I am trying to install CiviCRM on a Drupal 8 site using Composer 2. I am getting the error below. Is this a Composer 2 issue? Do I need to revert to Composer 1? Is there a different fix? Thx.

=======================================

composer require civicrm/civicrm-{core,packages,drupal-8}:'~5.36'

./composer.json has been updated Running composer update civicrm/civicrm-core civicrm/civicrm-packages civicrm/civicrm-drupal-8 Loading composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1 - civicrm/civicrm-core[5.36.0, ..., 5.37.x-dev] require symfony/finder ~3.0 || ~4.4 -> found symfony/finder[v3.0.0-BETA1, ..., 3.4.x-dev, v4.4.0-BETA1, ..., 4.4.x-dev] but the package is fixed to v5.2.4 (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. - Root composer.json requires civicrm/civicrm-core ~5.36 -> satisfiable by civicrm/civicrm-core[5.36.0, 5.36.1, 5.36.x-dev, 5.37.x-dev].

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.

  • Based on the error message, I would try removing composer.lock and the entire vendor folder and also web/modules/contrib/civicrm then trying again. It sounds like an earlier attempt failed and it's now in a stuck situation. Composer 2 should work, but also is this drupal 8 or 9?

    @Demerit, Thank you very much. Your suggestions worked. This is on a Drupal 8 site that I used a theme demo as the starter. That might have created a bit of a goofy setup to begin with. Thanks again!

  • Just to keep the record going (and for anyone who has a similar issues), this also happened on a Drupal 9 vanilla installation. The solution also works on D9. Thx.

Reset to default
2

As per comments there were some leftover installed vendor files and removing composer.lock and the entire vendor folder and also web/modules/contrib/civicrm and then trying again clears it.
