Content-Length mismatch, received 376567 bytes out of the expected 1478361

Question

I have recently created fresh Laravel project using composer. The Laravel version is 7.15.

Now when I am trying to install composer laravel/ui package, following error occures

Content-Length mismatch, received 376567 bytes out of the expected 1478361
https://repo.packagist.org could not be fully loaded, package information was loaded from the local cache and may be out of date

I tried to run composer update command but same error is occuring.

This error didn't occur when I installed laravel. I haven't updated the composer.

After googling, I found this answer on Stackoverflow, https://stackoverflow.com/a/38635258 but unfortunately it's not working for me.

I even tried reinstalling the composer but error remains the same (Reinstalling the composer had worked for me in the past)

I am sharing my config.json as well as composer.json.

Kindly help me out, without composer I can't proceed with my Laravel project.

what happens if you run `composer clear-cache` first and update command after that? — Ersoy, Jun 22 '20 at 09:20
I did what you said and got following error `[Composer\Downloader\TransportException] Content-Length mismatch, received 81657 bytes out of the expected 999055 ` — Fahad Shaikh, Jun 22 '20 at 09:37
I have updated the question with `composer diagnose` output @HarishST — Fahad Shaikh, Jun 22 '20 at 10:53
Actually, I am also getting the same response. I am trying to find the issue. — Harish ST, Jun 22 '20 at 11:00
for this issue, you need to edit config.json file: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38635257/composer-content-length-mismatch — Mohammad Mostafavi, Oct 09 '20 at 09:27

I had the same problem and I solved it by running these 2 commands

$ composer config -g repo.packagist composer https://packagist.org
$ composer config -g github-protocols https ssh
