Require minimum stable version of dot-access-configuration

[grasmash]

The composer.json file for drupal-console-core currently requires "dev-master" for dflydev/dot-access-configuration. This does not follow best practices for a composer package, which dictate that a minimum stable version should be defined.

Would it be possible to change this constraint?

@grasmash I will ping the maintainer and ask to tag a release since latest stable is broken when using symfony 3.x components.

This is my PR dflydev/dflydev-dot-access-configuration#8 fixing the issue at the dflydev/dot-access-configuration project.

The dev-master dependency is causing problems for me as well. Drupal Console /Drupal Consoel Core 1.0.0-rc14, Drupal 8.2.5, symfony/console 2.8.15.

Initial symptom:

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '.../vendor/composer/../dflydev/dot-access-configuration/src/Dflydev/DotAccessConfiguration/YamlFileConfigurationBuilder.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in .../vendor/symfony/class-loader/ApcClassLoader.php on line 110

Then, after composer update (which apparently updated nothing, just rewrote the autoload files):

Error: Class 'Dflydev\DotAccessConfiguration\YamlFileConfigurationBuilder' not found in Drupal\Console\Core\Utils\ConfigurationManager->loadConfiguration() (line 86 of .../vendor/drupal/console-core/src/Utils/ConfigurationManager.php).

It seems that dev-master of dflydev/dot-access-configuration has drifted, and no longer works with Drupal Console 1.0.0-rc14. Since rc14 is for Drupal 8.2.5, and Symfony 3.x is only in dev releases of Drupal (didn't check today, but last I heard even dev was back to 2.x), couldn't you require the stable tag in your rc releases, and dev-master in your dev branch? As @grasmash says, it's frustrating when the dependencies of an rc release drift over time.

composer require dflydev/dot-access-configuration:1.0.1 is not a viable workaround, as that conflicts with the dev-master request in drupal/console-core.

Wonders if there's a way to define a Composer version alias via a Composer command.

[greg-1-anderson]

Like https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/aliases.md, but for the command line.

[greg-1-anderson]

composer require 'dflydev/dot-access-configuration:1.0.1 as dev-master' almost does the trick, except I get:

The .git directory is missing from ...

Might work if I get that back, though. I think I stripped it deliberately.

UPDATE FOR POSTERITY: The only problem here was that I had deleted my .git directory. The above composer require command is a viable workaround here, if using Drupal Console 1.0.0-rc14

[greg-1-anderson]

.git directories are another reason why requiring dev-master from an rc release is really inconvenient.

[jmolivas]

looking at this @greg-1-anderson, thanks for the information

[greg-1-anderson]

Confirmed that dflydev/dot-access-configuration:1.0.1 works with Drupal Console 1.0.0-rc14 and Drupal 8.2.5.

Tagging an rc15 today cc: @greg-1-anderson @grasmash

[jmolivas]

Fixed with #135

[grasmash]

@jmolivas What did you do about needing the has() method? I'm petitioning for a 1.1.0 release :)

[greg-1-anderson]

@jmolivas We could still use an rc15 tag as well. Do you have an updated estimate on when that will be available?

[grasmash]

https://github.com/dflydev/dflydev-dot-access-data/releases/tag/v1.1.0 was released!
