yii2 composer update fatal error - solr

Question

When I update my composer to add yii2-solr extension to my project, I encounter with an error like below:
The "yiisoft/yii2-composer" plugin requires composer-plugin-api 1.0.0, this *WILL* break in the future and it should be fixed ASAP (require ^1.0 for example).
The "fxp/composer-asset-plugin" plugin requires composer-plugin-api 1.0.0, this *WILL* break in the future and it should be fixed ASAP (require ^1.0 for example).
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Package\Version\VersionParser::parseLinks() in /root/.composer/vendor/fxp/composer-asset-plugin/Repository/VcsPackageFilter.php on line 272
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Fxp\Composer\AssetPlugin\Package\Version\VersionParser::parseLinks() in /root/.composer/vendor/fxp/composer-asset-plugin/Repository/VcsPackageFilter.php on line 272
before that I've ran composer self-updatebut still not work and when I want to run
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.1"
again the above error shown.
This is my composer.json file content:

How can I fix this error?
Thanks.

Answer 1

1) Remove old version of Composer Asset Plugin:
composer global remove "fxp/composer-asset-plugin"
2) Install newer version. Recommended version for installation is now (by the moment of writing this) 1.1.1 (see official docs).
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1.1"
I'd even recommend to use:
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:*"
3) Run composer install in your project folder. In case of errors, delete vendor folder contents and composer.lock file and run composer install again.

Answer 2

If arogachev's answer doesn't exactly work for you, here is a quick fix.
Manually delete the vendor folder in your global composer installation. The folder to delete for eg. on ubuntu : /home/user/.composer/vendor
Install the newer version of the plugin
composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:*"
That should be all. You will get all your files back and you can continue

Answer 3

Bower-Asset skip way:
You can require yidas/yii2-composer-bower-skip before yiisoft/yii2 in composer.json file:
"require": {
"php": ">=5.4.0",
"yidas/yii2-composer-bower-skip": "~2.0.0",
"yiisoft/yii2": ">=2.0.5",
"yiisoft/yii2-bootstrap": "*",
...
Then run composer update.
This case is for that you don't need the update for Bower.
See https://github.com/yidas/yii2-composer-bower-skip

Answer 4

Rollback composer to 1.x version - the said plugin does not work (yet) with composer 2.x (as discussed here):
sudo composer self-update --rollback
