Update Symfony bundle with composer ignoring the minimum-stability setting

Question

I installed the payum/payum-bundle with composer (using the PHP Storm Plugin). I couldn't install a version newer to 2.0.1 because the newer version seems not to be marked as stable (minimum-stability in composer.lock is "stable"). I too installed the payum/paypal-express-checkout-nvp bundle to add paypay express support. I set everything up, created a controller to test it and ended up getting the error

Attempted to load trait "GatewayAwareTrait" from namespace "Payum\Core".
Did you forget a "use" statement for another namespace?

According to this (closed) issue the problem seems to be that payum/core is at version 1.2.8 but should be at least 1.3

https://github.com/Payum/PayumBundle/issues/367

Obviously the payum/bundle installation in version 2.0.1 installed the core-part with 1.2.8. Now... How can I force composer to update the payum/core to at least 1.3?

What I need to do is either tell composer to ignore the minimum-stability for this single bundle or to set the minimum-stability to something less then stable (which I assume not being the best idea especialy when not permanently following all dev branches of all used packages) and a hint on how then to update the payum/core part.

Any hints are very wellcome - I am stuck here...

Answer 1

Your assumption is wrong, the version 2.1.0 of payum/payum-bundle is marked as stable.

In order to find out why you don't install it, we need your content of composer.json.

Did you run composer update in order to try to update to the latest packages of everything?

Answer 2

Since 1.3.0 Payum require a virtual package http client. You must add one of its implementations as a package, after that composer will allow you to upgrade payum.

The doc suggest you to install php-http/guzzle6-adapter but you can choose any other implementations of the client.

Do

php composer.phar update payum/core php-http/guzzle6-adapter
