Composer throws [ReflectionException] Class Fxp\Co

Question

I installed the latest version (1.0.0. stable) of composer and in my Yii2 project I typed this:

php composer.phar update

It gives me this error:

[ReflectionException] Class Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Repository\NpmRepository does not exist

[ErrorException] Declaration of Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Repository\AbstractAssetsRepository::whatProvides() should be compatible with Composer\Repository\ComposerRepository::whatProvides(Composer\DependencyResolver\Pool $pool, $name, $bypassFilters = false)

Can someone help me how to fix this?

Here's my composer.json

Answer 1

Try this one if update doesn't work.

composer global require fxp/composer-asset-plugin --no-plugins

Answer 2

In my case project on Yii2

$ composer

  [ReflectionException]
  Class Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Repository\NpmRepository does not exist


  [ErrorException]
  Declaration of Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Repository\AbstractAssetsRepository
  ::whatProvides() should be compatible with Composer\Repository\ComposerRepo
  sitory::whatProvides(Composer\DependencyResolver\Pool $pool, $name, $bypass
  Filters = false)

Yii2, in folder vendor/fxp you need to replace the folder composer-asset-plugin or delete it.

Answer 3

I ended up resolving the issue by removing the fxp directory from the .composer directory. On my setup, this does the trick:

rm -rf ~/.composer/vendor/fxp

Now when something needs it, it can just re-download the updated plugin.

Answer 4

If none of the other solutions have worked for you, please try AssetPackagist as an alternative.

1. Add the packages bower-asset/bootstrap and npm-asset/jquery to composer.json like the following:

   "require": {
       "bower-asset/bootstrap": "^3.3",
       "npm-asset/jquery": "^2.2"
   }
   

2. Add a repositories block (if you still don't have one, if you do, just append to it) with the following content:

   "repositories": [
       {
           "type": "composer",
           "url": "https://asset-packagist.org"
       }
   ]
   

3. Run composer install (or composer update)

4. Considering that asset-packagist installs assets in a different directory, add the following lines to your application config (usually called as web.php):

   $config = [
       'aliases' => [
           '@bower' => '@vendor/bower-asset',
           '@npm'   => '@vendor/npm-asset',
       ],
   ];
   

These instructions may change over time. They have been copied from the repo website so they could last in time just in case something happens to the website. I am not the author of the repo but I really appreciate the effort made into it. Please check https://asset-packagist.org/site/about to know more about the project.

If you are struggling with composer, here you have some useful commands:

composer clear-cache - Clear composer related caches

composer install -vvv - Add the parameter "vvv" to show installation process related output (useful to debug)

composer global show - Useful to check if you already have fxp/composer-asset-plugin installed. In my case, it already was, however it was not being detected as a dependency, and the solution I described earlier worked flawless to me - hope it does work for you too!

Answer 5

Try to edit your global composer.json by running:

vi ~/.composer/composer.json then make sure you have this line on it:

{
    "require": {
        "fxp/composer-asset-plugin": "1.1.*"
    }
}

the above answers did not work for me because the version of my fxp/composer-asset-plugin was like 1.1-beta04, when I changed it to "1.1.8" and run updating command:

php /usr/bin/composer global update fxp/composer-asset-plugin --no-plugins

It fixed the problem. but without editing my global composer.json, it was giving me this error:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1 - Installation request for fxp/composer-asset-plugin 1.0.0-beta3 -> satisfiable by fxp/composer-asset-plugin[v1.0.0-beta3]. - fxp/composer-asset-plugin v1.0.0-beta3 requires composer-plugin-api 1.0.0 -> 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.

Answer 6

About nine days ago (around end of March, 2016), Composer\Repository\ComposerRepository::whatProvides api changed. (#2668) So, if you have installed fxp/composer-asset-plugin globally, you should update it. You can do that with:

php composer.phar global update fxp/composer-asset-plugin --no-plugins
