Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting

See https://github.com/RobinHerbots/jquery.inputmask/issues/2 the inputmask library is not longer available. From what I can tell it 'was' working due to github aliasing the package. Now the alias is released composer is failing to install.

Would love to know if anyone has found a workaround solution regarding this.

[petrabarus]

One possible workaround that I've come up with is overriding the jquery.inputmask repository via fxp configuration in composer.json. It might be working. Still haven't tested it, though.

    "config": {
        "fxp-asset": {
            "repositories": {
                "bower-asset/jquery.inputmask": {
                    "type": "bower-github",
                    "url": "https://github.com/petrabarus/jquery.inputmask"
                }
            }
        }
    }

[ddinchev]

Based on @petrabarus idea what solved it for me was this config (still using the official repo as pointed in https://github.com/RobinHerbots/jquery.inputmask/issues/2):

  "config": {
    "fxp-asset": {
      "installer-paths": {
        "npm-asset-library": "vendor/npm",
        "bower-asset-library": "vendor/bower"
      },
      "repositories": [
        {
          "type": "bower-vcs",
          "url": "https://github.com/RobinHerbots/Inputmask.git",
          "name": "bower-asset/jquery.inputmask"
        }
      ]
    }
  },

[petrabarus]

@ddinchev I tried that, somewhat still not working. Have you tried in fresh clone or clear composer cache?

[ddinchev]

Yes, make sure you are using the latest fxp/composer-asset-plugin (I'm using 1.4.1) as the config format has changed. Also after changing composer.json you should do a composer update as composer install only would care for the composer.lock file which would remain unchanged until update.

[petrabarus]

Okay, I just fixed the fxp asset version. This seems to be working. Thanks!

[samdark]

Package author asked github to alias to old name. Will see if that helps.

[petrabarus]

@samdark I guess, the current dependency will need change to point to new repo in 2.0.13.

[samdark]

Not if alias will be there.

[marcobiraghi]

@ddinchev it's a good workaround but it works only local (I think there's something cached, despite clearing). On a fresh VM it doesn't work yet.

[petrabarus]

@marcobiraghi what's your composer and fxp/composer-asset-plugin version?

[marcobiraghi]

@petrabarus 1.3.1

[samdark]

@petrabarus fxp doesn't matter in this case. It's package that was changed.

[cebe]

as far as I see, this could solve the issue: https://github.com/RobinHerbots/jquery.inputmask/issues/2#issuecomment-307345337

[petrabarus]

@samdark i think it's the fxp configuration format. before @ddinchev mentioned it was working in his machine, my fxp version was below 1.3.1. after i upgrade to 1.3.1, it's working fine.

[iskander-g]

@petrabarus can you please say me, how to upgrade to version 1.4.1?

The latest version of composer-asset-plugin is 1.3.1:
https://packagist.org/packages/fxp/composer-asset-plugin#v1.3.1

[pasha-pivo]

Problem 1
- The requested package fxp/composer-asset-plugin ^1.4 is satisfiable by fxp/composer-asset-plugin[1.4.x-dev] but these conflict with your requirements or minimum-stability.

[petrabarus]

@iskander-g

Ah i apologize, i was mixed. The the composer was 1.4.1, and the fxp was 1.3.1.
In mine it's working, though.

[iskander-g]

i have same versions.

i tried your config and ddinchev's one, anyway nothing doesn't work :-(

[petrabarus]

Here's my step.

composer self-update 1.4.1
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.3.1"
composer clear-cache
composer update

[zakharov-ilia]

@petrabarus , correct is "clear-cache".

[cebe]

looks like the redirect is back in place now, so that is why it's working again

[marcobiraghi]

Yes, back to work! 🎉

[pshentsoff]

I was helped by the following (maybe useful to someone):

1. ddinchev's solution - I'm not sure if this is necessary, but it worked
2. $ composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:^1.2.0"
3. $ composer require bower-asset/jquery.inputmask

After this composer updated all dependencies without any problems:
$ composer update
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update
Generating autoload files

[hagenr]

1. sudo composer self-update
2. composer update yiisoft/yii2 yiisoft/yii2-composer
3. composer require bower-asset/jquery.inputmask
4. composer update

worked for me with stability dev

[fehliimaa]

Run only this command in Git Bash in your project repository:

$composer self-update
$composer update yiisoft/yii2 yiisoft/yii2-composer
$composer require bower-asset/jquery.inputmask
$composer update
