Okay, I setup the Flarum Extension-Generator but its verison 0.1.0 beta.8 (My flarum version is 0.1.0 beta.16). And it is error giving when I wrtie composer require superman/flarum-ext-batman:*@dev.

I was followed this steps:

Error is:

[InvalidArgumentException]
 Could not find a matching version of package superman/flarum-ext-batman Check the package spelling, your vers
ion constraint and that the package is available in a stability which matches your minimum-stability (beta).

Please help me guys, may the force be with you.

jedi are you sure you've linked up the folder containing your extension as a path repository in your local dev site's composer.json?

jedi

"Oh s**t! Clark is here.."
I use this documentation and I follow your live flarum coding videos for extend flarum. (Very usefull)

(Nice to meet you Clark, you are definitely a Super Hero for Flarum Community , (Sure not like Batman but cool 😅 )

Problem is just "repositories", right?

jedi

If you saying this code, yes sir. But I'm not sure it is corect

"repositories": [
    {
   "type": "path",
   "url": "C:/wamp64/www/bek/packages/siliconvalley/*"
 }

askvortsov

jedi Is siliconvalley the extension folder? IE, is there a composer.json folder directly inside there?

If so, try changing the "url" to "C:/wamp64/www/bek/packages/*"

jedi

askvortsov Is siliconvalley the extension folder?

Yes.

jedi

askvortsov IE, is there a composer.json folder directly inside there?

I think siliconvalley folder is corect.

jedi

I try all way but not worked. Error is the same still

jedi

I setup it's Flarum Extension-Generator again but it's still the same error contuine.

I have never used absolute paths for Composer repositories.

You could try with a relative path.

Also Windows uses backslash \, maybe Composer is sensitive to that? The opposite could also be true, some tools use only forward slashes for paths even on Windows.

Also maybe there's a protocol required for when using absolute path, for example file://. Did you find a documentation that explains how to use absolute paths in the Composer documentation? I think all examples I've seen until now use relative paths.

clarkwinkelmann

jedi well the keys and values look correct according to https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#path

The only thing I cannot find documentation for is the use of an absolute path. Every example and issue I find when searching for this are relative paths.

I don't have access to a Windows computer so I cannot test if that syntax works for me 😅

Is Flarum inside C:\wamp64\www\bek ? If so you could try to just use packages/* as the url, as suggested in https://docs.flarum.org/extend/start.html#extension-packaging

I've never used the options key, I don't think it's necessary.

jedi

I now trying this code but is the same error 🙁

"repositories": [
   {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "C:\wamp64\www\bek\packages\batman",
            "options": {
                "versions": {
                    "batman": "4.2-dev"
                }
            }
        }
    ]

jedi

clarkwinkelmann Is Flarum inside C:\wamp64\www\bek ?

Yes

jedi

Now I get this error

Theurlsupplied for the path (packages/*) repository does not exist

jedi

jedi Theurlsupplied for the path (packages/*) repository does not exist

This problem is was solved with "repositories" is here: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/1608-extension-development-using-composer-repositories-path
But then here we back again same error 🤣

askvortsov

jedi Are you using a relative path now?

jedi

askvortsov I using now this code:

 "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "packages/*"
        }
]

askvortsov

What's the output of composer why-not superman/flarum-ext-batman

jedi

I setup it's Flarum Extension-Generator again.
Repositories is:

  "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "packages/batman"
        }
    ]

askvortsov What's the output of composer why-not superman/flarum-ext-batman

And now says, "There is no installed package depending on "superman/flarum-ext-batman"

jedi
