Can't install dev-master version using Composer

[MaXal]

I have the following composer.json:

{
  "require-dev": {
    "phing/phing" : "dev-master"
  }
}

Running composer install I get:
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for phing/phing dev-master -> satisfiable by phing/phing[dev-master].
    - phing/phing dev-master requires phpdocumentor/parallel master@dev -> no matching package found.

I believe the reason is the following commit: 9753291

hi @MaXal can you please try adding following to your composer.json - try again and post the result here again please?

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type":"package",
            "package": {
                "name": "phpDocumentor/Parallel",
                "version":"master",
                "source": {
                    "url": "https://github.com/phpDocumentor/Parallel.git",
                    "type": "git",
                    "reference":"master"
                }
            }
        }
    ],
    "require-dev": {
        "phpDocumentor/Parallel": "master@dev",
        "phing/phing" : "dev-master"

nope. after added repository there is an error when composer tries to generate autoload:

Generating autoload files

                                                                                                                  
  [RuntimeException]                                                                                              
  Could not scan for classes inside "/home/test/vendor/phing/phing/vendor/phpDocumentor/Paralle  
  l" which does not appear to be a file nor a folder

I think this line is a problem:

@siad007 I get the same error as @mwierzbi and to be honest I believe there should be no need to add additional dependency to the client composer.json anyway since it defeat the purpose of Composer.

[siad007]

@mwierzbi @MaXal I will do a PR on the phpDocumentor/Parallel repo for composer support.

[mrook]

Should we revert the change in phing so that dev-master works again?

Let us revert the change until phpDocumentor/Parallel will be served by composer. Thx @mrook

[MaXal]

@siad007 Any news on the issue?

[mrook]

@MaXal #800 was just merged, can you test & verify that that solves it?

[MaXal]

@mrook Having the following composer.json:

{
  "name": "vendor_name/package_name",
  "description": "description_text",
  "minimum-stability": "stable",
  "license": "proprietary",
  "authors": [
    {
      "name": "author's name",
      "email": "email@example.com"
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "phing/phing": "dev-master"
  }
}

I still get:

composer install --no-interaction --ansi
 /usr/local/bin/composer install --no-interaction --ansi

@MaXal maybe a cache issue? Did you try a composer clearcache before?

[MaXal]

@siad007 I've just tried. The behavior is the same. We also run composer install each night on clean build agents and they continue to fail since your initial change.

[siad007]

@MaXal as you said there is still a problem with your kind of setup. Would you mind posting more info on your setup then? I mean since there is no issue on travis building a fresh version on ubuntu - there is no failure as well on windows either on the normal cli as on cygwin. Maybe there is a os which should be tested more intensive.
So my questions:

1. which os you are using
2. are the vendor folders for the parallel package are missing? If not please post the path.

[MaXal]

@siad007 Could you please create a single file in the empty folder:

{
  "name": "vendor_name/package_name",
  "description": "description_text",
  "minimum-stability": "dev",
  "license": "proprietary",
  "authors": [
    {
      "name": "author's name",
      "email": "email@example.com"
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "phing/phing": "dev-master"
  }
}

and run composer install from there?

As you can see there is no phpdocumentor/parallel package info on packagist: https://packagist.org/?q=phpdocumentor%2Fparallel&p=0

Execution of composer require --dev phpdocumentor/parallel leads to:

[InvalidArgumentException]
  Could not find a matching version of package phpdocumentor/parallel. Check the package spelling, your version constraint and that the package is available in a stability which matches your minimum-stability (dev).

I'm using macOS but as I said the issue is reproducible on clean Ubuntu agents as well.

@siad007 I have the same problem as @MaXal, even on a fresh install, given the recommended way of installing phing:

{
    "require": {
    	"phing/phing": "3.0.x-dev"
    }
}

Calling composer install results in:

Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for phing/phing 3.0.x-dev -> satisfiable by phing/phing[3.0.x-dev].
    - phing/phing 3.0.x-dev requires phpdocumentor/parallel master@dev -> 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.

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

Please advise, thank you.

[mrook]

Should be resolved by #815 - can someone verify that?

[melbings]

@mrook @siad007 Works! Thanks a lot!

[mrook]

Excellent! Thanks for the feedback 👍
