ZF2 + Doctrine + Composer + Upgrading Doctrine

Question

I'm thick in the middle of a Zend Framework 2 project using Doctrine.

My understanding of composer functionality at present is pretty limited, I know I need to read up and want to properly understand what is happing, but I just don't have the time to do this right now, so really could do with some help with the following. As I say, I know I should read the manual, and I usually do, but I'm just really struggling for time at present.

I have installed Doctrine in my ZF2 application by adding the following in the 'require' section of my composer.json file located in the project route:

"doctrine/doctrine-orm-module": "0.*"

A few days back I had to run composer update on my project to install the latest version of ZF2 in order to obtain a bug fix.

Looking at doctrine-orm-module/src/DoctrineORMModule/version.php I believe I have 0.4.0 installed.

I've now hit a bug in Doctrine\DBAL v2.3.4 (specifically this bug http://www.doctrine-project.org/jira/browse/DBAL-522) and I believe I need to upgrade to DBAL 2.3.5 to get the fix.

This is my problem. I can't get to v2.3.5 of DBAL using composer.

I tried editing doctrine-orm-module/composer.json and updating

"doctrine/dbal": ">=2.3.4",

to

"doctrine/dbal": ">=2.3.5",

and then from within the doctrine-orm-module directory I ran composer update, but just get the following output:

Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update
Generating autoload files

Any help in upgrade my DBAL version would be very much appreciate.

Many thanks, familymangreg.

This worked for me to upgrade doctrine to 2.4 - I am assuming that if you find the right 2.3.5 version names the following should work for you.

I updated the composer.json file in the root of my application folder as follows;

    {
"name": "zendframework/skeleton-application",
"description": "Skeleton Application for ZF2",
"license": "BSD-3-Clause",
"keywords": [
    "framework",
    "zf2"
],
"homepage": "http://framework.zend.com/",
"require": {
    "php": ">=5.3.3",
    "zendframework/zendframework": "2.*",
    "zendframework/zend-developer-tools": "dev-master",
    "doctrine/orm": "2.4.0-beta2",
    "doctrine/dbal": "2.4.0-beta2",
    "doctrine/common": "2.4.0-rc2",
    "doctrine/doctrine-orm-module": "0.7.*",

}

}

then run php composer.phar update

Hope this helps
