Can only install one of: guzzlehttp/guzzle

cmwetherell

Clark - thank you!

Indeed, I enabled the Twitter extension almost immediately after getting my Flarum install set up, then promptly turned it off because I was unsure what to put in the settings boxes. It is still off, and I was running into this issue.

Cheers.

phking

thank you!

I just did a fresh install for a new site, and I ran into the same error trying to install Upload. It's an easy fix. But this time I didn't ever enable the Twitter extension. So maybe this is just a general issue now?

cmwetherell an extension that is installed but not enabled is still taken into account for dependencies with composer. If you don't use an extension it's best to delete it entirely (composer remove flarum/auth-twitter).

I think that the League Oauth1 (and by extension, the Twitter extension) now also has a requirement of ^6.0||^7.0, so this issue might happen to every new Flarum install now.

There's no definitive solution. Flarum could explicitly require version ^6.0, but as Flarum doesn't need the dependency itself, that would only create limitations for extensions that legitimately depend on or could benefit from ^7.0.

The best solution at this point is probably for extensions to check compatibility with Guzzle 7.0 and then update their requirement to ^6.0||^7.0 like the League OAuth packages. That way most extensions will use Guzzle 7.0 but the instructions in this topic can still be used for extensions that only support Guzzle 6.0

@clarkwinkelmann @luceos This problem still occurs with installing fof/upload, is there a patch to this issue or we should follow the temp solution
outlined above?

clarkwinkelmann

josiahking yes, we're aware the issue persists. It will persist for all users of Composers V1 until all extensions are compatible with Guzzle 7.

On Composer V2, the issue shouldn't appear because Composer V2 can automatically calculate the correct dependencies to install.

The above is not a temporary solution, it's the real solution. It's just that Composer V1 is unable to make the calculation to install the correct dependency versions. We, as forum administrators, have to force Composer to see the truth by using those commands 🙉

josiahking

clarkwinkelmann Ok thanks I will follow the solution.

Is there a problem this way?

DursunCan the output looks good. There's only that last line "Removal failed" that I didn't encounter before.

Are you using Composer v2? (you can check with composer --version).

The goal of that last command is to remove the line from composer.json. Based on the output, the line was already not present. Not sure how that's possible, since the previous command should have added it. You can check in composer.json. If the forum works fine and you don't see guzzlehttp/guzzle in composer.json, everything worked as expected.

DursunCan everything is looking good.

I think you can disregard the composer message.
