Resolved Composer Kimai error

[p0se]

I am trying to install the Kimai time tracking tool on my Plesk server.

I use the documentation at Shared hosting – Kimai
When I use Composer I get the following error.

Failed to retrieve data for the package 'composer-runtime-api': In ComposerRepository.php line 347: [LogicException] Composer repositories that have lazy providers and no available-packages list can not load the complete list of packages, use getPackageNames instead.

Can anyone help?

Looks like I'm one step ahead.

I now get the following error message.

Failed to retrieve data for the package 'composer-runtime-api': Deprecation Notice: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in phar:///opt/psa/var/modules/composer/composer.phar/src/Composer/Autoload/AutoloadGenerator.php:879

plesk/composer-command-info (installed globally) contains a Composer plugin which is blocked by your allow-plugins config. You may add it to the list if you consider it safe. See https://getcomposer.org/allow-plugins

You can run "composer global config --no-plugins allow-plugins.plesk/composer-command-info [true|false]" to enable it (true) or keep it disabled and suppress this warning (false)

I have tried the workaround. That did not help.

Could you already solve the issue? I get the same error but could not find a solution yet.

I spend some more time solving it and could solve it by deinstalling extension "PHP Composer" from Plesk and install composer on my Linux.

As a root user I did the following:

I globally set the PHP environment variable:
export PATH="/opt/plesk/php/8.1/bin:$PATH"

I installed composer on my Linux:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Moved it here:
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Allowed all users to run composer (I think this is optional)
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer

Then in the vhost directory I could follow the instructions for Plesk:

Shared hosting – Kimai

How to install Kimai in a shared hosting environment

www.kimai.org

And now i kan use Kimai on my Plesk.

Hope this helps someone.

I was able to solve the problem in the same way.
Because I wanted to use the Plesk version of Composer, I decided against it.
