Our PHP application has a Packagist dependency aaa/foo
defined in our composer.json file.
This package has a dependency of a deleted Packagist package, let's call it: bbb/bar
.
This is breaking our composer install
.
I have a copy of the deleted package (bbb/bar
) from an old install. What is the easiest way to resolve this given aaa/foo
has not been updated?
I'm hoping there's a way I can copy the source of the missing package to a directory in a lib
directory of the codebase and map it in composer.json
... but I don't think aaa/foo
would recognize that override.
If you have the deleted bbb/bar
package, place it in a local folder.
In the composer.json file of the downloaded and locally placed bbb/bar
package, set the required version number:
{
"name": "bbb/bar",
"description": "...",
"type": "library",
"version": "1.2.3", // Here
}
Then, in the project where you are using aaa/foo
, reference your local package so that it can be installed as a "dependency":
"repositories": [
{
"type": "path",
"url": "./lib/bbb-bar"
}
],
"require": {
"aaa/foo": "^1.0",
"bbb/bar": "1.2.3"
}
