Use "tags" instead of branches

[robregonm]

I'm trying to import "bower-asset/can-connect": "0.5.5" (0.5.5 is a tag), however for some reason the tags are not "detected". I tried other alternatives (like "asset-repositories" section, "dev-xxxxx", etc) without success.

Not sure if this is a bug or it is not supported yet.

Thanks in advance.

Have you installed the plugin in global mode? See the doc.

Because for me:

$ composer install --prefer-dist -v
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Adding VCS repository bower-asset/can-connect
Reading bower.json of bower-asset/can-connect (v0.5.5)

Yes, In fact, I've installed many packages before, however, for some reason I get this message:

The requested package bower-asset/can-connect 0.5.5 exists as bower-asset/can-connect[dev-master] but these are rejected by your constraint.

This is not the very first time that this happens, the way I use to fix is to remove the "vendor" directory and clean the composer cache, and then I reinstall all the composer packages.

Even, I installed the development version of the plugin, because I thought it could be related to #211 or #172

However, no definitive solution so far. Thanks in advance.
