Hello all,
Which is the right way to update the latest version of the module using composer like either remove the installed one and reinstall the latest one?
Note: While install(“composer require modulename:1.1.0”) with the existing module(version 1.0.0) I have faced the error “Nothing to install”.
So, please share your valuable feedback on this topic.
Hello 
which OXID eShop Version you use?
I am using the latest OXid eshop version 6.2.1.
Hi Mohana,
We normally change the Version to use in composer.json and call “composer update --no-dev”. This works for us.
Cheers, Thorsten
Since OXID eShop Community Edition 6.2.x, the modules have 4 states. More Informations Installation and Activation — OXID eShop developer documentation 6.2.0 documentation
An Example to Update your PayPal Module Version 6.2.0 to 6.2.1
To change composer.json and composer.lock via console.
composer require --no-update oxid-esales/paypal-module:v6.2.1
composer update --no-dev
and maybe to load new metadata settings in your 1.yaml File
vendor/bin/oe-console oe:module:apply-configuration
To query the available module versions you can search via https://packagist.org/ your module e.g. PayPal Modul you find with “oxid-esales/paypal-module” and the result oxid-esales/paypal-module - Packagist
On the right side you can see the available versions and how to address them.
You have to differentiate between composer install --no-dev and composer update --no-dev
When you use composer install --no-dev, you have to define a new version in composer.json beforehand.
