Having trouble installing barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper via composer - class not found error in Laravel 4 project

I have the following composer.json file for my Laravel 4.2.x project:

{
    "name": "laravel/laravel",
    "description": "The Laravel Framework.",
    "keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
    "license": "MIT",
    "type": "project",
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
        "cartalyst/sentry": "2.1.*",
        "way/generators": "2.*",
        "laracasts/flash": "~1.0",
        "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~4.0",
        "itsgoingd/clockwork": "1.*",
        "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "~1.11@dev",
        "intervention/image": "dev-master"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "app/commands",
            "app/controllers",
            "app/models",
            "app/database/migrations",
            "app/database/seeds",
            "app/tests/TestCase.php"
        ],
        "files": [
            "app/Latheesan/helpers.php"
        ],
        "psr-0": {
            "Latheesan": "app/"
        }
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-install-cmd": [
            "php artisan clear-compiled",
            "php artisan ide-helper:generate",
            "php artisan optimize"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "php artisan clear-compiled",
            "php artisan ide-helper:generate",
            "php artisan optimize"
        ],
        "post-create-project-cmd": [
            "php artisan key:generate"
        ]
    },
    "config": {
        "preferred-install": "dist"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

This has been working fine until today. When I ran the composer update command, I got the following error:

{"error":{"type":"Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException","message":"Class 'Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider' not found","file":"C:\wamp\www\projectfolder\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\ProviderRepository.php","line":157}}Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-update-cmd event returned with an error

It looks like the package that caused the problem is barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper version ~1.11@dev

On the project's home page on github, it says:

For Laravel 4.x, check version 1.8

But that appears to be a dead link.

So, what is the correct require line to use on the composer.json file, for this package that supports laravel 4.x?

In my case,

my composer version was outdated and thats the problem. I updated my composer to latest version 1.7 and the problem is gone.

Ok, i have got solution: (For Laravel 5, but think can work also in Laravel 4)

  1. remove line about "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper" from require array on composer.json file.
  2. run the next line: composer require barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper

And you will got your laravel project updated with the last version of barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper extension

(More info: https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper)

I have tried with these lines:

  • "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "1.*"
  • "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "1.*@dev"
  • "barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "1.11.*@dev"

For laravel 5 and i got the next error on composer update:

barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper v1.2.1 requires phpdocumentor/reflection-docblock dev-master#6d705c1a0f9e2a6d73d2e9ec0e538b9dfaf4315f -> no matching package found.

I have found it, this is the line I needed on my composer.json

"barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper": "1.11.*@dev"

It was mentioned on the packagist.org site: https://packagist.org/packages/barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
