CakePHP 4.x installation via Composer fails on plugin-installer

Platform and Target: Debian 10 with php 7.3.19-1~deb10u1

I have Vagrant installed and tried to create a new project with the latest cake version. After my vagrant up command, and login in via putty, I ran the command as provided on the cake website.

composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app:~4.0 my_app_name

What happened

It then starts to run, installs the basic cake app, and tries to install the first plugin. It then crashes and does nothing anymore. It throws the following error:

I tried running with the --verbose parameter, but I'm not really getting wiser (you can find this at the bottom of the post). When I installed cake 4.2 via a direct download on github and ran composer update, it works just fine. When I installed composer.phar directly in the directory, it gives the exact same error again.

Any ideas on what could be the issue here?

Solution

  • Based of https://stackoverflow.com/a/63139337/1110760 & https://stackoverflow.com/a/65627308/1110760

    composer update --prefer-source

    The argument --no-plugins worked as well, sort of. It skipped some packages but my localhost seemed to work just fine. This is faster, but it's missing some.
