Can not install laravel-ide-helper on Laravel 10.4.1

[masterwto]

Versions:

• ide-helper Version: 2.12.3
• Laravel Version: 10.4.1
• PHP Version: 8.1.3

Description:

I have a new empty laravel project and want to install laravel-ie-helper:

composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper --dev

and it reports:

Using version ^2.12 for barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper[v2.12.0, ..., v2.12.3] require illuminate/console ^8 || ^9 -> found illuminate/console[v8.0.0, ..., v8.83.27, v9.0.0, ..., v9.52.4] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.
    - barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper v2.12.2 requires composer/pcre ^1.0 -> found composer/pcre[1.0.0, 1.0.1] but the package is fixed to 3.0.2 (lock file version) by a partial update and that version does not match. Make sure you list it as an argument for the update command.
    - Root composer.json requires barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper ^2.12 -> satisfiable by barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper[v2.12.0, v2.12.1, v2.12.2, v2.12.3].

Use the option --with-all-dependencies (-W) to allow upgrades, downgrades and removals for packages currently locked to specific versions.
You can also try re-running composer require with an explicit version constraint, e.g. "composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper:*" to figure out if any version is installable, or "composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper:^2.1" if you know which you need.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

Steps To Reproduce:

composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper --dev

This is weird:

barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper v2.12.2 requires composer/pcre ^1.0 -> found composer/pcre[1.0.0, 1.0.1] but the package is fixed to 3.0.2 (lock file version) by a partial update and that version does not match. Make sure you list it as an argument for the update command.

But laravel-ide-helper itself does not use composer/pcre. https://github.com/composer/class-map-generator/blob/main/composer.json however does, but on a v2/v3 which you match your lockfile…

Did you try the suggested hint with --with-all-dependencies? Just curious if it works.

After updating Composer itself with:

php composer.phar self-update

I then ran:

composer require --dev barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper --with-all-dependencies

to fix the issue.

Closing, as OP never came back
