Make conflict with amphp/file lax

[enumag]

I'm trying to use "amphp/file": "dev-master as 1.0.1", in my composer.json because of amphp/file@7dc65ff but composer refuses to install it:

  Problem 1
    - amphp/file dev-master conflicts with amphp/http-client[v4.2.2].
    - amphp/http-client v4.2.2 conflicts with amphp/file[dev-master].
    - amphp/file dev-master conflicts with amphp/http-client[v4.2.2].
    - Installation request for amphp/file dev-master as 1.0.1 -> satisfiable by amphp/file[dev-master].
    - Installation request for amphp/http-client (locked at v4.2.2, required as ^4.0) -> satisfiable by amphp/http-client[v4.2.2].

Now there are two ways to fix this:

1. Add branch alias to amphp/file to let composer know that dev-master is 1.x - then I could depend on ^1.0@dev. (I'd recommend this for all repos.)
2. Remove the conflict with amphp/file v2 here. It doesn't make sense at all since v2 doesn't even exist and the constraint blocks dev versions.

Personally I'd recommend doing both.

Please fix this ASAP.

2. Remove the conflict with amphp/file v2 here. It doesn't make sense at all since v2 doesn't even exist and the constraint blocks dev versions.

It makes as much sense as using "require": { "amphp/file": "^1" } instead of "require": { "amphp/file": ">=1" }. It's basically an optional "require".

I've added the branch alias to amphp/file.

@kelunik I tried again but unfortunately it seems it didn't help. Composer is still refusing to install it.

Works fine for me, how does your composer.json look like?

[enumag]

Yeah, minimal use-case works for me too. But it breaks as soon as I add anything (even totally unrelated) into require-dev:

{
    "require": {
        "amphp/file": "^1.0@dev",
        "amphp/http-client": "^4.2"
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "psr/log": "*"
    }
}

      - Installation request for amphp/file ^1.0@dev -> satisfiable by amphp/file[1.x-dev].           
      - amphp/file dev-master conflicts with amphp/http-client[v4.2.2].                               
      - remove amphp/file 1.x-dev|keep amphp/file dev-master                                          
      - Installation request for amphp/http-client ^4.2 -> satisfiable by amphp/http-client[v4.2.2].                                                                                                     

Honestly I think it's a composer bug. Can you please tell me if this happens for you too?

I tried to update composer but it didn't help.

[kelunik]

Confirmed, this pretty much looks like a composer bug.

[enumag]

Thanks... could you make a stable release of amphp/file with amphp/file@7dc65ff? I'd like to avoid using workarounds.

[enumag]

@kelunik As you might have noticed the bug won't be fixed in Composer 1.x. Would you consider removing the >=2 conflict for now until Composer 2.0 is stable and commonly used?

[maxwagner-dev]

Got the same error as @enumag . My workaround currently is setting amphp/file strict to version v1.0.0 instead of ^v1.0.0.
Maybe you can consider implement this Pull-Request to avoid any further problems, until version 2 of amphp/file is out.

[kelunik]

Using amphp/http-client => ^4@dev should work for now then. :-)
