install Google's ClientAPI in Laravel 5.x with Composer

Question

I've been trying to install Google's ClientAPI, but it's got tons of dependency issues. I've searched the web, with no luck whatsoever.

I tried to install the faulty dependencies myself, but they had the same issue. Here's the message I'm getting:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - google/apiclient v2.0.0-RC3 requires guzzlehttp/guzzle 5.2.* -> satisfiable by guzzlehttp/guzzle[5.2.0] but these conflict with your requirements or minimum-stability.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

At this point all I can think of is to install ClientAPI outside of composer, but I don't know if it's a good idea or not!

And here's my composer.json file (only the relevant parts):

"minimum-stability": "dev",
"require": {
    "php": ">=5.5.9",
    "laravel/framework": "5.2.*",
    "tymon/jwt-auth": "0.5.*",
    "barryvdh/laravel-cors": "^0.8.0",
    "laravel/socialite": "^2.0",
    "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "^6.1",
    "intervention/image": "^2.3",
    "kozz/laravel-guzzle-provider": "^6.0",
    "symfony/psr-http-message-bridge": "^0.2.0",
    "fairholm/elasticquent": "dev-feature/laravel-5",
    "graham-campbell/flysystem": "^3.3",
    "league/flysystem-sftp": "^1.0",
    "netshell/paypal": "dev-master",
    "facebook/php-sdk-v4": "~5.0"
},

Based on the error message it looks like you should try (at least for now) downgrading your guzzle version to 5.2.0 instead of 6.1 — tam5, Sep 26 '16 at 11:15
Didn't work: `kozz/laravel-guzzle-provider 6.0 requires guzzlehttp/guzzle ~6.0 -> satisfiable by guzzlehttp/guzzle[6.2.x-dev].` — Milad.Nozari, Sep 26 '16 at 11:22

The problem is there is conflict between your old package requirements and you new package requirements.

This is worst part of composer or disadvantage of composer.

you have to manually install a package version which is satisfiable with both package. And trust me it is very hard to do.

I found a solution on GitHub google API PHP client issues and discussion. That actually solve my problem as well. referring to the original post so that it might also save someone's day.

https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client/issues/969

The idea is to simply add "google/apiclient": "^2.0" directly to composer.json and running composer update.

Installation request for phpseclib/phpseclib (locked at 0.3.10)

Installation request for guzzlehttp/psr7 (locked at 1.4.x-dev)

It seems that some packages are "locked at" specific versions (as per your composer.lock).

To see why they're locked, run:

composer why org/package -t

You may try to update these dependencies by:

composer update --with-dependencies

However, if that won't help, consider removing composer.lock and re-run composer install.

Try also your configuration on the empty folder.

To see the installed dependency tree, run:

composer show -t

To see the requirements for the given package, run for example:

composer show -a google/apiclient 2.0.3

This can give some idea what is wrong. To see more verbose output, add -v to your command.
