Composer 2.0.8 issue package-versions-deprecated

php laravel vagrant virtualbox homestead

Solution 1

The discussions here and here point to this being an issue with virtualbox, specifically vboxfs and something about newly created files (ie a zip being unzipped) not being completely ready from the host OS.

A workaround exists, where putting in a delay after zip seems to work. Credit goes to rpkamp.

The below worked for me (Laravel Homestead project, php7.4, virtualbox and vagrant):

1 - Create a script named unzip, somewhere. May as well be in the root of your project (where composer.json lives). Adjust the timing if you have slower storage (e.g. hdd), like sleep 0.9.

#!/bin/sh
    
/usr/bin/unzip "$@"
sleep 0.2

2 - Enter the Vagrant instance (everything after this step occurs within it):

vagrant ssh

3 - Copy the script to usr/local/bin:

sudo cp /path/to/unzip /usr/local/bin

4 - Allow the file to be executable, with:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/unzip

5 - Now try running composer again in your site root:

composer install

Ideally this fix is temporary and removed in the future. Keep in mind your deployment environment too; does it need this script too?

Solution 2

Updating with latest version provided me the solution:

composer self-update --snapshot

Solution 3

This seems to be a problem with the virtual box filesystem. I created an issue to composer and hopefully more insight will be gained.

  Could not delete /home/vagrant/.../vendor/composer/package-versions-deprecated/src:

I am using laravel homestead and seeing this and can't figure what the issue is. I have removed and added the laravel homestead box multiple times as to start from scratch. However, every time I get this issue after a fresh install. It is also not listed in composer.json.

        "cretueusebiu/valet-windows": "^2.1"
    }
}

I have only ran composer install and get this on a fresh install. My code base was originally built on composer v1 and I am attempting to migrate the namespacing to psr-4 updates and ran into this issue.

I am able to run if I run composer install --no-plugins. However, I am not able to find where the plugin could be installed. I ran this within my laravel app root directory.

Seems pretty clear, the plugin in question is not installed. Remove mention of it from your composer.json. See also the documentation.
Alex Mac over 3 years

@miken32 It is not in my composer.json
Ulrich Eckhardt over 3 years

You're missing a minimal reproducible example along with the complete output. Also, don't post pictures of text, those can't be searched and indexed. Also, consider whether writing a bug ticket is more appropriate.
Alex Mac over 3 years

@ulrichEckhardt, sorry I added more information. I am having to install with the --no-plugins flag. Not sure why that is necessary. It seems as though permissions are not correct or the package does not exist. However, I do see the sub directory stubbed out in my vendor folder.
Alex Mac over 3 years

Also @ulrichEckhardt I am able to reproduce with the above example.
miken32 over 3 years

Did you notice that sentence in the documentation I linked; the one about globally installed plugins? Maybe you've got one of those?
Ulrich Eckhardt over 3 years

If you remove any of the packages, it doesn't show the behaviour? Sorry, I don't believe that. Also, please quote the full output (after reducing your code to a minimal reproducible example). Further, what is the actual command you run? Is it with or without the --no-plugins flag? If your output included that, it would help. Lastly, make sure your user's composer configuration doesn't have an influence, move it to a different place temporarily.

@UlrichEckhardt I updated my question with global composer.json and the command that I have ran that works. From what I can tell looking into the plugin. Composer itself is installing the plugin as a replacement for ocramius/package-versions for comparing installed package versions when you use composer v2 and you are not running php 7.4. packagist.org/packages/composer/package-versions-deprecated.
Alex Mac over 3 years

@miken32 I updated my question to include the global composer.json and it seems that it is being installed on the fly by composer. see packagist.org/packages/composer/package-versions-deprecated as a replacement for ocramius/packaged-versions.

Try composer clear-cache and then remove composer.lock and vendor/composer/autoload_*.php. What directory are you running composer from?
Alex Mac over 3 years

@miken32 I updated the question with the out put and took the steps you said. I just simply removed the vendor folder because I did not have a vendor/composer/autoload_*.php
Alex Mac over 3 years

I had listed the incorrect php version in my question.
miken32 over 3 years

/home/vagrant/.../vendor suggests a problem to me, which is why I asked what directory you are running the command from.
Alex Mac over 3 years

Sorry @miken32 It is my app root directory. However, I am not trying to display the name of my application for public consumption. I have gone through and truncated those references.

Created an issue for the package in question on github. Adding here if anyone else runs into the issue. github.com/composer/package-versions-deprecated/issues/…

Please share more details. Is there any information about why exactly this is failing right behind Could not delete /home/vagrant/.../vendor/composer/package-versions-deprecate‌d/src:?

I can confirm this solution worked for me, after I set 'sleep' to 0.5.
Alex Mac about 3 years

Yeah I saw this and had not updated the answer to this. So I went ahead and set this as the answer until virtual box makes their fix. Thanks!

Why not post this insight as an edit of your earlier answer (which only contains related info rather than a solution)?
