Problem with extensions not installing (Nov 2015)

Toby

If you're having trouble installing Flarum, or you can't seem to install new extensions via Composer, read this!

A new version of Composer was released the other day which exposed the use of a deprecated API in the flarum/composer-installer package. This is the package that tells Composer to install Flarum extensions into the extensions directory instead of the vendor directory. It broke, and so if you've tried a fresh installation of Flarum recently, it mightn't have worked.

We've fixed the issue and released a new version of this package (0.2.0). If you're doing a fresh installation of Flarum, simply follow the installation instructions again and it should work.

If you've already got an existing working installation of Flarum, you'll need to make a small update to your composer.json file. Change:

        "flarum/composer-installer": "^0.1.0",

to:

        "flarum/composer-installer": "*",

And then run this command:

$ composer update

Sorry about any inconvenience this may have caused! Please let us know if you have any trouble.

After that, for me it's impossible to activate any extensions...

creat015 I updated the composer.json as above and updated using "composer update". Then in the admin panel, i enabled the English extension and it worked. So I basically followed the tutorial above and it worked fine. I doubt I can help you, if it didn't work for you.

creat015 Actually, i know the solution. I also installed the french language pack https://github.com/maelsoucaze/flarum
It seems like it installed the missing extensions.

Ignivis Two updates was the key. Now it's working on my forum as well.

Toby A fresh installation didn't install the extensions for me. Only the french language pack did.

Toby My experience is like that of @Ignivis, two composer update commands worked to populate the extensions directory.

@Toby This condition momo5502 also happen to me.I think flarum is not update on packagist.You can see on https://packagist.org/packages/flarum/flarum .The last update time is also 2015-11-02 23:49 UTC,and the requires of flarum/composer-installer is also ^0.1.0 not *.Maybe you should login in packagist to force update flarum/flarum package.

For those, who has empty extensions directory: I had installed forum three times , but the extension directory was empty every time, after I did twice "composer update", all the extensions had appeared in the directory!

young a new release of flarum/flarum is needed to update the dependency of flarum/composer-installer.
