Update issues v12 to lastest

[publish-web]

• Client library version: v17.1
• Google Ads API version: V12

Ubuntu 21.10

Hi,

I have some issues when I try to update google-ads-php.

Here is what I do :

• remove the vendor/googleads/google-ads-php/ directory

• git clone https://github.com/googleads/google-ads-php.git

• cd google-ads-php

• composer require googleads/google-ads-php

And I have this error :

Using version ^21.0 for googleads/google-ads-php Root package 'googleads/google-ads-php' cannot require itself in its composer.json

Can you help me please ?

Thank you!

You don't need to remove the google-ads-php directory. Instead, what you should is just running composer update from your project directory.

As the error message describes, you're requiring the library inside itself, which is wrong.

Thanks for your answer!

This is what I've done following your advice :

• cd google-ads-php
• composer update

But it returns :

Nothing to install, update or remove

In the composer.json file, I can see "17.1" and this my current library version :

{
    "require": {
        "grpc/grpc": "^1.38",
        "google/protobuf": "^3.17",
        "googleads/google-ads-php": "^17.1"
    }
}

But I'm trying to update to 21.0, should I edit this file manually?

Nope. Please don't cd into the google-ads-php folder. You should do this at your own project directory (the parent of vendor)

I finished to figure it out on my own, it works now! Thanks for your help!
