I'm updating some packages with composer. I'm using Laravel5.6 in my project.

The one that I'm trying is PHPStan to version 0.10.7. My current version is 0.9.2.

The problem

When I try to update, it shows a success message, but when checking the outdate packages output, it is still OUTDATED.

What I've tried

Using composer why-not phpstan/phpstan 0.10.7 gave me the following output:

laravel/laravel  my-branch-test  requires (for development)  phpstan/phpstan (^0.9.2)                      

phpstan/phpstan  0.10.7          requires                    nikic/php-parser (^4.0.2)                     

laravel/laravel  my-branch-test  does not require            nikic/php-parser (but v3.1.5 is installed)    

phpstan/phpstan  0.10.7          requires                    phpstan/phpdoc-parser (^0.3)                  

laravel/laravel  my-branch-test  does not require            phpstan/phpdoc-parser (but 0.2 is installed)  

Then I tried to update nikic/php-parser and phpdoc-parser and re-run composer update phpstan/phpstan but it gave me the same result of before. (not updating)

UPDATE: running composer update phpstan/phpstan --with-dependencies gave me the following output:(but still didn't updated phpstan)

composer update phpstan/phpstan --with-dependencies

Do not run Composer as root/super user! See https://getcomposer.org/root for details

Code

In my composer.json file, the package is listed as:

"require-dev": {

    "phpstan/phpstan": "^0.9.2",

Any ideas?

The problem here was that others packages that I was using were using the nikic/php-parser package too, but considering only non-breaking changes (nikic/php-parser":"^3.0"), "blocking" the upgrade to > 4.0.

Because of composer can't install two versions of the same package, my solution was not updating phpstan for now.

I will wait for the libs that require nikic/php-parser to update their requirements to 4.0 and up or will change these packages in the future.
