Yii2: can not install bower-asset/jquery 1.11.*@stable

[kminooie]

I do have latest fxp/composer-aset-plugin (v1.1.2) but when I try to force jquery 1.11 by adding this "bower-asset/jquery": "1.11.*@stable"
to composer.json file after creating a new YII2 project, I end up getting this error:

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

Problem 1

• The requested package bower-asset/jquery could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.
  Problem 2
  
  
  
  • yiisoft/yii2 2.0.7 requires bower-asset/jquery 2.2._@stable | 2.1._@stable | 1.11.*@stable -> no matching package found.
  
  
• yiisoft/yii2 2.0.6 requires bower-asset/jquery 2.1._@stable | 1.11._@stable -> no matching package found.
• yiisoft/yii2 2.0.7 requires bower-asset/jquery 2.2._@stable | 2.1._@stable | 1.11.*@stable -> no matching package found.
• Installation request for yiisoft/yii2 >=2.0.6 -> satisfiable by yiisoft/yii2[2.0.6, 2.0.7].

this is really issue #6537 but that one is locked for some reason. this used to work before, I don't know if its the recent updates in composer in fxp/composer-asset-plugin but it has stopped working.

my current composer version is "Composer version 1.0-dev (e8abc90b923250527a2d68712b663f0f41790594) 2016-03-09 11:44:27"

I have already created this issue https://github.com/francoispluchino/composer-asset-plugin/issues/202

and was able to work around it by removing bower-asset/jquery 1.11.*@stable from composer.json, running composer update and then adding it from command line:

composer require "bower-asset/jquery:1.11.*@stable"

I thought that I should mention it here in case other people had the same issue. I don't actually expect anything be done about it.

The issue is definitely related to FXP plugin and composer, not to Yii2.
Therefore I'll leave it closed for now

This issue is related to FXP
so you first update FXP with the below latest command
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.0.3" it will work

I ran into a similar issue. I had a bower and bower-asset folder in vendor. Worked fine after removing them.
