We are using the Group module on our D8 site. We use composer to manage our modules and dependencies. I am somewhat of a composer novice, so it's possible that the solution is right in front of me, but I cannot see it.

The Group module refuses to be updated. It's currently at 1.0, and I'd like to update it to 1.4. I've tried running a simple composer update drupal/group, using --with-dependencies and --with-all-dependencies I've tried manually updating the composer.json to require both "1.4" and "^1.*". I've tried running the why-not command and all I get is "There is no installed package depending on "drupal/group" in versions not matching 1.4" Yet when I try to update the group module after changing the version in the composer file, all I get is the following.

$ composer update drupal/group --with-all-dependencies
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies 
Nothing to modify in lock file
Installing dependencies from lock file (including require-dev)
Nothing to install, update or remove
Package flow/jsonpath is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use softcreatr/jsonpath instead.
Package container-interop/container-interop is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use psr/container instead.
Generating autoload files 35 packages you are using are looking for funding.
Use the `composer fund` command to find out more!

If I try to update using the version in the command, however I get the following.

$ composer update drupal/group:1.4
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
Nothing to modify in lock file
Unable to find a compatible set of packages based on your non-dev requirements alone.
Your requirements can be resolved successfully when require-dev packages are present.
You may need to move packages from require-dev or some of their dependencies to require.

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires drupal/group 1.*, 1.4, found drupal/group[1.0.0] but it does not match the constraint.

My composer.json is here, but I can't find anything that should be stopping this.

When this happens I typically will do this:

rm -rf vendor
rm -rf web/modules/contrib
composer clearcache

Then run your command again...

composer require 'drupal/group:^1.4'

  • Thanks for your post. This seemed to PARTIALLY work. It does seem to have updated the Group code to 1.4, but I still get a message, "Unable to find a compatible set of packages based on your non-dev requirements alone. Your requirements can be resolved successfully when require-dev packages are present. You may need to move packages from require-dev or some of their dependencies to require. Problem 1 - Root composer.json requires drupal/group ^1.4, found drupal/group[1.0.0] but it does not match the constraint." I'm confused why there would still be a problem if it was a cache issue

    It wasn't a cache issue. You were requesting version 1.4, which doesn't exist. The composer version would be 1.4.0. The command Ryan gave you told you to get the version that STARTS with 1.4, and therefore will find 1.4.0. The carat (^) at the start tells the system 'STARTS WITH'.

  • @Jaypan OK. Now that I've updated the constraint to be ^1.4, would you be able to shed any light on why it's still giving the error in the comment above? Thanks for adding some clarification!

  • I would update your version of composer2 to the latest and then run composer update. When I look this stuff up I see an issue from around Q1 2021. Jul 23, 2021 at 16:28
  • I'm already using version 2.1.5 of composer (what reports to be the most recent). That's what it reports when I run composer self-update at least.
