Install issues: symfony/console package version

[colorful-tones]

I just tried to install WP Snapshots.

I ran:

composer global config repositories.wpsnapshots vcs https://github.com/10up/wpsnapshots

and then:

composer global require 10up/wpsnapshots:dev-master -n

Which gave me an error: Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

I'm attaching full screenshot of output.

Does this mean I have to downgrade my symfony/console package? I run composer show global and see: symfony/console v4.1.3 Symfony Console Component

The composer dependency manifest for this project is looking for ^3.3 of the symfony/console package. The ^ version constraint resolves >=3.3 but <4.0.0.

Perhaps the version required by wpsnapshots will satisfy the requirements of whatever other package is requiring symfony/console. You can run composer global why symfony/console to see what package installed it at v4.1.3.

In addition, we should confirm compatibility with v4.x of symfony/console and potentially update the composer manifest.

I ran composer global why symfony/console and PHPCS Fixer is the culprit, which I would think is a common package?

friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer  v2.12.2  requires  symfony/console (^3.2 || ^4.0)

Oh, but not looking closer at the output: (^3.2 || ^4.0). I looks like PHPCS Fixer is saying is supports me downgrading to 3.*

I'll dig in and see if I can reinstall or downgrade. If you happen to be more adept at composer then feel free to post commands for doing so.

Thanks!

Ha, I just did:

1. composer global remove symfony/console
2. composer global require symfony/console:3.3
3. composer global require 10up/wpsnapshots:dev-master -n

And it worked fine, but then went in to a call. I'll now go back to symfony/console 4.* and pull in latest Snapshots and test. Thanks!

Everything work fine now with #36 merged. Thanks @christianc1
