My understanding when running "composer update" from the root of my web application is that new versions of files will end up in vendor. I can read the upgrading
but I can if i so wish also run commands like :
[andrew@darkstar Config]$ sdiff /srv/http/CI4-CMS/app/Config/Email.php /srv/http/CI4-CMS/vendor/codeigniter4/framework/app/Config/Email.php
![[Image: CI4-sdiff.png]]()
and compare say config files being used in my web app and also those that are updated which I understand are in vendor/codeigniter4/framework
SO in the image above i can validate yes there were some chnage but only comments. So far so good.
So it looks like I can poke around in vendor/codeigniter4/framework,and files with same name as that in my running web app should be comparable.
Now then my actual composer.json which started quite a while back looks like :
Code:
{
"name": "codeigniter4/appstarter",
"description": "CodeIgniter4 starter app",
"license": "MIT",
"type": "project",
"homepage": "https://codeigniter.com",
"support": {
"forum": "https://forum.codeigniter.com/",
"source": "https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4",
"slack": "https://codeigniterchat.slack.com"
},
"require": {
"php": "^8.1",
"codeigniter4/framework": "4.5.5",
"phpmailer/phpmailer": "^6.8"
},
"require-dev": {
"fakerphp/faker": "^1.9",
"mikey179/vfsstream": "^1.6",
"phpunit/phpunit": "^10.5.16"
},
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/",
"Config\\": "app/Config/"
},
"exclude-from-classmap": [
"**/Database/Migrations/**"
]
},
"autoload-dev": {
"psr-4": {
"Tests\\Support\\": "tests/_support"
}
},
"config": {
"optimize-autoloader": true,
"preferred-install": "dist",
"sort-packages": true
},
"scripts": {
"test": "phpunit"
}
}
if i run composer for a new app stater eg
[andrew@darkstar Desktop]$ composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter newApp
the composer.json file looks like:
Code:
{
"name": "codeigniter4/appstarter",
"description": "CodeIgniter4 starter app",
"license": "MIT",
"type": "project",
"homepage": "https://codeigniter.com",
"support": {
"forum": "https://forum.codeigniter.com/",
"source": "https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4",
"slack": "https://codeigniterchat.slack.com"
},
"require": {
"php": "^8.1",
"codeigniter4/framework": "^4.0"
},
"require-dev": {
"fakerphp/faker": "^1.9",
"mikey179/vfsstream": "^1.6",
"phpunit/phpunit": "^10.5.16"
},
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/",
"Config\\": "app/Config/"
},
"exclude-from-classmap": [
"**/Database/Migrations/**"
]
},
"autoload-dev": {
"psr-4": {
"Tests\\Support\\": "tests/_support"
}
},
"config": {
"optimize-autoloader": true,
"preferred-install": "dist",
"sort-packages": true
},
"scripts": {
"test": "phpunit"
}
}
So a new CI4 installation using composer is very close if not identical to what I have but if i go to :
/srv/http/CI4-CMS/vendor/codeigniter4/framework
composer.json looks like :
Code:
{
"name": "codeigniter4/framework",
"description": "The CodeIgniter framework v4",
"license": "MIT",
"type": "project",
"homepage": "https://codeigniter.com",

"slack": "https://codeigniterchat.slack.com"
},
"require": {
"php": "^8.1",
"ext-intl": "*",
"ext-mbstring": "*",

"psr/log": "^3.0"
},

},

"ext-redis": "If you use Cache class RedisHandler",
"ext-simplexml": "If you format XML",
"ext-sodium": "If you use Encryption SodiumHandler",
"ext-sqlite3": "If you use SQLite3",
"ext-sqlsrv": "If you use SQL Server",
"ext-xdebug": "If you use CIUnitTestCase::assertHeaderEmitted()"
},
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"CodeIgniter\\": "system/"
},
"exclude-from-classmap": [
"**/Database/Migrations/**"
]
},
"config": {
"optimize-autoloader": true,
"preferred-install": "dist",
"sort-packages": true
},
"scripts": {
"test": "phpunit"
}
}
doesnt look right to me, where is my slightly amended composer.json file located to look at when things change ?
