I got composer error with nova licence issue

Question

On laravel 11 site I need manually edit content of nova-permission package and I edited my root composer.json :

"require": {
        ...
        "vyuldashev/nova-permission": "dev-master"
    },


    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "./components/nova-permission",
            "options": {

                "symlink": true
            }
        },
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://nova.laravel.com"
        }
    ],

and in /components/nova-permission/composer.json :

{
    "name": "vyuldashev/nova-permission",
    "version": "3.2.0",
    ...

But running composer update I got next:

But why error with cloning nova? My app has licence. Does the composer command try to upgrade the nova(which is not within my licence ) ?

On my nova site I can open some pages ok, but on some page I got error :

403 Hold Up! The government won't let us show you what's behind these doors…

Looks like these are Permisions page or related with it page...

How that can be fixed ?

EDITIVE INFO : Not sure if these errors with "403 Hold Up! " and "Your license is not allowed to download this release!" are related ? But as I had valid licence in /home/user/.config/composer/auth.json file and "laravel/nova": "^4.27.12" worked for me ok.

I check in console :

$ php artisan nova:check-license
Your license key is valid and correctly configured! Thank you for being a Nova customer.

I have these problemsonly after I tried to install and edit nova-permission package in components subdirectory...

EDITIVE INFO # 2 :

Checking at error message I see :

- Downloading laravel/nova (4.35.6)
...

But in my root composer.json I have :

"laravel/nova": "4.27.12",

I can not catch why composer tries to raise nova version ? Looks like it raised an error...

ADDITIVE INFO # 3 :

Have I run commands in the right directories ?

Answer 1

Make sure that you don't have something like

"laravel/nova": "^4.27.12"

If you do, change it to the specific

"laravel/nova": "4.27.12"
