I successfully updated my drupal 8.7.8 site to 8.9.0 following the instructions on 'Migrate composer project for Drupal earlier than 8.8.0' Drupal documentation page, section 'Migrating from webflo/drupal-core-strict to drupal/core-recommended'.

    composer update # To update any dependencies as a separate step.
    git add composer.lock; git commit # Save the updates as a separate commit.
    composer remove webflo/drupal-core-strict --no-update
    composer remove drupal/core --no-update
    composer require 'composer/installers:^1.7' --no-update
    rm composer.lock
    rm -rf vendor # Also helps avoid conflicts.
    composer require drupal/core-recommended:^8.8 --update-with-dependencies
    git add composer.json composer.lock; git commit -m "Update Drupal to 8.8.0 and use drupal/core-recommended instead of webflo/drupal-core-strict"

Now I can't update drupal to 8.9.1.

I execute the command

composer update drupal/core-recommended --with-dependencies

To check if the my project now uses drupal/core-recommended I executed

composer show drupal/core-recommended

I'm pretty new with Composer, so take this advice with some skepticism.

I think the problem is you deleted drupal/core:

composer remove drupal/core

I looked in my composer.lock, and found drupal/core-recommended requires drupal/core. (I think maybe drupal/core-recommended is a metapackage that encompasses drupal/core.)

Look at the results of the "prohibits" command. "core-recommended" requires "core".

Hope that helps, Bill

  • composer remove drupal/core was part of the Drupal documentation instructions to migrate from webflo/drupal-core-strict to drupal/core-recommended. Thanks to those commands I could successfully update my site from 8.7.8 to 8.9.0. I made a check on my composer.lock file and I didn't find drupal/core-recommended requires drupal/core. I suspect my problem is caused by webflo which, probably, is still active. Best regards. Paolo
