Error updating yii2 file: invalid line version "2. *"

Question

I use the composer update in the Yii2 project, but it comes out of the exception. I updated the composer to the latest version, c6cc6dd6070871f4b198ed39f76dd8047c116b02 , but it still does not work:

I do not think this is my mistake, but how to fix the exception?

Answer 1

Michael Nguyen didn’t answer for me, but the update for dev-master did:

 php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:dev-master" 

An update to the composer itself may also be required:

 php composer.phar self-update 

There was also a thorough discussion of this yesterday: link .

UPDATE It seems to me that at the moment, "fxp / composer-asset-plugin: 1.0. * @Dev" is better.

Answer 2

I have the same problem and was discussed at the Yii Forum. This seems to be a bug with "fxp / composer-asset-plugin".

Try

 php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.1" 

Then do whatever you need with the composer

The error is discussed at https://github.com/francoispluchino/composer-asset-plugin/issues/129

Answer 3

It helps me

 composer self-update composer global update
