[6.x]: Windows Specific - TypeError: fwrite(): Argument #1 must be of type resource, null given in Support\Logger

[liakosbeupset]

What happened?

Description

When running long-running tasks or complex installation commands (such as php artisan craft:install for Craft CMS 6) on a Windows environment, the command crashes with a TypeError regarding fwrite().

This happens because Windows environments do not support pcntl_fork, forcing Laravel Prompts to fall back to static rendering mode. Under certain conditions in this mode, the internal Logger is instantiated without a valid socket. In Laravel\Prompts\Support\Logger::write(), there is no validation to ensure that the $this->socket property is actually a valid resource before passing it to fwrite(), leading to a fatal crash in PHP 8+.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up a local development environment on Windows (e.g., Laragon).
2. Install a package that relies on Laravel Prompts and triggers long-running tasks or fallback static rendering mode (such as installing Craft CMS 6 Alpha via php artisan craft:install).
3. Proceed through the CLI prompts until the logger attempts to output a message.
4. The CLI script crashes with a TypeError.

Expected behavior

The Logger should fail gracefully or silently ignore log writes if a valid socket resource is not available in the current rendering mode, allowing the underlying task to complete without crashing.

Actual behavior

The application crashes with the following fatal error:

TypeError
fwrite(): Argument #1 ($stream) must be of type resource, null given

Proposed Fix (src/Support/Logger.php):
Add a null-check guard at the top of the write() method:

    protected function write(string $message, ?string $type = null): void
    {
        if (! $this->socket) {
            return;
        }

        if ($type !== null) {
            fwrite($this->socket, $this->prefix($type, $message).PHP_EOL);
        } else {
            fwrite($this->socket, $message.PHP_EOL);
        }
    }
