Getting "Uncaught Error: Class '\xPDO\Om\\xPDODriver' not found in .../xPDO/xPDO.php" on freshly downloaded install

Summary

I downloaded 3.0.1 and started a local installation on my Mac using XAMPP for PHP and MySQL. Things were fine until I reached the final stage, then I get the error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class '\xPDO\Om\\xPDODriver' not found in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/home-site/core/vendor/xpdo/xpdo/src/xPDO/xPDO.php:1899 Stack trace: #0 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/home-site/core/vendor/xpdo/xpdo/src/xPDO/xPDO.php(304): xPDO\xPDO->getDriver() #1 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/home-site/setup/includes/modinstall.class.php(473): xPDO\xPDO->__construct(NULL, NULL, NULL, Array, Array) #2 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/home-site/setup/includes/modinstall.class.php(177): modInstall->_connect(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, Array) #3 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/home-site/setup/includes/test/modinstalltest.class.php(516): modInstall->getConnection() #4 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/home-site/setup/includes/test/modinstalltest.class.php(53): modInstallTest->_checkDatabase() #5 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/home-site/setup/includes/modinstall.class.php(251): modInstallTest->run(NULL) #6 /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/home-site/setup/control in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/home-site/core/vendor/xpdo/xpdo/src/xPDO/xPDO.php on line 1899

Would anyone know what I should be doing?

Step to reproduce

Go through installation steps with 3.0.1 using XAMPP

Observed behavior

PHP error screen

Expected behavior

Usual MODX install

Environment

MODX 3.0.1, PHP 7.1.23

2

According to the download page the minimum required PHP version is 7.2.5.
Maybe try if it works with a newer version of XAMPP.

3

That error is also indicative of a corrupted config file (core/config/config.inc.php) - could certainly be that installing on 7.1 prevented that from being written correctly.

4

The setup should not have even allowed installation if it was running on anything < 7.2.5, according to the bootstrap code. :thinking:

5

Yes I saw that when I googled. It’s brand new file with nothing on it at this point.

6

Ended up deleting everything and starting again and it worked.

I guess a file become corrupted in extraction.
