Description

I add this snippet to the PackageStates.php:

'doctrine_dbal' =>
    array (
      'manifestPath' => '',
      'composerName' => 'typo3/doctrine_dbal',
      'state' => 'inactive',
      'packagePath' => 'typo3conf/ext/doctrine_dbal/',
      'classesPath' => 'Classes/',
    ),

and this is how my composer.json looks like:

{
    "name": "typo3/doctrine_dbal",
    "type": "typo3-cms-framework",
    "description": "TYPO3 Core",
    "homepage": "http://typo3.org",
    "license": ["GPL-2.0+"],
    "version": "6.2.0",
    "require": {
        "typo3/cms/core": "*",
        "doctrine/dbal": "2.4.*" 
    },
    "replace": {
        "dbal": "*" 
    }
}

"doctrine/dbal": "2.4.*" is a composer dependency which will downloaded into the vendor folder of the extension.

I have a fresh installation with an empty database. When I start TYPO3 I will get the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'UnexpectedValueException' with message 'The package "doctrine_dbal" depends on "doctrine/dbal" which is not present in the system.' in /Volumes/HDD/Users/sok/Development/TYPO3/CMS/core/master/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Package/PackageManager.php on line 608

I am very interested in this topic. Is 6.2 supposed to allow the installation of external/packagist composer packages?
I am the creator of cundd_composer. The extensions aim is to provide the possibility to use non-TYPO3 composer packages.
Unfortunately the current TYPO3 6.2 version not only seems to not fully support composer - it even makes installations using cundd_composer crash. My extension relies on the composer.json in the extensions root, which is now read by the package manager. If it detects an external dependency an exception is thrown. In 6.1 and below you could simply navigate to the composer backend module and install the dependencies - now there is no way to install the extension which relies on the external composer package.

Hey Daniel,

I can provide some informations which I found out and made my extension with external dependencies working.

TYPO3 doesn't support Composer at the moment - that means external dependencies won't be resolved. To make a composer project with ext deps working you need to create a new folder called Packages at the same level like typo3conf and fileadmin and copy the vendor folder into this folder. Rename "vendor" to "Libraries", delete the PackageStates.php and restart the installation.

Hy Stefano!

Thank you for that information!
This could help, but I'm not sure if I really want to try to write into the root :-S
I think I will change my extension to look for cundd_composer.json instead for composer.json files inside the extensions.

I am disappointed how the next TYPO3 version will handle this. I don't really understand why the composer support is implemented incompletely. Isn't the great thing about composer it's ability to install all kinds of libraries from different sources and soften the borders between PHP projects?

Hy

If someone is interested: I updated my composer extension to work with 6.2 (currently only on Github, not in TER).
As a notice I wrote the following:

Upgrade to TYPO3 6.2

TYPO3 6.2 will parse the extensions composer.json files and retrieve different information from it. TYPO3's new Package Manager also allows the definition of dependencies. Unfortunately these dependencies are limited to real TYPO3 extension. If you want to install an extension, which requires a non-TYPO3 package in composer.json, the Package Manager tries to resolve this dependency in vain and the installation fails.

To work around this issue cundd_composer will look for the file cundd_composer.json instead of composer.json. For legacy reasons cundd_composer will still use composer.json TYPO3 versions below 6.2.

The new EM will import only composer packages :)

Actions #13

Updated by Patrik Karisch about 9 years ago

Will there be a fix for 6.2? This is an annoying bug, which prevents us from installing extensions with composer.json files, which also requires non Typo3-package.

For example:

One extension has this composer.json file:

{
    "name": "acme/foobar",
    "type": "typo3-cms-extension",
    "require": {
        "doctrine/cache": "~1.4",

        "composer/installers": "~1.0" 
    }
}

The composer/installers enables me to require the extension in my project roots composer.json and it gets installed into typo3conf/ext/foobar correctly. But I can't enable it, because the EM is complaining about doctrine/cache. But the extension needs this require, so the project roots composer.json gets not clutterd with. So this would be enough in the project root:

{
    "name": "acme/project",
    "require": {
        "acme/foobar": "~1.0" 
    }
}

This is a serious blocker to require extensions in the project via composer.

Fully agree with Patrik.

Why are the TYPO3 6.2 Release Notes claiming something like "Introducing the concept of Package Management brings interoperability with the whole world of Composer based PHP libraries." and "It is now possible to natively load Composer based libraries." if is just not true and hardly restricted?

Actions #15

Updated by Daniel Corn about 9 years ago

Unfortunately Tilo is right. In my opinion TYPO3 has no composer support. Or even worse: it would be better to have no composer integration than the current one.
Does anybody know how things are with version 7?

Anyway I love many parts of TYPO3!

Actions #16

Updated by Patrik Karisch about 9 years ago

If typo3 doesn't support composer it would be no problem, because we use it out of scope of the EM and only activate the composer installed extensions in the EM. The problem is how the EM wanna handle the composer.json of the extensions as addition to the depends contraint in the ext_emconf.php. There it got stuck if your extension relies on non typo3 stuff... :(

this is solved for master, but will not be fixed in 6.2.

It works nicely, when using Packages/Libraries as vendor dir and when activating the found composer packages manually in PackageStates.php file.

This can even be automated using typo3_console :


    "scripts": {
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "Helhum\\Typo3Console\\Composer\\InstallerScripts::postUpdateAndInstall",
            "[ -f typo3conf/PackageStates.php ] || ./typo3cms install:generatepackagestates" 
        ],
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "Helhum\\Typo3Console\\Composer\\InstallerScripts::postUpdateAndInstall",
            "[ -f typo3conf/PackageStates.php ] || ./typo3cms install:generatepackagestates" 
        ]
    },

prerequisite is a active-packages list in root composer.json:


    "extra": {
        "active-packages": [
            "belog",
            "beuser",
            "context_help",

Officially, not officially, doesn't matter honestly. Its included in 6.2, so it should be supported and fixed. Especially if a contributor has taken time for it and already made a fix. Why you would reject it?

Can you confirm, this is working with the latest TYPO3 6.2.27 too?
I can't get it to work. The patch applies fine, but then the extensions manager goes crazy:

The package "crawler" depends on "typo3/cms" which is not present in the system.

So the patch makes it even worse. Without the patch, the EM just complains about my external libs (like monolog, guzzle, ...).

Just for the records: It is not, that we didn't want this to be fixed in 6.2, it was just that we did not want to risk breaking existing installations.
So we agreed to keep it like that for 6.2.
