GitHub composer package - minimum-stability

Question

My package was working in private repository in Giblab, and after importing it in Github it's not working, When I try to require it, i've a error :

[InvalidArgumentException] Could not find a matching version of package lib_externe/XXX. Check the package spelling, your version constraint and that the package is available in a stability which matches your minimum-stability ( dev).

This is my package composer.json :

{
  "name": "lib-externe/XXX",
  "description": "Lib metier V4",
  "license": "proprietary",
  "minimum-stability": "dev",
  "require": {
    "php": ">=5.4.0"
  }
}

Composer.json on the front side is :

{
  "repositories": {
    "lib_externe": {
      "type": "git",
      "url": "https://xxx:[email protected]/zzz/zzz.lib_externe.git"
    }
  },
  "minimum-stability": "dev",
  "prefer-stable": true,
  "require": {
    "lib-externe/XXX": "dev-master",
  }
}

I've try to add those 2 lines that I didn't have before, but it's not helping:

  "minimum-stability": "dev",
  "prefer-stable": true,

Another interesting thing, is, if I remove vendor directory and composer.lock, and if I do a composer install, it work, and I see my lib-externe folder in vendor. But after imposible to require (this command was working in gitlab) :

composer require lib_externe/XXX:dev-master

When I execute this commande line, i've "minimum-stability" error. I've try lot of different variant with @dev for exemple, but nothing helped

i've try to "composer clear-cache" If I clone URL in "url" repository of composer.json, it clone correctly, and in Log in verbose mode I see all my branches (master included) If I check cached file, I see the package composer.json :

{"name":"lib-externe\/XXX","description":"Lib metier V4","license":"proprietary","minimum-stability":"dev","require":{"php":">=5.4.0"},"time":"2018-04-16T10:40:23+00:00"}

I don't have Tag, and I would like to don't use them if possible for now !

Until Now in Gitlab it was working in this way,

Thank you !

The problem was just a mistake in package name ('_' instead of '-') :

composer require lib_externe/XXX:dev-master

Correct name is :

composer require lib-externe/XXX:dev-master
