after generating composer.json, composer outdated does not list any drupal projects

[EgbertBleyenburg]

After being able to create a composer.json from an installed d8 siet (using https://github.com/grasmash/composerize-drupal/issues/3 ) everything seems fine, but running

composer outdated 'drupal/*'

Which should give me the list of outdated projects, this gives me nothing, while the UI reports gives me a list of modules (and core) to upgrade.

composer outdated gives me a large list but without any drupal modules

This is my generated composer file

Same problem here.

And I get this error during the command:

**Created composer.json

[ErrorException]
Undefined index: version**

This is the gereated composer file:

@handkerchief333 that happened to me as well. In my case I had a module I was developing and on its .info.yml file I didn't have version entry. After I've added that, it worked. Be advised that if this module is on Drupal.org and you're working on code changes, you'll lost it because composerize will download the version from drupal.org.

[handkerchief333]

@rfsbsb Ok thanks. I have now chosen another variant, has worked well: https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/installing-drupal/2018-04-08/how-switch-to-composer-installation#comment-12562576

[grasmash]

It's not clear to me that this is actually an issue with https://github.com/grasmash/composerize-drupal. The generated composer.json looks correct. @handkerchief333 is this problem not present after using a different solution?

[handkerchief333]

@grasmash No. After the other solution it works really well. But I had to "require" all projects that I had already installed.

I think this was resolved in https://github.com/grasmash/composerize-drupal/commit/0fdd38ffee99373ceb32df91c9c8f5e4106b1c68
