2. Error.

Additional info

Have tried completely removing vendor folder, tried clearing composer cache (composer clear-cache) and also downgrading the Composer version requirement, still doing it.

Any chance this is happening on a public box we could get some SSH access to? If so, can you send over to [email protected]?

Local Vagrant dev VM for now

Laravel Homestead 8.4.0
Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-50-generic x86_64)

Was last working on Friday then seems to have just fallen apart today, nothing has changed with the box set up

Have also just tried running again but sudo'ing the composer command, still doing it.

I've just ran our deployment with envoyer and that's loading plugin-installer from cache, but I don't want to risk killing it on the staging/live servers by clearing the cache on there

... BUT...

That appears to be loading - Installing craftcms/plugin-installer (1.5.2): Loading from cache

which works fine (notice 1.5.2 instead of 1.5.4)

[DomLip94]

Just tried forcing 1.5.2 to work, still nothing. How odd

Renamed composer.json to composer.json.bak
Removed vendor folder
exec'd composer clear-cache

then

vagrant@homestead:/home/*******$ sudo composer require craftcms/cms craftcms/plugin-installer:1.5.2 --ignore-platform-reqs

Gotta be some local permissions issue? Try running it without sudo?

Just tested locally and it works as expected:

[DomLip94]

Done the 1 thing I hadn't already tried - destroy the vagrant box and go again.

And guess what...

I'm fuming (with myself)

[digimiles]

Have destroyed and up again but also getting this error trying to install with composer.

The latest version of Laravel Homestead also.

Reopening

I have been getting it myself again. Quickest workaround was just zipping the vendor/ in production, downloading and unzipping where it is in the dev dir.
Obviously this isn't ideal

Destroying VM doesn't fix

[digimiles]

Hmmm. I see.

This is my first install in a while so don't have an updated production copy but will try it with a copy from the repo.

If anyone has a solution to this I'd be all ears.

[digimiles]

Thought I had a fix by using NFS but that caused a dump-autoload error.

Script @composer dump-autoload -o handling the post-create-project-cmd event returned with error code 255

At least I got the vendor directory full.

[digimiles]

Workaround when running Laravel Homestead.

1. Enable NFS for mounted drives in Homestead.yaml.
2. Install with Composer - dump-autoload error triggered right at the end.
3. vagrant destroy
4. Disable NFS.
5. vagrant up
6. composer update

So far so good.

[angrybrad]

Cool... going to go ahead and close this out, but feel free to comment if it comes up again.

[DomLip94]

An easier workaround for me was not doing all that - just installed Composer globally to OSX, and ran the command from the terminal in the actual file directory.
Seems the quickest and best way @digimiles

[godwinajit]

I resolved this issue by

1. Installing in host

vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd

1. In the vagrant file

config.vm.synced_folder "./webroot", "/opt/webroot", type:"nfs", mount_options: %w{rw,async,fsc,nolock,vers=3,udp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,noatime,actimeo=2}

Can you say more about this, @DomLip94 ? I'm running into this very issue, today, on a fresh install of Catalina, VirtualBox, Vagrant, Composer, etc. I get the following:

I don't quite understand your solution, but would love to get this sorted out. I installed Composer the way it's documented on the Composer website … but what do you mean when you say:

ran the command from the terminal in the actual file directory.

Thank you!

[marcamos]

Update, in case anyone finds themselves in the same boat as me: by adding type: "nfs" to folders:, then running vagrant reload --provision, composer install finally worked!

[tonyclemmey]

@marcamos I am having the same issue as you mentioned when using Composer 2. I was not able to run composer update successfully without rolling back to Composer version 1.x. https://github.com/laravel/homestead/issues/1549

@marcamos where do I find the file to make this change?

[marcamos]

Hey @wssrstrm! You can find it here: ~/Homestead/Homestead.yaml

[wssrstrm]

Thanks for the quick reply! I see why I got confused: I'm having this same issue with Composer 2 and Craft CMS, but instead of a Homestead VM it's a Virtual Box VM, so I have to figure out how to make this change on this other type of VM.
