The missing modules don't get installed after updating with Composer

Question

To update a site locally, I cloned the code base with git to my local computer and imported the database, then ran "composer update --with-dependencies", there were no errors, then I went to /web directory and ran "drush updb -y", it showed me 8 missing modules:

The following module is missing from the file system: add_to_head    [warning]
bootstrap.inc:276
The following module is missing from the file system: context        [warning]
bootstrap.inc:276
The following module is missing from the file system: context_ui     [warning]
bootstrap.inc:276
The following module is missing from the file system: libraries      [warning]
bootstrap.inc:276
The following module is missing from the file system: menu_target    [warning]
bootstrap.inc:276
The following module is missing from the file system: panelizer      [warning]
bootstrap.inc:276
The following module is missing from the file system: phpmailer      [warning]
bootstrap.inc:276
The following module is missing from the file system: site_verify    [warning]
bootstrap.inc:276
The following module is missing from the file system:                [warning]
special_menu_items bootstrap.inc:276
No database updates required                                         [success]

I tried to log in to the local site, but first ran "drush pm-uninstall captcha", but the site returned the white screen and:

"The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later."

I thought that the problem was due to the missing modules and started running "composer require" for each of them. But they either didn't get installed or returned:

 Using version ^3.0@beta for drupal/phpmailer

    Would you like to try reinstalling the package instead [yes]? yes

  - Installing drupal/phpmailer (3.0.0-beta2): Cloning 8.x-3.0-beta2 from cache

I don't what else to do. Is the "unexpected error" caused by those missing modules? What should I do to fix it?

UPDATE: I looked at /admin/reports/dblog and here's the php error I saw:

Symfony\Component\Routing\Exception\RouteNotFoundException: Route "" does not exist. in Drupal\Core\Routing\RouteProvider->getRouteByName() (line 201 of /sites/bak/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Routing/RouteProvider.php).

Answer 1

I faced Same error before so what you have to do is for example let's say it is panelizer.

The following module is missing from the file system: panelizer [warning]bootstrap.inc:276

1) use composer and say composer require drupal/panelizer in the terminal.

2)After installing the module now try to uninstall the module right away using the command below

drush pm-uninstall panelizer

Now go to your site and do following operations. Configuration>Development>Performance and now do the Clear-Cache. If you come back to your site you will not find an error.

Answer 2

I managed to solve this issue by executing the following steps:

• composer clear-cache
• rm -r vendor/
• rm -r web/sites/modules/contrib
• composer install

Answer 3

Remove your Composer lock file and run following command in sequence:

• composer clear-cache
• composer install
• composer require Drupal/module

Answer 4

Remove your Composer lock, vendor folder and run 'composer install' again
