I can't figure this out. I have my package on packagist:
https://packagist.org/packages/jafo232/ambientapi
And when I try to install it via composer with
composer require jafo232/ambientapi
I get:
[InvalidArgumentException] Could not find package jafo232/ambientapi.
Did you mean this?
jafo232/ambientapi
Is this just an internal issue?
The issue here was that I did not add a tag to indicate a staple version:
git tag -a 1.00
Then:
git push --tags
You should note there is a delay, even if you manually pull from Packagist. It can take up to 10 minutes before it shows up.
I hope this helps others.

I'm running Laravel 5.5.
While trying to install jacquestvanzuydam/laravel-firebird via Composer,
but it fails. The Composer shows me:
[InvalidArgumentException]
Could not find a version of package jacquestvanzuydam/laravel-firebird matching your minimum-stability (stable). Require it with an explicit version constraint allowing its desired stability.
This package does not have any stable release. You need to specify branch in constrait directly:
composer require jacquestvanzuydam/laravel-firebird:dev-master
This will install version from master branch. List of available branches you can find or right column on https://packagist.org/packages/jacquestvanzuydam/laravel-firebird.
You may also report this issue (no stable release of this package) to package maintainer. Using branch instead of regular constraint may give unexpected compatibility breaks, you should really avoid it where possible.
Adding "minimum-stability": "dev" to composer.json before installation worked for me.

Do you already have a composer.json file in your directory? If not, this could be the error, because in this file you will configure which version of the package you want to install in to your project.
The second exception gives a hint to that missing version!
If you have a composer.json file please add its content to your question, so that we can take a look at it.
Here you can find further informations:

i faced the same problem.
And neither the creation of releases, nor any tags helped.
The solution for me turned out to be updating the composer from last version.
it's for composer, nothing else. If you already installed composer and composer version is 2 then convert it to version 1.easy way to solve this problem is ,delete the composer folder from your system and re install it. download from here: https://getcomposer.org/
I've currently installed a package "watson/sitemap". Now, I want to remove it without using "composer update" since it will update other packages which I don't want.
Any help would be much appreciated.
UPDATE: Composer 2 is now out, and it seems to be smart enough to handle the recursion. You need only remove the offending package.
I recently needed to do this. Here's a real-world example. This is pretty hacky. You could script this by using Composer's PHP classes or by parsing the composer.lock file, but this is a manual process you can follow.
1. Remove the unwanted package(s)
composer remove --no-update illuminate/mail
composer update illuminate/mail
2. Look for orphaned dependencies
composer show -N | xargs -n 1 composer why | grep "There is no installed package"
Output (something like this):
There is no installed package depending on "erusev/parsedown"
There is no installed package depending on "swiftmailer/swiftmailer"
There is no installed package depending on "tijsverkoyen/css-to-inline-styles"
3. Remove orphaned dependencies
composer update erusev/parsedown swiftmailer/swiftmailer tijsverkoyen/css-to-inline-styles
4. Rinse, repeat
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you've found all the orphans.
Clarification: If you use the --no-update flag, you won't upgrade packages... however (as of writing, early 2020) it also does not remove orphaned dependencies. You're not telling it not to "upgrade". You're telling it not to update any of the installed (composer.lock) dependencies. Big difference. This is why you have to find them and manually "update" them out of your project.
Right way:
composer remove watson/sitemap --no-update
From CLI Docs:
The remove command removes packages from the composer.json file from
the current directory.
php composer.phar remove vendor/package vendor/package2
After removing the requirements, the modified requirements will be
uninstalled.
Hack way:
Remove the entry from composer.json then run
composer update watson/sitemap
This will remove a package totally from composer.lock and /vendor
I'm not sure this is possible. To restate your question. You have watson/sitemap in your composer.json, you've executed a composer update to download the package and it's dependencies. Now you want to remove the package but leave dependent packages in place?
I'm not sure there's a good way to do this, you'll have to run composer update at some point, which will just download it again. If my interpretation is correct, maybe your solution is to just add the other packages that you need that you don't want removed when you get rid of watson/sitemap, possibly sloppy/paste it's dependencies into your composer.json file?
I use
composer remove package-name --no-update-with-dependencies
Works imho
I know that we can always install a package via command:
composer require packageA
But I don't know if you guys ever have a situation like this:
You want to install a big size package "packageB" that your teammate added to composer.json and your wifi is slow so composer would take very very long to get the packageB. Then you have an idea:
"Maybe I try get the packageB zip from my teammate via flash drive and paste
it into my project."
And you did that, the package works as expected. Wonderful!
But then, you think again:
What if now I want to do the composer update other packages in my
project?
You try:
composer update
and then, what happen is composer will get the package again because you didn't use "composer install" or "composer update" to install packageB so composer doesn't know you have it.
(Sorry for the long explanation).
So my question is:
How do we let composer know that we have the package already so composer don't re-download the package again? Or this is the behavior of composer and I must always use "composer install/update", there is no other way?
And sorry, change to another wifi or find a faster internet connection is really not what I'm looking for. And I also know that we can install the package locally (see here: How to update a single composer package?).
Thanks in advance!
If we don't want to use repositories.
In my knowledge, the only option is to update you composer.json and composer.lock. Friend give you version 1.2 to vendor? Write in exactly version in composer.json and for composer.lock, you will need data from your friend too.
Run install then.
Should check, but not download any file. Still, problem is that all required libraries by this library, could be updated - you can only write down exactly version of them in file.
As default, I think, the didn't predict scenarios for that way.
This is the only solution for you, i know should work.
Composer does use caching heavily to reduce the amount of data to download. However this does not remove the need to download the package at least once.
Basically Composer has two modes to download: --prefer-dist will try to obtain a download URL for an archive file, and --prefer-source will try to obtain a copy of the version control system being used.
Both variants put the result into Composer's cache directory.
Over time you'll collect a couple of archive files locally, which allow for quick switches back and forth between existing version downloads, and newer versions will have to be downloaded once.
Also you can clone a git repository once, and Composer will try to reuse it when updating, by simply fetching new commits and checking out the appropriate tags. This still requires to clone the repository once.
You can work around cloning the repository by manually placing it at the correct spot, either by physically putting it there, or by symlinking the correct vendor directory. You can also make Composer aware of an official copy by adding the local copy as an entry to repositories. This will add this source to the existing collection of packages available from Packagist.
I use composer to manage packages. But I delete one of files from package (I use composer status -v to check this).
Is it possible to restore changed/deleted files to it base (installed) state via composer (composer install doing nothing in my case) ?
Thanks.
ps. It's look like there no way to restore separate file from repo, after his been changed/deleted. Of course, it's possible to delete entire vendor dir, and reinstall some package totally.
I edit dependant package source code all the time and run into the issue of my local being out of sync with the remove source.
When things get really sideways and nothing works: delete the package providers dir inside the ./vendor (exp: ./vendor/author-name). Then composer will see the package is missing when running composer install. It will re-download the version specified in composer.lock.
If you want the latest version of all the packages when re-installing; composer update is what you want.
I also recommend using -o -vvv to generate the AuoLoader file and provide verbose output.
