DNS resolver issue Composer 2

Composer version: 2.0.4

OS: macOS 10.15.7

When I run composer diagnose I get DNS resolver issue as seen in the attached image

I am able to ping getcomposer.org, packagist.org, github.com - all sites from the terminal.

curl -i packagist.org -L also works as expected without any error

Yet with composer diagnose I am getting DNS resolver issue

This started happening after I upgraded PHP from 7.4.1 to 7.4.12 and updating to composer 2

What could be the issue and how can I fix it

I just uninstalled composer 2.0.4 and installed composer 1.10.17 with rest of the packages/apps as it is and it runs without any DNS resolver error

So does it mean that composer 2.0.4 has some issues? or is incompatible with my setup of other apps/packages?

I want to use composer 2.x, so what do I do to make it work?

In the end, it's not a "composer" problem, but of the underlying connectivity technology. Composer 2 uses curl by default, whereas Composer 1 used PHP streams... and apparently they are not equally sensitive or forgiving to different network configurations and misconfigurations.

Some things to check and re-check:

  • Your DNS settings. Check that there are no wrongly configured entries. Just for the sake of it change if you can your DNS provider to a "known good" one. E.g. Cloudflare's (1.1.1.1), or Google's (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4), and remove all other entries.

  • IPV6 connectivity. You many need to disable it if you have it enabled, since some users reported issues with it.

  • Disable any VPNs you may be using to connect to the Internet, since they may interfere with your connectivity.

On this issue some users have commented on similar problems.

if you have any VPN running try to disable and check again in my case that was the issue .

On my work laptop (Mac) I had to have my employer DNS server as first DNS server, which failed to response when I wasnt in the network (or connected via VPN). I had to manually change it to use another DNS server first instead. VPN still works by this change. (For now?)

network settings

I was solved this problem assigning a network

# docker network create --subnet=172.19.0.0/24 net-composer
# docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app  --interactive --tty --network net-composer   composer install

Try this ipconfig /flushdns in cmd. It works on me.

For Ubuntu the configuration file /etc/resolv.conf contains information that allows a computer connected to a network to resolve names into addresses.

Change it to, for example, Google's DNS servers:

nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4

Hope this will resolve the issue.
