Composer Update

Question

I am updating the Whole Question again today (14 September 2015)

I am using Windows 8. I am working with Symfony php framework. I tried to update composer with this command php D:\php\php\composer.phar update . Then I got following error message.

    Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)

Could any one say what is the remedy of this error ?? Thanks

Answer 1

Try running the following command:

php d:\php\php\composer.phar show -i

This should print out a list of the packages currently installed on your system, along with their versions. Look for doctrine/doctrine-bundle to see what version it has.

If it is not listed, it is possible all you need to do is add this line to the require section of your composer.json file:

    "doctrine/doctrine-bundle": "~1.3",

And then re-run the update command. However, that seems unlikely, since Composer would usually retrieve that dependency automatically if there was no conflict.

The "~1.3" is coming from the sylius/resource-bundle which has that as a dependency. This means that it is looking for any stable 1.3.X version of the DoctrineBundle package (of which only 1.3.0 exists). This is also somewhat of an old version, as the current is 1.5.2.

There are some tricks you can do as far as fooling Composer into thinking that a package matches a certain version, though these are usually not a good idea as versioned dependencies generally exist for a reason.

Most likely more information is needed to discover exactly why this isn't working, as Composer will normally let you know what packages are conflicting, and it isn't here.
