fxp package error when running composer update

[Rakaris Bakaris]

Hello!
We are getting such error when running composer update:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Composer\Package\RootPackage::getConfig() in /home/account/web/vendor/fxp/composer-asset-plugin/Config/ConfigBuilder.php on line 111

According this I see that fxp package requirement is Composer 1.4.0, but 'composer -v' shows:

ea-php-cli Copyright 2017 cPanel, Inc.
PHP 5.6.32 (cli) (built: Dec 28 2017 10:51:46)
Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.6.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016 Zend Technologies
with the ionCube PHP Loader v4.7.5, Copyright (c) 2002-2014, by ionCube Ltd.

So we have determined that Cpanel uses Composer 1.1.1 but plugin needs at least 1.4.0. How to upgrade to more newer (at least 1.4 but it will be better for 1.6) version?


Thanks!

Hi @Rakaris Bakaris,

Sorry to hear you are having issues with composer. I've reached out to our developers this morning and an internal case(EA-7118) has been opened for updating composer. I can't say when it may make it into the product but has been flagged as a high priority issue. You may look to the EA4 changelogs below for the case number:
EasyApache 4 Change Log - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation

Thanks,

Quick update: cpanel-php-composer will be v1.6.2 in v72 soon.

Since its not an EA4 RPM it won't be noted in those change logs. Eventually we plan to have an ea-php-composer RPM for EA4 that will mean all versions of cPanel will get the latest.

Hope that helps!

Hello!
Thank you for information. Do you know when v72 will be available?
Thanks.

Thanks.

It should be in EDGE in the next few weeks. No hard date at this time though

Hello,

There's no specific time frame to offer at this time. Generally, it doesn't happen before the previous version is published to the RELEASE build tier. You can read more about the product versions and release process at:

Product Versions and the Release Process - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

You may also want to subscribe to our Edge Users mailing list. We send out email updates when new EDGE versions are published:

Thank you.

Just confirming... there is no way for us to update our version of Composer (which is 1.1.1 - 2 year old!!) until v72 arrives?

Good news! We were able to get the updated version of Composer included with cPanel & WHM version 70. Here's the corresponding entry in the 70 Change Log:

Fixed case CPANEL-17988: Update cpanel-php-composer to 1.6.2-1.cp1158.

The publication of cPanel & WHM 70 to the Release build tier is tentatively planned for the middle of May 2018. Check out today's blog post for more details about some recent improvements included as part of version 70:
