Can't install laravel packages, symfony/process has wrong version - symfony

I tried to install some packages that need a 2.* version but the new laravel version uses 3.*
Is there any way to "downgrade" the package or do I have to wait until the packages are updated to the latest version?

I had the same issue, when I wanted to install sclable/php-latex. It needed symfony process higher than 2.7. Installed was version 3.x.
I thought, everything should be fine, but it did not work.
You just have to modify your composer.json file and set the version higher than 2.
"symfony/process": "^2.7"
as here my composer.json file
{
"name": "laravel/laravel",
"description": "The Laravel Framework.",
"keywords": [ "framework", "laravel" ],
"license": "MIT",
"type": "project",
"minimum-stability": "beta",
"prefer-stable": true,
"require": {
"php": ">=5.5.9",
"laravel/framework": "5.2.*",
"barryvdh/laravel-debugbar": "^2.2",
"symfony/process": "^2.7",

"require-dev": {

"phpunit/phpunit": "~4.0",
"symfony/css-selector": "2.8.*|3.0.*",
"symfony/dom-crawler": "2.8.*|3.0.*"
},
Then make an composer update:
composer update -verbose

overcome Drupal 9 composer update symfony version conflict

I'm trying update Drupal 9, but composer is failing on symfony/var-dumper or symfony/cache versions.
$ composer update
For additional security you should declare the allow-plugins config with a list of packages names that are allowed to run code. See https://getcomposer.org/allow-plugins
This warning will become an exception once you run composer update!

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires drupal/core-dev 9.3.0 -> satisfiable by drupal/core-dev[9.3.0].
- You can only install one version of a package, so only one of these can be installed: symfony/var-dumper[v3.4.0, ..., v3.4.47, v4.0.0, ..., v4.4.42, v5.0.0, ..., v5.4.9, v6.0.0, ..., v6.1.0].

I had been trying to update OwlCarousel, which won't work. I noticed I had the 1.x version installed, so I removed it and then tried to add owlcarousel2. But with no luck. I tried with setting minimum-stability to both dev and stable, specifying just drupal/owlcarousel2 and 'drupal/owlcarousel:^2.0#RC'
Composer gives me:
$ composer require drupal/owlcarousel2
Using version ^1.0#RC for drupal/owlcarousel2

Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires drupal/owlcarousel2 ^1.0#RC -> satisfiable by drupal/owlcarousel2[1.0.0-rc1].
- drupal/owlcarousel2 1.0.0-rc1 requires drupal/core ~8.0 -> found drupal/core[8.0.0-beta6, ..., 8.9.x-dev] but the package is fixed to 9.3.0 (lock file version) by a partial update and that version does not match. Make sure you list it as an argument for the update command.
What happens when I just try composer update ...
Problem 1
- drupal/core 8.0.0-beta6 requires doctrine/common dev-master#a45d110f71c323e29f41eb0696fa230e3fa1b1b5 -> found doctrine/common[2.1.3, ..., 2.13.x-dev, 3.0.0, ..., 3.3.x-dev] but it does not match the constraint.

- drupal/owlcarousel2 1.0.0-rc1 requires drupal/core ~8.0 -> satisfiable by drupal/core[8.0.0-beta6, ..., 8.9.x-dev].
...
I have no idea why drupal 8.* is being mention here. "drupal/core 8.0.0-beta6..." -- I painstakingly rebiult from scratch on 9.x (I used to love working with drupal but now it's the bane of my existence.)
I troll the web looking for similar problems to mine, and run randomly found commands like this one:
composer require 'drupal/core-recommended:9' 'drupal/core-composer-scaffold:9' 'drupal/core-project-message:9' --update-with-dependencies --no-update
533 composer update --with-all-dependencies
Now there's no mention of drupal 8.* in the output, but I still can't install Owlcarousel2 or run composer update.
Honestly, I feel composer and drupal together is a failure. I've been using composer for ~3+ years on this codebase, but to get it from 8.9 to 9.x I had to completely toss it and restart from the ground up on drupal/core-recommened 9.x. And even then, after installing ~10-12 modules I find myself here again--with composer just about never running successfully, and I spend a WEEK mucking with it to no avail.
Where was I...

I've been trying to build in the most mainstream way, so as to avoid these dependency issues.
In some threads I see people ask "Why do you have drupal/core-dev ? Other threads respond that it's a requirement for drupal/core-recommended.
Some say "delete your composer.json, composer.lock, symfomny.lock, and/or vendor folder." Huh?! I have stuff in vendor that I'd have to copy out and save, then replace, etc. Is this really a solution? Doesn't composer.json store what's installed?
I'd appreciate any advice on fixing this install.
Also, how can I use drupal and composer and not have to cross my fingers and hold my EVERY TIME I run updates or have to add a module?

Composer says package of lower version is required in certain contexts. (Drupal)

I have a drupal profile called "orange_profile". It requires a bunch of common modules and requires drupal 9. If I go into the profile and run composer update it installs all the modules and core with proper versions (all beta or stable). Running composer depends drupal/core I can see that nothing is stuck below drupal 9.
But when I go to an actual site and try to install the profile it errors stating that the profile requires drupal ~8.0. I cannot get this to change.
Here is the error output:
composer require drupal/orange_profile:dev-2.0.x
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update drupal/orange_profile
Loading composer repositories with package information

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires drupal/orange_profile dev-2.0.x -> satisfiable by drupal/orange_profile[dev-2.0.x].
- drupal/orange_profile dev-2.0.x requires drupal/core ~8.0 -> found drupal/core[8.0.0-beta6, ..., 8.9.x-dev] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (^9.1).
Use the option --with-all-dependencies (-W) to allow upgrades, downgrades and removals for packages currently locked to specific versions.
Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.
Using -W does not help. In fact it sometimes still suggests that I use -W when I am using it.
Here are the composer.jsons:

This shows me trying to install just the core package and using a local version of the orange profile but the same happens when I am using the one from the remote repo and core-recommended.
My only hunch is that there is some dependencie down the way which has an odd requirement for something like doctrine as I have seen composer telling me that it's because the core 8.0.0-beta6 requires a specific commit of doctrine. This error appeared a couple times.
Anyone seen similar? I noticed while googling that others got the same or similar errors when trying to install certain modules like drupal/entity.
And one more side note, why can I only see what a package requires when it is installed? It would be more convenient for something like this to see the specific requirements of the profile that are asking for a lower core version.

(TS) In 'const' enum declartions member initializer must be constant expression

I've got problem with building application at Visual Studio 2017. I'm using ASP.NET CORE 2 and Angular 6. After running application i'm getting errors at file output_ast.d.ts from node_modules:

Application is made similar to this article https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1245243/How-to-Create-an-App-with-Angular-and-ASP-NET-C
but angular app is in separated folder called ClientApp.
I've tryed different versions of ts and angular cli and nothing helps. What can I do with that error ?
In Visual Studio, check the settings in your project Properties->TypeScript Build section and make sure TypeScript Version is set to "Use latest available" or at least something fairly recent. I suspect it's currently set to something prior to when TypeScript supported string enums.
I experienced the exact same behavior and in appeared to be a TS version incompatibility issues. Instead of changing TypeScript version to "Use latest available" as suggested above, I was able to resolve by changing TypeScript version to 2.2.
To have a string enum, you only have to do the following
export enum JSDocTagName {
Desc = "desc",
Id = "id",
Meaning = "meaning",
}
as per documentation
tldr; Upgrade the TypeScript compiler that Visual Studio is using.
Visual Studio 2017 is probably attempting to build the project using an older version of TypeScript than 2.4, when string initializers for enums was introduced: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-2-4.html.
There are 3 different TypeScript compilers to be aware of here:
Angular CLI: uses local project node_modules/typescript folder
NPM: uses globally installed TS compiler (%AppData%/npm/Roaming on Windows)
Visual Studio: uses TS compiler in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript
To upgrade the TypeScript compiler that VS is using, go to the https://marketplace.visualstudio.com and search for the latest TypeScript extension. Install it, restart Visual Studio, then in the Project settings make sure the TypeScript build version is set to that new version. Now if you rebuild, the error should disappear.
Answer suggested by #ben-barreth seems to be the case for me too. VS Code's tsc seems to be version < 2. But instead of upgrading vscode plugin, a more convenient way is to use the npm package with explicit path to tsc ./node_modules/.bin/tsc.
$ ./node_modules/.bin/tsc --version
Version 4.3.2
$ tsc --version

npm install not installing any packages

Im trying to test an old project, and when i run npm install, all i get is:
npm WARN package.json xx# No repository field.
npm WARN package.json xx# No license field.
My package.json file looks like this:

I havent run this kind of install in a while and im afraid im forgetting something, any ideas as to what ?
EDIT: it turns out the folder copy i had of the project had already a node_modules folder with everything installed, reason why running npm install wasnt doing anything. Although i thought there would be some kind of warning or message saying all modules are installed already.
Getting the warning is not a concern. If you can see a structure of npm packages being installed after the warning, then it works fine. In case you want to avoid these warning, you can add respository and license fields to your package.json.
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git://github.com/user/repo.git"
},
"license": "ISC"
You are missing a bracket from the end
{
"name": "xx",
"version": "",
"dependencies": {},
"devDependencies": {
"connect-livereload": "~0.3.2",
"grunt": "~0.4.1",
"grunt-bg-shell": "~2.3.1",
"grunt-contrib-csslint": "^0.2.0",
"grunt-contrib-sass": "^0.8.1",
"grunt-contrib-uglify": "^0.6.0",
"grunt-contrib-watch": "~0.5.3",
"grunt-newer": "^0.8.0",
"grunt-ngrok": "^0.2.2",
"load-grunt-tasks": "~0.2.1",
"time-grunt": "~0.2.7"
},
"engines": {
"node": ">=0.8.0"
}
}
I sugges you to use npm init then install the packages by the cli-tool
for eg:
save to devDepencies
npm install connect-livereload grunt grunt-bg-shell ... --save-dev
save to depencies
npm install express ... --save

How to install Symfony2 Bundles with Composer

I'm using Windows and I installed composer from its Windows installer. What I want to do is to install DoctrineMigrationsBundle to my project, so I added
"doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle": "dev-master"
to the composer.json file in the project and run
cd the project directory
php composer.phar update
but what I get is: Could not open input file: composer.phar
My whole composer.json file is
{
"name": "symfony/framework-standard-edition",
"description": "The \"Symfony Standard Edition\" distribution",
"autoload": {
"psr-0": { "": "src/" }
},
"require": {
"php": ">=5.3.3",
"symfony/symfony": "2.1.*",
"doctrine/orm": ">=2.2.3,<2.4-dev",
"doctrine/doctrine-bundle": "1.1.*",
"twig/extensions": "1.0.*#dev",
"symfony/assetic-bundle": "2.1.*",
"symfony/swiftmailer-bundle": "2.1.*",
"symfony/monolog-bundle": "2.1.*",
"sensio/distribution-bundle": "2.1.*",
"sensio/framework-extra-bundle": "2.1.*",
"sensio/generator-bundle": "2.1.*",
"jms/security-extra-bundle": "1.2.*",
"jms/di-extra-bundle": "1.1.*",
"kriswallsmith/assetic": "1.1.*#dev"

},
"scripts": {

"Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::clearCache",
"Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installAssets",
"Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installRequirementsFile"
],

"Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installRequirementsFile"
]
},
"extra": {
"symfony-app-dir": "app",
"symfony-web-dir": "web"
}
}
Can you please help me to fix this?
As said by #AhmedSiouani, the error tells you that they can't find a composer.phar file.
Some things you can do:
Download the Composer-SetUp.exe and install Composer as told on the downloads page (scroll to 'Windows Installer');
Download the composer.phar file and put that in your project (not recommend);
Download the composer.phar file and put that in a directory which is in your PATH environment variable1;
Download the composer.phar file and create a composer.bat file which executes the composer.phar file. Put the code below in it and save it in a directory which is in your PATH environment variable1.
#echo off
php "path\to\composer.phar" %*
1: You can see which directories are in the PATH environment variable by
running echo %PATH% in your cmd.
You can also put the directory where this file lives in the PATH environment. To do that, go to Computer (right click) > Settings > Advanced Settings > Environments Variables (under the 'advanced' tab) and set the PATH variable with your directory path (or add the path to the current PATH variable, by putting a ; between the paths).
The error message is clear enough, it's not related to your composer.json file.
I think you just need to move your composer.phar file to your project directory.
Also, a much reusable solution would be to call it through your PATH environment variable.
Got the same issue with me "Could not open input file: composer.phar"
Fix : Go to the project directory and run following command
php -r "readfile('https://getcomposer.org/installer');" | php
and run
php composer.phar install or php composer.phar update
This will work awesome.
I working on fedora 17 I ran it on console to download composer.phar :
$ curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
then it's work now.
Make sure your code:
"kriswallsmith/assetic": "1.1.*#dev"
"doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle": "dev-master"
is changed to:
"kriswallsmith/assetic": "1.1.*#dev",
"doctrine/doctrine-migrations-bundle": "dev-master"
notice adding a , (comma).
