Can't install due to conflicting requirements

[andremartinez]

I'm trying to require DoctrineModule using:

composer require doctrine/doctrine-module:5.3.0

Pretty standard, but I'm getting the following:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires doctrine/doctrine-module 5.3.0 -> satisfiable by doctrine/doctrine-module[5.3.0].
    - doctrine/doctrine-module 5.3.0 requires doctrine/annotations ^1.13.3 -> found doctrine/annotations[1.13.3, ..., 1.14.3] but the package is fixed to 2.0.1 (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.

The conflicting package is PHP-CS-Fixer, that requires this:

        "doctrine/annotations": "^2",

While the composer.json in DoctrineModule requires this:

        "doctrine/annotations": "^1.13.3",

I'm not sure whether doctrine/annotations has a stable release for version 2, and this repo should upgrade the requirement or not

What do you guys suggest?

[demiankatz]

I'm seeing the same problem and would be interested to hear a solution! I'm not familiar enough with Doctrine to know whether this module could add || ^2 to the annotations dependency, or if the backward-incompatible changes in annotations v2 will break something.

[andremartinez]

I was thinking of forking this myself and making some tests, or even creating a pull request, but I really would like to hear someone else's opinion before committing to implementing anything

[greg0ire]

Please go ahead. v2 shouldn't be too hard to upgrade to.

[demiankatz]

Thanks, @andremartinez! If I can do anything to help you, please let me know. I'm not an expert in any of this (I discovered this problem because I'm in the very early stages of migrating my project from Laminas\Db to Doctrine), but still happy to help with testing, troubleshooting, etc. to the best of my ability.

[andremartinez]

Ok this is gonna be one of those...

The require-dev dependency of doctrine/mongodb-odm also requires "doctrine/annotations": "^1.*", on their require meaning an upgrade should happen there as well.

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires doctrine/annotations ^2, found doctrine/annotations[2.0.0, 2.0.1] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.
  Problem 2
    - doctrine/mongodb-odm is locked to version 2.4.3 and an update of this package was not requested.
    - doctrine/mongodb-odm 2.4.3 requires doctrine/annotations ^1.12 -> found doctrine/annotations[1.12.0, ..., 1.14.3] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (^2).

Use the option --with-all-dependencies (-W) to allow upgrades, downgrades and removals for packages currently locked to specific versions.

Also phpstan analyse is returning this nonsense:

Script phpstan analyse handling the phpstan event returned with error code 1
Script @phpstan was called via check

I just cloned this, how come?

[demiankatz]

I suppose another consideration is to approach this from the opposite direction -- here's the commit where php-cs-fixer dropped annotations v1, and I can't really see a compelling reason for the change. I doubt we can persuade them to revert it (after all, forward progress is generally a good thing), but hopefully it's a sign that changes required won't be too terrible.

Do you get the phpstan error after a composer install of the current dependencies, before changing anything related to the annotations? Have you compared the way phpstan runs in continuous integration here with your local approach? (Sorry if these are obvious questions -- just trying to be as helpful as I can with limited project familiarity :-) ).

...but hopefully it's a sign that changes required won't be too terrible.

I think it will be annoying, but just annoying

Yup the Most recent job apparently failed like this well

[demiankatz]

Interesting. I can't see anything obviously wrong with this, but the formatting of the phpstan output doesn't exactly make it easy to parse what's going on! I imagine it's possible that a new release of phpstan has broken something. Since there is no committed composer.lock file in this project (for good reason), it might make sense to pin the dev tools in composer.json to more specific versions so that there's finer-grained control over when they get updated. Otherwise, a new tool release can cause a mystery broken build like this. I've learned of this problem the hard way, and now I just pin everything to specific versions so I can update tools on my own terms and schedule. :-)

[greg0ire]

it might make sense to pin the dev tools

FTR, that's exactly what we do on some other Doctrine repositories where this situation happens too often.

Note that mongodb-odm 2.5.0 was released yesterday, and that it now supports annotations v2: https://github.com/doctrine/mongodb-odm/blob/b8ff84dacb3b4926de346919211bf0fabe86e31a/composer.json#L26

You might want to give this another try.

[demiankatz]

Thanks, @greg0ire, that's all good to know! Things still won't resolve as long as this project's composer.json lacks the "|| ^2.0" option, so the question is, would adding that break anything?

[greg0ire]

Well there's only one way to find out…

[demiankatz]

@greg0ire, I did a quick experiment and found that the next domino in the chain appears to be https://github.com/doctrine/mongodb-odm -- I think that will need to be updated to support annotations v2 before we can make progress on this PR. It looks like there's work in progress on that in doctrine/mongodb-odm#2498, though it looks like there hasn't been a lot of activity there for more than a month.

[greg0ire]

@demiankatz what are you talking about? As per my message above, mongodb-odm 2.5.0 has support for v2. The PR you are pointing at is only about making annotations optional, it's something orthogonal to our issue.

I did a quick experiment

Please make a PR, it will be easier to discuss any hurdles you are having. Right now I don't know what you try, and can't tell why you would be blocked.
