Problem updating Flarum 12 to 13

Zeokat

I'm working into a Flarum install of a friend, honestly he have a little mess into the server and is hard to pint what is the problem.

When i run the command suggested to update Flarum composer update --prefer-dist --no-dev -a --with-all-dependencies i'm facing weird trouble and instead update to version 13, Flarum is downgraded to Flarum version 8 🤯 🤯

When i run the command composer why-not flarum/core v0.1.0-beta.13 the output is:

[ecom@lin176 flarum]$ php composer.phar why-not flarum/core v0.1.0-beta.13
flarum/core    v0.1.0-beta.13  requires          wikimedia/less.php (^3.0)
flarum/flarum  -               does not require  wikimedia/less.php (but v2.0.0 is installed)

Output of php flarum info :

[ecom@lin176 flarum]$ php flarum info

I disabled all third party extensions.

Don't know how to solve this... Any idea?

Zeokat maybe try composer remove wikimedia/less.php

It seems like that dependency was somehow installed, but is not listed in composer.json.

Now if Flarum is jumping so many versions behind, it could be a PHP version issue. But things look fine on the PHP version side in your outputs.

clarkwinkelmann I'm successfully running beta 13 on PHP 7.2.24
Zeokat Pretty sure the problem is not the PHP version

Zeokat Hi, to me this reply helped.

clarkwinkelmann

HD3D I'm not suggesting Flarum beta 13 doesn't run on PHP 7.2. I'm suggesting that maybe in some contexts Composer ends up running with an older PHP version in which case it'll pick an older Flarum version that complies with the PHP version currently being used.

peopleinside I already tryed that and don't work sorry.

Now i want to try with another method, maybe someone can help with: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/24189-how-to-force-install-flarum-12
