Php composer update without replace the lock file

i got a problem with composer
In the VM instance, php and some packages installed(listed in composer.lock file)
When i try to install new package at local(i copy package folder from another VM can install via internet) the old composer.lock which list installed package will be replace with information of only new package i install.

step:

i update composer.json with new package

{
    "repositories": [
        {
            "packagist": false
        },
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "/path/to/artifact/"
        }   
    ], 
    "require": {
        "firebase/php-jwt": "^6.4"
    }
}

then run
php composer.phar update

new package installed but composer.lock just have only new package(php-jwt) all other contents deleted

what i can do for install new package and update(append) information to composer.lock instead of add only new package to it?

Update: i change update command to require, the same result

php composer.phar require /path/to/artifact/

    The command

    composer update

    reads the composer.json file and update/downgrade/remove/add the packages following the list in the require section to the latest version possible following its rules and avoiding conflicts.

    In your case only the firebase/php-jwt is specified, so only itself and its dependecies are kept/updated and all other packages are removed and composer.lock reflects the state after the update operation.

    To solve the issue you should use the full package list contained in the composer.json file that references the packages originally installed and add the firebase/php-jwt package manually to it and run the command:

    composer update

    or use the command:

    composer require firebase/php-jwt:^6.4

    to let composer add the firebase/php-jwt package to the composer.json file and install the package.

    You’re effectively updating the lock-file as configured and with the right command – composer update – the question is merely getting the grasp on the removals:

    Lock file operations: 1 install, 0 updates, 50 removals
  - Removing cakephp/debug_kit (2.2.9)
  - Removing clue/stream-filter (v1.6.0)
  - Removing composer/installers (v1.12.0)
  - Removing doctrine/instantiator (1.4.1)
  ...
  - Locking firebase/php-jwt (6.4.0)
Writing lock file

    As composers’ version locking shows every package other than firebase/php-jwt must not be installed and is/will be removed, it shows that you have a mismatch between your expectation and what you actually configured composer to do. See the --dry-run option to verify your changes before applying them to validate your expectations beforehand then you can spare yourself the trouble.

    Now I wrote that this is "as configured". That is because you shared your configuration:

    {
    "repositories": [
        {
            "packagist": false
        },
        {
            "type": "path",
            "url": "/path/to/artifact/"
        }   
    ], 
    "require": {
        "firebase/php-jwt": "^6.4"
    }
}

    The only package that is required is firebase/php-jwt. Where have all the others gone? Well, you haven’t shared in your question so I can only guess and I’d say you edited the composer.json file and while doing so, you have removed the actual requirements of the project.

    Restore the original composer.json and composer.lock files as well as the vendor folder from backup to recover the project requirements and dependencies.

    And don’t just blindly apply changes to those files. If you’re offline just copy the two composer files and the according vendor folder and you’re set.

    If you can’t live being offline and not able to run most of the composer commands for some reason, read the following:

    COMPOSER_DISABLE_NETWORK

    If set to 1, disables network access (best effort). This can be used for debugging or to run Composer on a plane or a starship with poor connectivity.

    If set to prime, GitHub VCS repositories will prime the cache, so it can then be used fully offline with 1. (ref)

    And additionally from my own offline experience, you don’t have to disable the (default) packagist repository as composer realizes when there is no network and falls back to the cache.

    Copy over the (primed) composer cache from the online machine where you get the updates from, it is pretty portable. Study the composer manual if you need dedicated tweaking like overriding the default size limit.
