Composer update created error: require(vendor/magento/composer-root-update-plugin/registration.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Question

I have updated Composer to 2.4.4 as a prerequisite to updating Magento to 2.4.5, however now I'm getting errors in SSH when trying to run any other command and HTTP on a page execution:

SSH:

In AutoloadGenerator.php line 1351:
                                                                                                                                                                         
  require(/home/---/web/---/public_html/vendor/magento/composer-root-update-plugin/registration.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

HTTP:

Warning: require(/home/---/web/---/public_html/vendor/composer/../magento/composer-root-update-plugin/registration.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xadmin/web/xdev.devsetup.co.uk/public_html/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php on line 59

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/home/---/web/---/public_html/vendor/composer/../magento/composer-root-update-plugin/registration.php' (include_path='/home/xadmin/web/xdev.devsetup.co.uk/public_html/vendor/magento/zendframework1/library:.:/usr/share/php') in /home/---/web/---/public_html/vendor/composer/autoload_real.php on line 59

Composer won't rollback - tried that and received the same errors. Confirmed the file doesn't exist, but the directory does.

I'm assuming /public_html/vendor/composer/../magento/composer-root-update-plugin/ in the HTTP error is the same as /public_html/vendor/magento/composer-root-update-plugin/ in SSH, but posted in case it helps you help me.

Does anyone know how I can get past this?

Thanks

Answer 1

You don't need to upgrade to Magento 2.4.4 before upgrading to Magento 2.4.5. You can upgrade to Magento 2.4.5 directly.

Solution 1: Try the following steps to upgrade your Magento site to 2.4.5-p1:

1. Switch back to your old PHP version, ie. PHP 7.4 or 7.3
2. Run the following commands:

composer require magento/composer-root-update-plugin ~2.0 --no-update
composer update
rm -rf var/cache/* var/page_cache/* generated/*
bin/magento setup:upgrade
composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.5-p1 --no-update
composer update

3. Change to PHP version 8.1
4. Run the following commands:

rm -rf var/cache/* var/page_cache/* generated/*
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

Solution 2: (This solution resolved the issue for @myshadowself)

Take the following steps:

1. Remove vendor directory and clear composer cache:

rm -rf vendor
composer clear-cache

2. Update require-dev section in your composer.json file same as the Magento codebase: https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.4.5-p1/composer.json#L108

3. Remove manually magento/composer-root-update-plugin from require in composer.json

4. Run thee following commands:

composer remove magento/product-community-edition --no-update
composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.5-p1 --no-update
composer update
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

You're done.

Troubleshooting:

If you had the below error when running bin/magento setup:upgrade

"Class "Vertex\Tax\Setup\Schema\Triggers\MigrateVertexInvoiceSent" not found#0 /var/www/html/vendor/magento/framework/ObjectManager/Factory/Compiled.php(108): Magento\Framework\ObjectManager\Factory\AbstractFactory->createObject()"

Remove generated folder then run bin/magento setup:upgrade again:

rm -rf generated
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

Answer 2

You can try this:

rm -rf vendor
composer install
composer update
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

or you can remove composer.lock and then ran above command.

Hopefully this may help you.

Answer 3

After running composer update in solution 1 I get this:

• php-amqplib/php-amqplib v3.2.0 conflicts with php 7.4.0 - 7.4.1.

Our dev server has both php7.4 and php8.1 on it. I have to specify php7.4 for any php bin/magento commands but what about the composer command? Andy
