Composer integration broken

Hi,

I have a similar issue that seems to apear randomly. I solved with a

composer clear-cache

Any idea of what can be going on?

Same issue here (composer 1.2.0), but composer clear-cache doesn't solve the issue for me..

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

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for drupal/clientside_validation 8.1.x-dev -> satisfiable by drupal/clientside_validation[8.1.x-dev].
    - drupal/clientside_validation 8.1.x-dev requires jqueryvalidate ~1.14.0 -> no matching package found.

Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see <https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details.

My guess is that you need to re-define the jqueryvalidate in your root composer.json file, as repositories are not resolved recursively (see https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#repositories).

Can you check if that works?

Thanks, that's correct, when I re-define the jqueryvalidate in my root composer.json the dependency can be resolved. But imho it is a workaround and not a neat solution to this issue.

Another thing that I noticed is that the jqueryvalidate dependency is downloaded to "libraries/jqueryvalidate", but the cdn version is being loaded.

+subscribe

The project page states the following:

clientside_validation_jquery

This modules adds the jQuery Validation Plugin,
to install download the latest version
and extract the archive to the js/lib of this sub module.

If you don't download the library, it will be hot linked to the CDN version.

• This text would have to be updated for the the various ways people can build sites (FTP, Drush, Composer) with Drupal.
• I'll look into this later but this doesn't appear to locate the jqueryvalidate library in the libraries folder so it is using the CDN version instead.
• For people building a Drupal 8 site using composer, there is an issue here in that it can't install the dependency.

An Option

Don't make it a composer dependency but have the module check the libraries folder for jqueryvalidate.If it doesn't exist then have it output something on the Status Report page using hook_requirements https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21lib%21Drupal%21Core%21Extension...

Add this to your composer.json for an easy fix:

    "repositories": {
        "drupal": {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://packages.drupal.org/8"
        },
        "jqueryvalidate": {
            "type": "package",
            "package": {
                "name": "jqueryvalidate",
                "version": "1.15.0",
                "type": "drupal-library",
                "dist": {
                    "url": "https://jqueryvalidation.org/files/jquery-validation-1.15.0.zip",
                    "type": "zip"
                }
            }
        }
    }

For now, removing composer require from module, readme and other stuff will be managed in https://www.drupal.org/node/2895666

This won't break existing setups as CDN version is already made available if not available in module.

Confirmed the fix above in https://www.drupal.org/node/2899231#comment-12244123, patches are now passing if the code is proper :)

Issue still left with the readme update. Since the fix to remove composer dependency was added in this ticket, reopening this one instead of fixing in 2895666.

• Updated README
• Updated clientside_validation_jquery.libraries.yml as per updated README
• Refactored code in hook_library_info_alter to support all scenarios

I feel like I'm messing up a lot today. I mentioned that README and rest all will be fixed as part of other ticket here https://www.drupal.org/project/clientside_validation/issues/2784069#comm...

Closing this again and adding patch + changes there.

Sorry for all the unnecessary notifications.
