Adding composer to update core [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

Updating core from 8.4.4 to 8.6.1 (1 answer)

Closed 2 years ago.

I'm using a site created on Pantheon and now I'm not using pantheon.

So the core is not installed with composer. Now I want to upgrade core with composer but I don't understand how.

I've some modules installed with composer, so I try to add drupal/core :

compose require "drupal/core"

It's ok, but if I try to this, the aren't upgrades:

composer update drupal/core --with-dependencies

I've core 8.6.1 and I wanto to update to 8.6.2.

Thanks

Answer 1

It is probably due to how the drupal/core line in your composer.json file is defined. It probably has the version locked to 8.6.1. So the update is saying: You are already at the version you requested. There are no updates.

I would try doing the following:

composer require drupal/core:8.6.2 --update-with-dependencies

This will tell composer to use that version and ignore the version info in the composer.json file.
