GeoIP Configuration "Download Library" button fails on Magento 2.3.1

[Hailong]

It fails when unzipping the downloaded GeoLite2-City.tar.gz because the phar wrapper is unregistered in the beginning of /app/bootstrap.php script. The code snippet is below:

<?php
/**
 * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */

/**
 * Environment initialization
 */
error_reporting(E_ALL);
stream_wrapper_unregister('phar');
#ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Can't download file. Please try again! RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct(): Unable to find the wrapper "phar" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?

My current workaround for this issue is to use a package named Zippy, while a problem of this package is that we need to take its master branch at this moment, because its latest release branch doesn't work for me. Here is the code change for reference.

Also experiencing this on 2.2.8

Please try to edit the unregister 'phar' to
#stream_wrapper_unregister('phar');
Then let's try to download the Geo IP library.

You can remove the # symbol after downloading successfully.

Hi @DrakeJack , since Magento had decide to unregister it in there code, I mean if we could fix it from the module code?

As I mentioned, I just tried Zippy, and it works fine for me.

The latest version of Zippy didn't work for me. I just used shell_exec() to unzip the file. I know it's not a very good solution, but it works.

You can tag 2.3.2 with the same issue.

[itsolon]

can confirm problem on 2.3.2 with 1.0.4

[rav-redchamps]

using below code

stream_wrapper_restore('phar');

just above line# 95 [$phar = new \PharData($path . '/GeoLite2-City.tar.gz');] of file Controller/Adminhtml/System/Config/Geoip.php will solve the problem.

I want to create pull request for this change but unfortunately, this module asks for 2 other modules Mageplaza_Core & Mageplaza_Backend to run and I couldn’t find those modules.
