Support Composer 2

[samdark]

composer-plugin-api for upcoming Composer 2 (can be installed with composer self-update --snapshot) has version 2.0.0.

The foxy/foxy package requires composer-plugin-api version 1.0.0 thus can't be used with Composer 2.

I have not yet had the opportunity to look in more detail the version 2.0 of Composer. Is it just a matter of version constraint? Or, are there more problematic changes for this plugin?

The interface has changed, see https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/master/UPGRADE-2.0.md#upgrades-guides-for-composer-1x-to-20

Looks like the following would work:

1. Change constraint in composer.json. "composer-plugin-api": "^1.0|^2.0",

2. In the Foxy class add two dummy methods:

   public function deactivate(Composer $composer, IOInterface $io): void
   {
       // do nothing
   }
   
   public function uninstall(Composer $composer, IOInterface $io): void
   {
     // do nothing
   }

3. You may do cleanup in deactivate and uninstall but it doesn't seem to be necessary for the plugin to just work as before.
4. There could be extras...

@samdark Thank you! I will try to find some time this weekend to test the compatibility with Composer v2.

Interesting. Composer 2 fails to install it:

Sure enough, I also get this error now.

My test was with the master branch and not with a compiled version of Composer. This comes from checking the version of Composer which is a SHA1 and not @package_version@ for the snapshots.

I add this case right away.
