Yii2 fork: dev-custom exists as yiisoft/yii2 but these are rejected by your constraint – Php versions

I’m trying to use my forked version of yiisoft/yii2 in an installation of yii2-app-advanced.

I’ve followed this wiki.

I have created a branch named custom and pushed it to my yii2 fork.

In the composer.json of my fork I have the following (does it matter?):

...
"extra": {
    "branch-alias": {
        "dev-custom": "2.0.x-dev"
    }
...

Then in my yii2-app-advanced installation I have the following composer.json:

{
    "name": "yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced",

    ...

    "minimum-stability": "stable",
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://github.com/david-it/yii2"
        }        
    ],
    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.6.0",
        "yiisoft/yii2": "dev-custom",
        "yiisoft/yii2-swiftmailer": "~2.0.0 || ~2.1.0",
        "yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap4": "~2.0.6"
    },

    ...

}

When I run composer update I get the following error:

Problem 1
    - The requested package yiisoft/yii2 dev-custom exists as yiisoft/yii2[2.0.0, 2.0.0-alpha, 2.0.0-beta, 2.0.0-rc, 2.0.1, 2.0.10, 2.0.11, 2.0.11.1, 2.0.11.2, 2.0.12, 2.0.12.1, 2.0.12.2, 2.0.13, 2.0.13.1, 2.0.13.2, 2.0.13.3, 2.0.14, 2.0.14.1, 2.0.14.2, 2.0.15, 2.0.15.1, 2.0.16, 2.0.16.1, 2.0.17, 2.0.18, 2.0.19, 2.0.2, 2.0.20, 2.0.21, 2.0.22, 2.0.23, 2.0.24, 2.0.25, 2.0.26, 2.0.27, 2.0.28, 2.0.29, 2.0.3, 2.0.30, 2.0.31, 2.0.32, 2.0.4, 2.0.5, 2.0.6, 2.0.7, 2.0.8, 2.0.9, 2.1.x-dev, 3.0.x-dev, dev-master, 2.0.x-dev] but these are rejected by your constraint.

The command composer why-not yiisoft/yii2 dev-custom (if it is any useful here) shows this:

yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap4   2.0.8   requires  yiisoft/yii2 (~2.0)     
yiisoft/yii2-debug        2.1.13  requires  yiisoft/yii2 (~2.0.13)  
yiisoft/yii2-faker        2.0.4   requires  yiisoft/yii2 (~2.0.0)   
yiisoft/yii2-gii          2.1.4   requires  yiisoft/yii2 (~2.0.14)  
yiisoft/yii2-swiftmailer  2.1.2   requires  yiisoft/yii2 (>=2.0.4)

I’m not sure what I am missing. I’ve looked around including this and this questions but with no luck.

EDIT 1

Composer 1.9.3 (2020-02-04 12:58:49) with PHP 7.2.24-0ubuntu0.18.04.3 on Linux / 4.15.0-91-generic

EDIT 2

Selecting dev-master as required works but the original files are downloaded (not the ones in the fork).

"require": {
        ...
        "yiisoft/yii2": "dev-master",
        ...
}

I also tried all the tips from this answer with no luck.

    After long hours of trial-and-error I've found two working solutions.

    Solution 1 (With the help of Yii2 forum)

    The branch apparently is considered "unstable", so you need to specify @dev to make composer work fine:

    "require": {
        ...
        "yiisoft/yii2": "dev-master@dev",
        ...
}

    Solution 2

    In the composer.json of my fork I've added an alias pointing to the branch:

    "extra": {
    "branch-alias": {
        "dev-master": "2.0.x-dev",
        "dev-custom": "2.0.n-dev"
    }
}

    Where n is just number (it should be unique among the versions available, I guess).

    Then in the composer.json of my project I used "yiisoft/yii2": "2.0.n.x-dev".

    I'm not quite sure why I have to use "2.0.n.x-dev" instead of "2.0.n-dev". A possible explanation is here.

    At the moment, you have the custom branch. You need to create a branch named dev-custom in this situation, use the same branch name in require section of your composer.json file.

    Your custom branch name must be prefixed with dev-.
