Help Wanted Understanding composer error

[TGDesigns]

Hi all,
Sorry if it seems like im always asking for help!

Im attempting to dive deep into learning frameworks and general webdev tools, im attempting to follow this tutorial:
Symfony Tutorial: Building a Blog (Part 1)

Which I unserddstand so far but im running into an issue when I get to the section where I need to run this command:

composer require hwi/oauth-bundle php-http/guzzle6-adapter php-http/httplug-bundle

it fails and reverts my composer.json with this error message:

Using version ^0.6.3 for hwi/oauth-bundle
Using version ^2.0 for php-http/guzzle6-adapter
Using version ^1.16 for php-http/httplug-bundle
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Restricting packages listed in "symfony/symfony" to "5.0.*"
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for hwi/oauth-bundle ^0.6.3 -> satisfiable by hwi/oauth-bundle[0.6.3].
    - hwi/oauth-bundle 0.6.3 requires symfony/framework-bundle ^2.8|^3.0|^4.0 -> no matching package found.
  Problem 2
    - Installation request for php-http/httplug-bundle ^1.16 -> satisfiable by php-http/httplug-bundle[1.16.0].
    - php-http/httplug-bundle 1.16.0 requires symfony/config ^3.4.20 || ^4.2.1 -> no matching package found.

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://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details.
 - It's a private package and you forgot to add a custom repository to find it

Read <https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.

Any suggestions on how I can go about troubleshooting this, my first though was to install symfony/framework-bundle and symfony/config but that didnt seem to work either!

Any help/suggestions greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Tom

At risk of pointing out something you've already spotted, under that command in the tutorial it has this:



Seeing as the tutorial is relatively old, could it be a PHP version issue? Have you tried removing that requirement?

 

[TGDesigns]

I Didn’t try removing the requirement only lowering it, I wasn’t sure that that was the same error I was getting. I’m finding the composer error messages a little hard to understand honestly!

 

[Gummibeer]

For your first time the error messages aren't that clear but at the end they are very verbose.
Could you post the state of your composer.json and php -v output?
At the end the packages require another version of Symfony than you've installed. So the question is which version is installed and on which PHP Version you are running. Could you also run composer show symfony/framework-bundle -a output?

 

[TGDesigns]

Sure, this is my composer.json:

Thanks for the help guys!

 

[Gummibeer]

Okay, that's the problem. You are already on Symfony 5 but the other packages are only tested/work with Symfony 4.
Could you change the version of all entries starting with symfony/ in your composer.json to ^4.4. To be safe you should delete the composer.lock file and vendor folder. After this you can execute the composer require ... command - if everything is fine it will install all the other dependencies as well.

 

[TGDesigns]

Ok thanks gummibeer I will give this a go on lunch and report back!

 

[TGDesigns]

I gave it a go, and im now getting a different error which is good means things are progressing:

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

At this point im wondering if I just find a more up to date tutorial on creating a blog with symfony?

 

[Gummibeer]

Are you sure that you've replaced all Symfony dependency versions by the v4 one?

symfony/framework-bundle v5.0.1 requires symfony/dependency-injection ^5.0.1 -> satisfiable by symfony/dependency-injection[v5.0.1].

Otherwise a bit opinionated but try Laravel. It's a lot easier to setup and also easier for understanding MVC and frameworks.
The community is amazing. So if you have problems just ask here, in Larachat Slack or Laracast Forum. I've also started with Laravel after failing with Zend and Symfony.

 

[TGDesigns]

I might give larval a go the only reason I went with Symfony is that I "thought" I sorta understood composer XD Im looking for something a lightweight as possible so I can go through its inner workings and not have to sift through 8 bazillion files!

 

[Gummibeer]

Laravel is a good try - if you want it simpler you can try Lumen.

 

[TGDesigns]

Thanks for the suggestion to look into larvel gummi, i've had much more success understanding it over symfony!
