composer: Composer 2.3.0 break symfony 3.4 app

Solution / workaround:

For such cases where script handlers are so old and unmaintained and won’t be fixed by third parties, if you cannot fix them yourself I would highly recommend storing a Composer 2.2 composer.phar in your old project directory. You can then use it with php composer.phar install or similar to install legacy projects while still having a newer Composer installed globally on the machine for other projects.

We’ve also had this issue in a few of our projects. Similar to @jjmackow, until we remove the sensio/distribution-bundle dependency, our fix was to either do:

composer self-update 2.2.9

or pass in the version to the Composer installer

--version=2.2.9

@hkorik yes that would require changes in the PatternLab repo (https://github.com/pattern-lab/patternlab-php/tree/master I guess?) it seems, same as SensioDistributionBundle it is way outdated though and not maintained anymore it seems.

For such cases I would highly recommend storing a Composer 2.2 composer.phar in these old project dirs, so you can use that to install them, but still have a newer composer installed on the machine for other projects. Ideally you would then migrate away from those outdated projects but I know in reality this is sometimes hard or impossible.

Seldaek on Mar 31, 2022

You can replace these with direct calls to app/console, something like "scripts": {"post-update-cmd": ["app/console cache:clear"]}. The distribution bundle indirection adds no value there IIRC.

Seldaek on Apr 1, 2022

The script handler of Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle does not seem to be compatible with the newer version of symfony/process shipped in composer 2.3

This is something to be fixed in Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle. alternatively, you could drop the Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler::buildBootstrap script entirely (IIRC, the bootstrap file that it generates does not bring any performance benefit on PHP 7+)

Closing, hoping most affected people saw this by now.

Seldaek on May 24, 2022

I was having similar issues today (march 22nd, release day of 2.3.0 and 2.3.1) while trying to build Drupal 9.3.9 with composer 2.3.1 as well as 2.3.0. (I was getting issues regarding a file called autoload.php). simply run composer self-update 2.2.9 in the meanwhile to downgrade to the march 15th, 2022 release.

jjmackow on Mar 30, 2022

Yes, this is not a new problem. There’s just no solution to it, so not worth debating again.

Seldaek on Apr 1, 2022

Thanks u @stof ,

The script handler of Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle does not seem to be compatible with the newer version of symfony/process shipped in composer 2.3

yup we have couple of scripts which use “Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler::doSomthing” all ko. quick fix for us, is to simlply bring composer 2.2.9 during the time of upgrade sf deps before play with 2.3.0
