[Composer\Downloader\TransportException] file could not be downloaded, got redirect without Location (HTTP/1.1 300 Multiple Choices)

[nigelwhite]

I did
composer require --dev drupal/core-dev:8.9.20 --update-with-all-dependencies
Composer starts installing stuff but then errors

[Composer\Downloader\TransportException]

Having same issue, a patch is out here for webform contrib module who is requiring this jquery/icheck library : https://www.drupal.org/project/webform/issues/3264249

This potentially breaks the deployment of tens of thousands of websites using the webform module for Drupal.
The root cause is that https://github.com/dargullin/icheck/archive/1.0.2.zip returns this weird error:

the given path has multiple possibilities: #<Git::Ref:0x00007f0f498260b8>, #<Git::Ref:0x00007f0f49825b68>

Edit: the problem is caused by the fact that 1.0.2 is both a tag and a branch

[LaravZ]

@prudloff-insite installing the patch (for webform 6.1.2 at least) will resolve the issue for now as long as you make sure the composer lock file is updated correctly. I would not be surprised if updating webform will be the solution to this problem since the webform module links to github/fronteed which in turn links to this repo.

[prudloff-insite]

The webform patch does indeed fix the issue but it will require patching a lot of websites.
In the mean time, renaming the 1.0.2 branch could instantly fix the problem for everyone.

[jcnventura]

Please remove the branches with the same name as tags.. A tag can be somewhat considered a 'named branch'. If you ever need to checkout 1.0.1 simply do that: git checkout 1.0.1. It just works.

Deleting the 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 branches will fix the Github release URLs: https://github.com/dargullin/icheck/archive/1.0.2.zip

To the team managing this project:

This issue causes a big problem while upgrading a Drupal website to v9.

Please fix this right away.

[mgbellaire]

This is breaking the developer workflow of anyone trying to use this package. Please remove the branches for 1.0.2 and 1.0.3.

[belray]

this patch for webform worked for us
https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2022-02-14/3264249-6.2.x.patch

[neclimdul]

@dargullin sorry for the direct ping but this is still broken.

[z3cka]

I also got bit by this today. Please fix.

[ericjgruber]

Having the same issue.

[z3cka]

Removing icheck's entry in my project's composer.lock file and then re-running composer install fixed the issue for me.

[belray]

Yes, we have been deleting composer.lock file and re-running composer update. Also removed the patch from composer.json Gordon Belray Information Architect University of Toronto Libraries ***@***.******@***.***> 416-427-7007 On Feb 24, 2022, at 11:04 AM, Eric J.

[cherouvim]

Please remove the branches.

[timcorkerton]

Same here, please remove branches

[munsinator]

Same issue.

[jaylenw]

In the composer.lock file I tried replacing https://github.com/fronteed/icheck/archive/1.0.2.zip with https://github.com/dargullin/icheck/archive/refs/tags/1.0.2.zip and it worked when running composer install. It is not a perfect solution. Got the idea from https://www.drupal.org/project/webform/issues/3264249#comment-14422171

[andykillen]

yep, same here for both Drupal 8 and Drupal 9. gonna go with @jaylenw hack, its not nice but it works. Better if you re-name the branches not to be the same as the tags.
