[Fix] Issues with ramsey/uuid when installing?

[smoopins]

Hey folks, not a bug, but a compatibility issue downstream from this package.

This is likely a newbie issue more than anything, but if you're using Laravel 7 (in my case 7.13) it requires ramsey/uuid ^3|^4".

However, opencensus/opencensus (a dependency of this package) has its ramsey/uuid dependency set to "~3".

Thus, you need to manually downgrade ramsey/uuid directly in your project PRIOR to requiring gluedev/laravel-stackdriver or you too could wind up in the dependency-hell I just escaped from.

Do this by running composer require ramsey/uuid "^3". Then you can proceed on and run composer require gluedev/laravel-stackdriver.

Again, this dependency tracing may be second nature to others... but it just gobbled up about 90 minutes of my time. Thus, I hope this helps others.

Thanks for your suggestion!
This Package will not work with Laravel 8 because it requires ramsey/uuid:^4.0

Any workaround on this?

[DiederikvandenB]

This is an issue with the opencencus package. They seem to not be in a rush when it comes to releasing new versions:
census-instrumentation/opencensus-php#253
census-instrumentation/opencensus-php#268

Maybe there's some way to circumvent this through composer.json, or someone would have to fork the opencencus package.

[JulianMar]

yes the only way is to fork the project and setup composer.json to use your fork.
I used this guide and it worked for me

[DiederikvandenB]

So a new release was finally pushed, but unfortunately the PR for updating ramsey/uuid still goes unnoticed:
census-instrumentation/opencensus-php#261

[cerw]

For now, I forked and made it work with ramsey/uuid v4 , not ideal but it works for now.

        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "git@github.com:nanosolutions/laravel-stackdriver.git"
        },
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "git@github.com:nanosolutions/opencensus-php.git"
        },
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "git@github.com:nanosolutions/opencensus-php-exporter-stackdriver.git"
        }

Hey @cerw Can you share the steps on how to upgrade the composer and use this package in Laravel 8?Thanks

Hey @JulianMar

In this case, we have 3 packages:

• laravel-stackdriver
• opencensus
• opencensus-exporter-stackdriver

1. I bumped the version of ramsey/uuid inside opencensus and pushed to my own fork.
2. Added the "repositories" section to opencensus-exporter-stackdriver and changed the version of the opencensus package used as "dev-master"
3. Add the "repositories" section to laravel-stackdriver and changed the versions of the opencensus to "dev-master" and also the same thing with openensus/-exporter-stackdriver.

In my Laravel app, I made the gluedev/laravel-stackdriver with version "dev-master" together with a "repositories" section to my own forked version of the package.

When I try to run "composer update", I get this:

Problem 1
    - opencensus/opencensus-exporter-stackdriver dev-master requires opencensus/opencensus ~0.5 -> satisfiable by opencensus/opencensus[v0.5.0, v0.5.1, v0.5.2, v0.6.0].
    - You can only install one version of a package, so only one of these can be installed: opencensus/opencensus[dev-master, v0.5.0, v0.5.1, v0.5.2, v0.6.0].
    - gluedev/laravel-stackdriver dev-master requires opencensus/opencensus dev-master -> satisfiable by opencensus/opencensus[dev-master].
    - gluedev/laravel-stackdriver dev-master requires opencensus/opencensus-exporter-stackdriver dev-master -> satisfiable by opencensus/opencensus-exporter-stackdriver[dev-master].
    - Root composer.json requires gluedev/laravel-stackdriver dev-master -> satisfiable by gluedev/laravel-stackdriver[dev-master].

Thanks @cerw

Not only you need to add repositories section to opencensus-php-exporter-stackdriver and laravel-stackdriver, but also in the project using laravel-stackdriver?

Thanks

[bhaidar]

Thanks @cerw I managed to make it work.

I had to do the following:

• Fork & Bump ramsey/uuid on opencensus
• Fork & add repositories section on opencensus-php-exporter-stackdriver
• Fork & add repositories section on laravel-stackdriver (develop is the main branch not master)
• In my main app, I use "gluedev/laravel-stackdriver": "dev-develop", and added the three forked repositories all together in the app composer.json file.
