Support composer installation

[Chi-teck]

It would be useful to have this package as Composer dependency.

Currently when the cachetool installed this way it fails with the following message.

In VersionParser.php line 186:
                                              
  [UnexpectedValueException]                  
  Invalid version string "@package_version@"  

[mbrodala]

We require this package all the time as Composer dependency just fine. Running vendor/bin/cachetool also works fine. What exactly have you tried?

[Chi-teck]

$ ./vendor/bin/cachetool 

In VersionParser.php line 186:
                                              
  Invalid version string "@package_version@"  

[mbrodala]

Please retry with ./vendor/bin/cachetool --verbose to get a full error trace. Again, this does not occur here when running the same command. (Version 9.1.0 here ATM.)

[Chi-teck]

$ ./vendor/bin/cachetool --verbose

In VersionParser.php line 186:
                                              
  [UnexpectedValueException]                  
  Invalid version string "@package_version@"

Cannot install cachetool 9.1.0 yet as it has locked dependency on consolidation/self-update

https://github.com/gordalina/cachetool/blob/main/composer.json#L24C10-L24C35

[mbrodala]

@Chi-teck But you should, exactly because of that: #231

Seems like this would fix your issue.

[Chi-teck]

Again, this does not occur here when running the same command.

It likely depends on Composer or symfony/console version.

[Chi-teck]

exactly because of that:

Ok, that might be the reason. BTW what version is displayed for you when you run

$ ./vendor/bin/cachetool --version

[mbrodala]

As I already wrote: 9.1.0, the currently latest version.

[Chi-teck]

Downgrading consolidation/self-update resolved the issue for me.

As I already wrote: 9.1.0, the currently latest version.

How did it pick the version? For me it shows the following.

$ ./vendor/bin/cachetool --version
CacheTool @package_version@

[Chi-teck]

BTW Compose 2 is capable to provide a version for any installed package.
So instead of @package_version@ we could use something like this

InstalledVersions::getPrettyVersion('gordalina/cachetool');

[mbrodala]

Now I get what you mean, I can confirm this:

$ vendor/bin/cachetool --version
CacheTool @package_version@

But since I always use composer show instead, it's not a big deal. ;-)

[Chi-teck]

Yes, it's not a big deal.

The big deal is the lock to consolidation/self-update:2.1 which may cause dependency conflicts with other packages. Also some day, this version of consolidation/self-update will become unsupported.
