Yii2 Composer 和 Bower 问题

Question

I am facing a problem during Yii2 installation.

I have repository on Bitbucket. Its obvious that after git clone/fetch/pull i need to install dependencies. Everything that i am trying to do is always inside newly created php 7.2.0 Docker image machine (Bitbucket Pipelines). So here is the list of commands that i have:

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
php composer.phar create-project

My composer.json file is equals to one from official repository .

The problem is that web/assets directory is lacking of files. It has autogenerated directories and only yii, yii activeForm, captcha, gridView and validation JS files.

As i know composer-asset-plugin not used any more. At least no mention in installation guide. But even if i add php composer.phar global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:^1.4.2" it won't fix the issue. It looks like bower assets can't be compiled or something like that. Maybe i am wrong. I have no idea why its not working. No results during search too.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

For people who facing this issue. I've checked everything once more, it should work but it doesn't. All essential directories have correct rights. Everything is working perfectly except this bower issue. I doublecheck on local PC. Can't reproduce.

However after about 10 takes to fix, it starts working correctly. Maybe it is yii\\web\\AssetManager issue or something, i still don't know, time will show.

You just need to add this code to you cofig file and it will fix this issue.

'aliases' => [
    '@bower' => '@vendor/bower-asset',
    '@npm'   => '@vendor/npm-asset'
]

It was also added to application templates

Answer 2

Issue come when we are using composer 2. Otherwise we can use fxp/composer-asset-plugin. MihaOo answered for basic app. For people who are using advanced app can use following configuration.

Update common/config/main.php with following config.

'aliases' => [
    '@bower' => '@vendor/bower-asset',
    '@npm'   => '@vendor/npm-asset',
],

Original config file from yii2 advanced app - configuration file
