[dillix]

When will be drupal-project updated to support Drupal 8.6?

We are working on it in #424

It will be related later today.

Hi. Just noticed this update has been released. But I don't know what I am supposed to do in order to benefit from it. I'm new to composer and the coupling drupal-composer. Would you please help me? I'm stuck at what is following.

composer prohibits drupal/core:8.6.1

drupal-composer/drupal-project - requires drupal/core (~8.5.3)
webflo/drupal-core-require-dev 8.5.7 requires drupal/core (8.5.7)

to update your drupal core, you can proceed like this :

1. update your composer.json file according to Update composer.json to require latest stable version of Drupal #424 (requirement of package drupal/core and dev requirement of package webflo/drupal-core-require-dev)

2. (optionnal) run the following command to see what will happen:

composer update drupal/core "symfony/*" webflo/drupal-core-require-dev --with-dependencies -v --dry-run

3. run the following command to actually download the new package versions (option "-v" is optionnal)

composer update drupal/core "symfony/*" webflo/drupal-core-require-dev --with-dependencies -v

Many thanks, @mikaelmeulle! It worked nicely. I still wonder, though, what will it happen when version 8.6.2, supposing I should modify again composer.json - is it correct? ;-)

It seems like the symfony/* package doesn't need to be included, when updating from 8.6.5 to 8.6.7 ... it actually gives an error. Should the recommended update command be updated to this?

composer update drupal/core webflo/drupal-core-require-dev --with-dependencies

I didn't have to edit composer.json or anything, and the update went very smoothly, running drush updb and drush cr to finish the update process.
