Soft failure when installing Beta 16

samus14

Followed directions - ran backup, uninstalled the 1 extension that isn't compatible (using the Uninstall button on the admin GUI, which doesn't appear to fully uninstall the extension as far as I can tell?), disabled all other extensions, and ran the update commands.

No errors in terminal, everything is green. But I'm still on Beta 15.

samus14 we haven't published this yet, but see the update part under "files changed" in flarum/docs194

luceos

samus14 fof/best-answer 0.3.6 requires flarum/core (>=0.1.0-beta.15 <0.1.0-beta.16)

Inside your composer.json set the constraint to * for fof/best-answer. Or use the extiverse helper https://extiverse.com/helper to help you with upgrading.

samus14

I tried editing the composer.json file as recommended by luceos. i did that successfully, but the install still failed in a similar or same way.

I did not try the extiverse helper, or the method recommended by askvortsov (which I was a bit confused about).

samus14 In your composer.json, replace the version string for "fof best answer" with an asterisk.

samus14

askvortsov I tried that... just to be sure I'm doing it right, we're talking about the composer.json in my main forum directory, that has these files?

assets CHANGELOG.md composer.json composer.lock config.php extend.php flarum index.php LICENSE public README.md storage vendor

Here's how that line of my composer.json looks:
"fof/best-answer": "*",

Is that right? Thank you! Sorry I'm such a dunce!

I tried editing the composer.json file, saved it, and tried installing again, with no luck. Here's the result of the commands:

Yes. Make sure you do the same for all other lines other than "flarum/core". We've written up a bit about this on the docs
