Upload listed to support beta 16 but composer blocks.

eddiewebb

Extiverse says fof/upload is beta 16 compatible, but packagist and composer says not.

https://packagist.org/packages/fof/upload#0.13.1

flarum/core: >=0.1.0-beta.15 <0.1.0-beta.16

fof/upload 0.13.1 requires flarum/core >=0.1.0-beta.15 <0.1.0-beta.16 -> satisfiable by flarum/core[v0.1.0-beta.15].

eddiewebb it's best to check each GitHub repository or Discuss discussion to check if a beta 16 release has been made. Extiverse won't be able to perfectly guess it for this release (see luceos comment in another discussion about it)

As a general rule of thumb, don't expect your extensions to be compatible for the first 2-3 weeks. If you want to update right away, check each extension one by one.

Some developers might barely have woken up to the beta 16 release announcement at this time!

eddiewebb

clarkwinkelmann Thanks!

I was actually only trying to go for beta 15, but didn't think (and not quite sure how) to set that restriction in composer. So running release note steps for 13-> 15 took me all the wya to 16 😮

I guess if I leave upload in place, but make it a '*' that would force core to stay < beta 16...?

clarkwinkelmann

eddiewebb yes the instructions will always lead to the latest Flarum version.

Indeed if you keep at least one extension that has an explicit constraint for Flarum <beta16, it should to to beta 15.

Another option could be to replace "flarum/core": "^0.1.0" with "flarum/core": "<=0.1.0-beta.15" in composer.json. It's best to change it back once the update is finished to make sure the upgrade guide will work for the next update.

eddiewebb

Hmm, using the explicit tag for flarum/core worked.

There is no installed package depending on "flarum/core" in versions not matching v0.1.0-beta.15

Wooohooo! BUT trying to re-add the fof/* extensions all yell because they're trying to get beta 16...


  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires fof/links ^0.6.0 -> satisfiable by fof/links[0.6.0].
    - fof/links 0.6.0 requires flarum/core ^0.1.0-beta.16 -> found flarum/core[v0.1.0-beta.16] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (<=0.1.0-beta.15).
  Problem 2
    - Root composer.json requires fof/terms ^0.6.2 -> satisfiable by fof/terms[0.6.2].
    - fof/terms 0.6.2 requires flarum/core >=0.1.0-beta.16 <0.1.0-beta.17 -> found flarum/core[v0.1.0-beta.16] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (<=0.1.0-beta.15).
  Problem 3
    - Root composer.json requires fof/user-bio ^0.5.0 -> satisfiable by fof/user-bio[0.5.0].
    - fof/user-bio 0.5.0 requires flarum/core ^0.1.0-beta.16 -> found flarum/core[v0.1.0-beta.16] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (<=0.1.0-beta.15).

Use the option --with-all-dependencies (-W) to allow upgrades, downgrades and removals for packages currently locked to specific versions.

Is there a composer flag? (--prefer-lowest didnt help)

askvortsov

eddiewebb are you sure all these fof extensions have been updated?

eddiewebb

askvortsov I removed the fof prior to upgrade. php flarum info shows all remaining updated successfully.

The problem is composer is going for the latest extension, but should go back to a version compatible with my core requirement. I dont understand why this still tries to pick a version that wont work on 15...

composer remove fof/sitemap fof/impersonate fof/links fof/pages fof/terms fof/frontpage fof/user-bio
# they should be gone right?

composer require fof/sitemap fof/impersonate fof/links fof/pages fof/terms fof/frontpage fof/user-bio
# errors wanting beta 16

eddiewebb

Looks like I have to use the error and manually say "install NOT THAT VERSION"

composer require fof/links "<0.6.0"

works.. but i thought the whole point of composer was to figure that out for me...

eddiewebb

So manually pinning every version works for fof extensions, and I really would like to know why that doesn't work.

composer remove webbinaro/flarum-calendar
composer remove webbinaro/gpx-preview
composer remove clarkwinkelmann/flarum-ext-author-change
composer remove fof/polls fof/sitemap fof/impersonate fof/links fof/pages fof/terms fof/frontpage fof/user-bio
composer remove flarumalshain/showlastpost 
composer remove --no-update flarum/auth-facebook flarum/auth-github flarum/auth-twitter

#composer require webbinaro/gpx-preview

php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

Anyway. updated my extension, everything installed, and flarum is running.

Several plugins are throwing stacktraces, so that's now plugin specific issues to chase down. Thanks for the help all!

clarkwinkelmann

composer require vendor/package will first find what the latest version is, then try to install that version. This means it will fail if the latest version is not compatible with your current Flarum.

composer require vendor/package:* will try to install the latest version that is compatible with your existing packages.

eddiewebb

clarkwinkelmann omg, thank you.
