yii2 composer update fatal error

Question

When I update my composer to add yii2-solr extension to my project, I encounter with an error like below:

The "yiisoft/yii2-composer" plugin requires composer-plugin-api 1.0.0, this *WILL* break in the future and it should be fixed ASAP (require ^1.0 for example).
The "fxp/composer-asset-plugin" plugin requires composer-plugin-api 1.0.0, this *WILL* break in the future and it should be fixed ASAP (require ^1.0 for example).

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Package\Version\VersionParser::parseLinks() in /root/.composer/vendor/fxp/composer-asset-plugin/Repository/VcsPackageFilter.php on line 272

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Package\Version\VersionParser::parseLinks() in /root/.composer/vendor/fxp/composer-asset-plugin/Repository/VcsPackageFilter.php on line 272

before that I've ran composer self-updatebut still not work and when I want to run

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.1"

again the above error shown. This is my composer.json file content:

How can I fix this error? Thanks.

Answer 1

1) Remove old version of Composer Asset Plugin:

composer global remove "fxp/composer-asset-plugin"

2) Install newer version. Recommended version for installation is now (by the moment of writing this) 1.1.1 (see official docs).

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1.1"

I'd even recommend to use:

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:*"

3) Run composer install in your project folder. In case of errors, delete vendor folder contents and composer.lock file and run composer install again.

Answer 2

If arogachev's answer doesn't exactly work for you, here is a quick fix.

1. Manually delete the vendor folder in your global composer installation. The folder to delete for eg. on ubuntu : /home/user/.composer/vendor
2. Install the newer version of the plugin

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:*"

That should be all. You will get all your files back and you can continue
