How to upgrade to Drupals latest version via Composer?

Question

Currently I have 8.6.13 installed.

composer update drupal/core --with-dependencies
Package "drupal/core" listed for update is not installed. Ignoring.
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update

When I tried to look in to composer.json we don't have drupal/core in

require.

Answer 1

I had exactly the same issue while performing upgrades. The solution for me was removing/renaming the vendor folder and the composer.lock file and run composer update drupal/core --with-dependencies.

You can also try to update dependency explicitly with composer update egulias/email-validator drupal/core --with-dependencies. This usually works in this type of issues, but it didn't work for me.

Given that you don't see drupal/core in your composer.json you might also try composer require drupal/core.

Answer 2

Before installing with Composer, make sure to remove the vendor directory and the composer.lock file and run composer install.
