Error when updating Flarum

cmsoc

From time time, I just do a general update of composer to get any updates including extensions using the command composer update --prefer-dist --no-plugins --no-dev -a --with-all-dependencies. But now, I am getting an error when updating Flarum.

Composer could not detect the root package (flarum/flarum) version, defaulting to '1.0.0'. See https://getcomposer.org/root-version

Flarum Info Output:

Okay. It seems this is a new feature of composer that was introduced not too long ago (composer/composer11858). It is just a warning and can be completely ignored.

A new change was already merged to remove this warning for any installation using type project (composer/composer11885), but this was not yet released.

So tldr:

you can completely ignore this warning
this warning only shows when using composer 2.7.2
this warning will no longer show when composer releases it's next update 2.7.3

luceos Thank you so much 🙂 For a minute, I thought something is broken in the installation.
