I'm new to laravel & homestead, im currently trying to create a new project using this command composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog "5.6.*" but i encountered this error

  - Removing kylekatarnls/update-helper (1.2.1)
    Install of kylekatarnls/update-helper failed


  [RuntimeException]
  Could not delete /home/vagrant/code/project2/vendor/kylekatarnls/update-helper/src:

when i tried to do so. I have tried solutions given by other post such as

  • composer global require kylekatarnls/update-helper (this just repeat the errors above)
  • composer install (this just repeat the errors above)
  • composer update --prefer-source (this would run, but it would cause another error reflectionParameters)
  • composer dump-autoload (same for this one as well)
  • composer install --no-plugins(this one leads to more error for me related to reflectionParameters errors, so i would like to avoid using that.)

I think you are not using NFS. There is a known issue for the VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18776

The issue still around for VirtualBox 6.1.18

Similar Question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/63139337/9104189

Using NFS basically resolve all the share folder performance issue and resolve all the weird "Could not delete xxx" issue

Install the NFS plugin:

vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd

Update your Homestead.yaml

...

folders:
    - map: C:\<your code folder>
      to: /home/vagrant/code
      type: "nfs"
...

I WAS FACING THIS ISSUE

Problem 1 - kylekatarnls/update-helper is locked to version 1.1.1 and an update of this package was not requested. - kylekatarnls/update-helper 1.1.1 requires composer-plugin-api ^1.1.0 -> found composer-plugin-api[2.1.0] but it does not match the constraint. Problem 2 - kylekatarnls/update-helper 1.1.1 requires composer-plugin-api ^1.1.0 -> found composer-plugin-api[2.1.0] but it does not match the constraint. - nesbot/carbon 1.39.0 requires kylekatarnls/update-helper ^1.1 -> satisfiable by kylekatarnls/update-helper[1.1.1]. - nesbot/carbon is locked to version 1.39.0 and an update of this package was not requested.

I searched for hours on google then what worked for me is the package was locked for composer version 1.^ and on my local I had 2.^ installed.

I have down graded my composer by this command = composer self-update --1

Hope it was helpful
