[BC break] Keep Guzzle v6 in v2

[karser]

This plugin is bundled with aws-sdk-php which requires guzzlehttp/guzzle:^5.3.3|^6.2.1|^7.0. In version 2.2.1 there was guzzlehttp/guzzle:6.5.5. But in 2.3.0 it's now guzzlehttp/guzzle:7.2.0.

I have other plugins that require guzzle v6 and they crashed after the update to v2.3.0. Since in PHP it's not possible to have 2 classes loaded of a different version, because if the class is already loaded it will not load it twice.

Please downgrade the guzzle version, at least in v2.

Are your other plugin installed via composer too? Or do they bundle Guzzle v6?

[karser]

The same way as S3-Uploads: it bundles Guzzle v6 installed with composer

[karser]

Maybe it should be a separate build with guzzle-v6? Like manual-install-guzzle-v6.zip?

[roborourke]

If they’re installed via composer it should be able figure out a compatible set of packages. What happens if you add guzzle v6 as a requirement in your main composer file?

[karser]

I don't have composer.json on the project level. The plugin zip files are downloaded and extracted, and that's it. So every plugin has its own vendor folder and autoloading. Do you have global composer.json? How does it work for wordpress?

Ah I see. Yeah that makes things difficult. You have a couple of options but I'd recommend reading through this primer https://composer.rarst.net/

At the simplest level you can use a composer.json and add https://wpackagist.org/ as a repository, then you can install WP plugins / themes. Composer will automatically place packages of the type wordpress-plugin in the plugins directory for example.
