I'm following the upgrade instructions for moving a CakePHP project to version 4. All went well until the final command:
php composer.phar require --update-with-dependencies "cakephp/cakephp:4.0.*"
This resulted in
Problem 1

- Installation request for cakephp/bake (locked at 1.11.2, required as ^1.9.0) -> satisfiable by cakephp/bake[1.11.2].
The VERSION.txt for the project shows CakePHP at 3.8.11.
In the composer.json file:
"require-dev": {
"cakephp/bake": "^1.9.0",
"cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer": "^3.0",
"cakephp/debug_kit": "^3.17.0",
"josegonzalez/dotenv": "3.*",
"psy/psysh": "@stable"
},
Without updating, 1) change all requirements according to the latest 4.x application template's composer.json file, 2) change the requirements for other CakePHP plugins that you might have installed to a 4.x compatible version too, and then 3) update your dependencies.
composer require --no-update "cakephp/cakephp:^4.0" "cakephp/migrations:^3.0@beta"
composer require --no-update --dev "cakephp/bake:^2.0.3" "cakephp/cakephp-codesniffer:~4.1.0" "cakephp/debug_kit:^4.0" "phpunit/phpunit:^8.5"
composer update --with-dependencies
