Try with the 1.2.x-dev version of this plugin.

Is this error it is permanent bug of composer-asset-plugin?
I found mention about this bug for 1.0.1 version.

What is wrong? Is it realy so difficult to fix it one time and forever?

I go to the Converter/SemverConverter and push this

...
    public function convertVersion($version)
    {
$version = preg_replace('\.x($|\s|-)', '$1', $version);
...

for install plugin. I think anyone who work with plugin more than one hour can to fix it more smarter. It is realy dolefully to solve similar problems instead programming.

I just try to install the bower-asset/marionette asset, and it's ok for me with the 1.2.x-dev version of this plugin and 1.1.3 version of Composer:

{
    "require": {
        "yevgen-grytsay/yii2-marionettejs": "*"
    }
}

$ composer install --prefer-dist

francoispluchino, hi.
I have same issue when I trying to install bower-asset/fullcalendar:

#composer require bower-asset/fullcalendar
