Craft CMS Asked on May 24, 2021
I’m getting "Error: Unknown package has no name defined" when updating a site from 3.0.41.1 to 3.5.15.1
I had read a reinstall of composer had fixed this for someone else, but hasn’t for me. This also happens on the same site (running locally) from a Windows and Mac OS machine – on the Mac I have been able to install some Craft updates, but I get the same error when updating plugins.
Plugins installed are: CKEditor, Contact Form, Redirect Manager, Twitter, Contact Form Extensions, Contact Form Honeypot.
I’m not able to remove any of the plugins via admin to see if they are breaking the update.
I’ve tried deleting the /vendor file and reinstalling the plugins with composer install – they all install fine without errors.
Okay, so this seems to be the incompatibility issue between craftcms/plugin-installer < 1.5.6 and Composer 2: https://github.com/craftcms/plugin-installer/issues/5
The solution is to update in multiple steps:
composer update
, which will fail for a couple of plugins, but will update craftcms/plugin-installer
to 1.5.6
.vendor
folder.composer install
, as the composer.lock
file has already been updated in the first step, and craftcms/plugin-installer
is locked to 1.5.6
now, so the plugins should install fine.composer.lock
file is already 2.0-compatible.Answered by Ottó Radics on May 24, 2021
