Laravel-ide-helper: Error when installing

[showFocus]

I'm using a frsh install of Laravel 5.2.36. When I run this command:

composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper

I get the following error:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

I have no issue when installing fresh 5.2, but 5.1 yes.
i think the package composer.json should be

"phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock": "^2.0|^3.0"

if you currious, just hit composer why phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock

to fix the issue, i first remove phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock:^3.0

composer rem phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock

then install the phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock:^2.0

composer req phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock:^2.0

then install this package

composer req barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper

hope it helps.

[barryvdh]

Can you submit a pr?

[nueko]

Done.

[cbcaio]

I had the same problem, however I was using laravel 5.2.36 and I "accidentally" ran composer update, only then the phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock updated to 3.0.

[AmrAlfoly]

same problem here
i even tried the fix that was suggested by @nueko but the same error appears when i try to install the ide-helper package

[VictorLima17]

Same problem here

[zek]

Same in here

[frederik-jacques]

got the same issue after adding IDE helper to Laravel v5.2.36

[somuraijoe]

same :)

[Carloscentro]

While this is corrected, simply edit composer.json in Laravel project:
"require": {
"php": ">=5.5.9",
"laravel/framework": "5.1.*",
"doctrine/dbal": "~2.3",
"barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "^2.1"

Then run composer update

This works for me...

[VictorLima17]

Worked here @Carloscentro
Thanks

[barryvdh]

Why are you all getting phpDocumentor v3? Is there some new library using that?

[JoshZA]

Same issue on fresh install of 5.2

[barryvdh]

So what package is conflicting? (So not reflection docblock, but the other package using v3 of reflection docblock)

[VictorLima17]

In my case,came together with Laravel @barryvdh

[ryanvade]

I cloned a project that is using 5.2.36, ran composer install, and am now getting this error. The fix @nueko suggested fixes it.

[coenjacobs]

phpspec/prophecy requires this:

"phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock": "^2.0|^3.0.2",

via this pull request. Reasons are some compatibility issue with Symfony 3.1.

[barryvdh]

Well, in that case Composer should install ^2.0, not keep 3.x..

[h4ckth1ssh1t]

I've used the solution @Carloscentro suggested. Just adding the "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "^2.1" line to the require object of the composer.json file, Composer automatically updates all the required dependencies and installs the desired package.

[skaisser]

Just Followed @h4ckth1ssh1t instructions and it worked perfectly here!

[ozanhazer]

Hmm composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper fails but updating composer.json and then installing is fine as @Carloscentro and others mentioned...
Using laravel v5.2 and composer v1.1.2. I feel like this might be some composer bug or something :\

[barryvdh]

Yeah if anyone can create a PR for v3, that would be great :)

[barryvdh]

In the meanwhile, I updated my fork and used that for ReflectionDocblock.

Can you try with laravel-ide-helper v2.2.0?

[ZamanOof]

I try 1.11 & 2.2.0 u mentioned , i have the same error :
**composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper ~2.2.0

* I use composer version : *


Composer version 1.1.2 2016-05-31 19:48:11


and composer.json


{ "name": "laravel/laravel", "description": "The Laravel Framework.", "keywords": ["framework", "laravel"], "license": "MIT", "type": "project", "require": { "laravel/framework": "4.2.*", "laracasts/commander": "~1.0" }, "require-dev": { "way/generators":"~2.0", "codeception/codeception": "~2.0", "laracasts/testdummy": "~1.0" }, "autoload": { "classmap": [ "app/commands", "app/controllers", "app/models", "app/database/migrations", "app/database/seeds", "app/tests/TestCase.php" ] }, "scripts": { "post-install-cmd": [ "php artisan clear-compiled", "php artisan optimize" ], "post-update-cmd": [ "php artisan clear-compiled", "php artisan optimize" ], "post-create-project-cmd": [ "php artisan key:generate" ] }, "config": { "preferred-install": "dist" }, "minimum-stability": "stable" }

[barryvdh]

You are using 4.2?

[ZamanOof]

yes, and try 1.11 it was the same error .

[theWhiteFox]

"require": {
"php": ">=5.5.9",
"laravel/framework": "5.1.",
"doctrine/dbal": "~2.3",
"barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "2.2.@dev"
}

check php.ini file for
;extension=php_mbstring.dll
;extension=php_fileinfo.dll
;extension=php_openssl.dll
and remove the ;

then
composer update
This worked for me.

dependency hell !! which version of laravel-ide-help is suitable for laravel5.4 ? i tried everything still don't work, so frustrated...

[wonbin2011]

v2.4 it works ,fu*ck,here is the composer.jason config

    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.6.4",
        "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "v2.4",
        "laravel/framework": "5.4.*",
        "laravel/tinker": "~1.0",
        "phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock": "^2.0.4"
    },

[mfn]

@barryvdh all versions mentioned / discussed here are no longer supported and we're not aware of current installations issues (except with composer v2 😸 ), therefore I vote for closing this issue :}
