Undefined property: Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Repository\AssetVcsRepository::$verbos - composer-php

Question

Trying to install a simple repository using composer (composer require vimeo/vimeo-api ^2.0)
And I can't seem to get it work.
Here's the error
Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.
[ErrorException]

I've tried using composer update, I've tried deleting the fxp/composer-asset-plugin and re-installing. Nothing seems to work.
In addition this is a Yii 2 app.
Per request I'm adding the composer.json into this.

As far as I can see in the repository for fxp/composer-asset-plugin, it has seen some updates for the property $verbose which is no longer available in current Composer versions. You should update that package.
As it is not listed in your composer.json, some other package seems to require it. And to update the asset plugin, you probably need to update that other package too - check through composer why fxp/composer-asset-plugin which other plugin is responsible for this
