Show result of composer global show.

fxp/composer-asset-plugin v1.2.2 NPM/Bower Dependency Manager for Composer

[vistart]

Maybe the network of bower/npm or it's CDN service is unstable, please wait for a while and try again.

[samdark]

Closing since it's not reproducible so we can't fix it.

[davidjeddy]

@earlcherry Did you run the composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin" to install client assets?

[pasha-pivo]

Hey, guys! I am having the same issue right now. Nothing helps. I tried to remove the executable itself with the root and config folders and reinstall the composer. Tried to remove the project I want to deploy and wipe out everything relative to the composer. Still no luck.
The project was successfully deployed on another machine earlier.
Globally only fxp/composer-asset-plugin installed.

[bitsnaps]

I guess the reason is there was an old version of composer, you need to update it or fix the old one by adding the missing plugin: "fxp/composer-asset-plugin" as @davidjeddy says.

[pasha-pivo]

No, that was because of broken dependencies. It was quickly fixed.
Here is the thread about this issue #14275

[vercotux]

So where are bower assets supposed to be now? vendor/bower-asset or vendor/bower?

[davidjeddy]

@vercotux Yii 2.0.12 has them in ./vendor/bower by default.

[vercotux]

@davidjeddy I'm using 2.0.12 and it puts them in vendor/bower-asset.

[cebe]

that does not depend on the Yii version but on the configuration in application template. You can configure it yourself.

[vercotux]

@cebe I thought so. I assume it mostly depends on the fxp/composer-asset-plugin version which configures your project when you run composer create-project. I reckon it calls some composer-triggered scripts? Is there any way to re-do that step once we've already created the project (without creating a new project)?

[cebe]

Make sure composer config and application aliases match:
