Troubleshooting updates

You see Spryker Code Sniffer updates

If you see Code Sniffer updates from Spryker, check if the new code sniffer rules were added. Investigate what they are doing and decide if you need them. If you don’t need the rules, exclude them from the list.

To exclude or include sniff rules, in ruleset.xml, adjust the following section:

<rule ref="vendor/spryker/code-sniffer/Spryker/ruleset.xml">
	<exclude name="Spryker.Factory.NoPrivateMethods"/>
  ...
</rule>

Nothing to install or update or your requirements could not be resolved

You know there is a new version, but Composer returns the following message:

>...
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update....

Or you get an error similar to the following:

>Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- Conclusion: don't install silex/web-profiler v1.0.8
- Conclusion: remove symfony/stopwatch v4.1.7
- Installation request for silex/web-profiler ~1.0.8 -> satisfiable by silex/web-profiler[1.0.x-dev, v1.0.8].
- Conclusion: don't install symfony/stopwatch v4.1.7
....

Most likely, the update requires some other dependencies that currently can not be satisfied in the project. To check what is missing, use the composer why-not command. Example:

>php -d memory_limit=-1 composer.phar why-not "spryker/symfony:^3.2.0"

Composer returns what is needed for the update:

>spryker/symfony 3.2.0 requires symfony/stopwatch (^4.0.0)
myProject/platform dev-develop does not require symfony/stopwatch (but v2.8.34 is installed)

	Update the required packages, then try updating the original module again.

Inherited class is updated on the core level

One of the issues projects often face during an upgrade is when a Spryker class that was inherited on the project level gets updated on the core level. This can result in code syntax issues or logical issues, which you need to fix manually. To avoid such issues, follow the Spryker Extension best practices.
