php - Composer Update error in Laravel 4 after renaming a controller file

Question

hi I got error in my composer update. This happened because I got same class in a two controller file.

• TravelerControler.php

• TravelerControler-backup.php <- just for backup but it calls the
  method not the TravelerControler.php

Some cases my new method that I applied in TravelerControler.php didn't call so I remove the TravelerControler-backup.php file and got 500 error. so I do composer update and this is the result.

First I do composer self-update then do the composer update and got this error:

# composer update

any ideas?

Answer 1

According to the package page on Packagist.org, the latest version compatible with laravel 4 is 1.0.2. However according to the readme for mews/purifier, you can get the latest version by adding "mews/purifier": "dev-master-l4" to your composer.json. You would also have to change the minimum stabability to dev.

So your composer.json would look something like this:

{
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
        ....
        "mews/purifier": "dev-master-l4"
        ....
    },
    ....
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

Then composer update should work.
