Magento 2 : composer update giving this error

Question

I am using magento version 2.3.1

When I have updated composer via command

php composer update

I get this error

Package container-interop/container-interop is abandoned, you should avoid using it. Use psr/container instead.

Package phpunit/phpunit-mock-objects is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.

please anyone guide me how to solve this error

currently not working any command, giving same error when run command

thanks in advance

• Charvi Parikh: Did you get any solution for this ?
• Pradip Garchar: not yet, can you please guide here
• Charvi Parikh: you can ignore this error and the composer update run successfully
• Charvi Parikh: It comes up a lot during Composer installations. The module still installed, the message is just a false-positive. If it failed, the message would clearly state that.
• Chris: The only places your issue 'container-interop' is mentioned is in the two files located in the places I've referenced above. These two location paths have the words 'testing' or 'dev/tests', which suggests its not part of the live site, but maybe legacy testing code. I dont know the answer to this problem though as I'm also having it with about 20 other deprecated packages.

Answer 1

It's not an error, it's a warning. Informing you that the package container-interop/container-interop is abandoned not receiving new updates. It is up to you whether you want to continue using container-interop/container-interop or decide to use the package psr/container which still receives updates.

When making a decision take account with security and functionality. I wouldn't recommend changing here unless the old packages receives errors due to other packages being updatet.

Answer 2

Try this, that should do the trick

composer remove container-interop/container-interop
composer require psr/container

• Pradip Garchar: Thanks for answer, I will try and let you know :)
• Chris: I tried this but got the following "container-interop/container-interop is not required in your composer.json and has not been removed"
• Ahmed Chouihi: Do this solution works?
• Herve Tribouilloy: Clearly it must not work but I can look into it more if you need?
