Message:

I am trying to use one of my packages from vendor-legacy folder.

Here is the structure of this folder:

vendor-legacy

└── directus

    ├── oauth2-okta

    ├── proxy-detection

    ├── rate-limit

    └── zend-db

In my composer.json file I declared it as:

"repositories": [

    {

      "type": "path",

      "url": "vendor-legacy/directus/oauth2-okta"

    },

    {

      "type": "path",

      "url": "vendor-legacy/directus/proxy-detection",

      "options": {

        "versions": {

          "directus/proxy-detection": "0.5.1"

        }

      }

    },

    {

      "type": "path",

      "url": "vendor-legacy/directus/rate-limit"

    }

  ],

  "require": {

    "directus/oauth2-okta": "dev-master",

    "directus/proxy-detection": "*",

    "directus/rate-limit": "dev-master",

  },

Here is what I am getting after composer update --ignore-platform-reqs

Packages oauth2-okta and rate-limit are installed properly and symlinked to my vendor folder. Only this proxy-detection seems to have a problem which I don't understand. If anyone faced that problem I would be glad for help.

My Answer:
It looks like Composer is still trying to download the `directus/proxy-detection` package from the remote VCS repository instead of using the local repository that you have specified in your `composer.json` file.

One thing you can try is to remove the `vendor` folder and then run `composer install` again. This will force Composer to re-install all the dependencies, including the local repository packages.

If that doesn't work, you can try explicitly specifying the path to the local repository in the `composer.json` file. For example:

json
"repositories": [
{
"type": "path",
"url": "vendor-legacy/directus/proxy-detection"
}
],
"require": {
"directus/proxy-detection": "*"
}


Make sure to run `composer update` or `composer install` after making these changes.

If the issue persists, you may want to check if there are any typos in the path or if the local repository is set up correctly.

Additionally, you can try clearing Composer's cache by running `composer clear-cache` and then running `composer update` again.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to further investigate the issue or consider reaching out to Composer support for assistance.
