Hi Robert!

Nice to hear from you.

Well few things. First if you install in composer mode, you may not install extensions manually or copy them anywhere.
Second tt_news is probably not marked compatible with CMS 8. Personally we use only news (from Georg) for years now.

Hi, Markus!

Thanks for the response! I didn't realise that manual installation is prohibited, too. Makes sense, though.
(tt_news is indeed not yet compatible with v8. That's why I used it - to test the installer tool...)

So the "Check for broken extensions" function in the installer also distinguishes between "old" setup and composer setup? By using the autoloader class?
It is a bit confusing, because the explanation says:
"Checks whether the local extensions' ext_tables and ext_localconf files can be included without errors, meaning they can be loaded without breaking the system."

Digged quite a bit through the sysext/install ext, but could not find a hint, whether there is a check routine for composer and one without...
Shouldn't the check work anyway? Or could you point me to the place, where the distinction (composer yes/no) is made? Thanks!

Well, the extension list to test stems from the Package Manager, which of course depends on the installation mode.
Furthermore the autoloader works a bit different in composer mode.

For testing the install tool in a composer mode installation with tt_news it must be:

• installable via composer
• marked compatible with cms 8

I don't know if both is fulfilled.

Otherwise please use a normal installation and put tt_news there and test again.

The main logic around composer mode sits somewhere in the Bootstrap logic of ext:core.
