Cannot update yii2 via composer bower-asset/jquery could not be found

Question

I was updating my yii2 via composer then reverted back to the old beta version.

Here is the error on my composer:

Loading composer repositories with          


        

Answer 1

Finally fixed it, just followed the steps on the UPGRADE.md doc

If you are using Composer to upgrade Yii, you should run the following command first (once for all) to install the composer-asset-plugin:

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:^1.2.0"

(See http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-start-installation.html#installing-from-composer for latest version.)

You may also need to add the following code to your project's composer.json file :

"extra": {
    "asset-installer-paths": {
        "npm-asset-library": "vendor/npm",
        "bower-asset-library": "vendor/bower"
    }
}

Hopes this helps :)
