PATH defined. ---

Hi, Can you please create a new topic then as this sounds like a different issue? circle.yml (without any sensitive info) and the error text would be helpful. Thanks. ---
