yii2 composer update fatal error
1) Remove old version of Composer Asset Plugin:
composer global remove "fxp/composer-asset-plugin"
2) Install newer version. Recommended version for installation is now (by the moment of writing this) 1.1.1
(see official docs).
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1.1"
I'd even recommend to use:
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:*"
3) Run composer install
in your project folder. In case of errors, delete vendor
folder contents and composer.lock
file and run composer install
again.
If arogachev's answer doesn't exactly work for you, here is a quick fix.
- Manually delete the vendor folder in your global composer installation. The folder to delete for eg. on ubuntu : /home/user/.composer/vendor
- Install the newer version of the plugin
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:*"
That should be all. You will get all your files back and you can continue
