Getting Error on Composer Update

Summary of issue

Getting Error on composer update
Problem 1
- idavoll/core-module dev-master requires nwidart/laravel-modules ^8.0 -> found nwidart/laravel-modules[dev-master, 8.0.0, 8.0.x-dev (alias of dev-master), 8.1.0, 8.2.0] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (^4.0).
- idavoll/core-module 4.0.x-dev is an alias of idavoll/core-module dev-master and thus requires it to be installed too.
- Root composer.json requires idavoll/core-module 4.0.x-dev -> satisfiable by idavoll/core-module[4.0.x-dev (alias of dev-master)].

Steps to reproduce

composer update on existing project

Asgard v4 is now at Laravel 8. The only breaking changes, as far as I could tell when upgrading my modules, was that you either have to install the new laravel/helpers package or change all of the str_* and arr_* helpers to their \Illuminate\Support\Str::* and \Illuminate\Support\Arr::* counterparts. If you have any deferrable service providers ($defer = true;), you need to change them to the new trait-based deferrable way of doing things.

I would create a new Asgard project (either download master as a zip, clone master to a different directory, or use composer/Asgard installer), then use a file comparison tool to see what all you need to change in the root (things like composer.json, package.json, etc.) and app directories.

so what about for previous projects? I have many projects in laravel 5.7. I dont want to update anything. Could you please tell me what version should i use for 5.7?
Upgrading should be on new version# rather than existing one.

Hi @abdulrahman156,

I'm sorry about the slow reply, yesterday was a national holiday for me. If you don't want to upgrade to Laravel 8, you'll need to use a specific commit hash to keep using Laravel 5.7. For example, for the Core module, you'd need to use this hash: c55235fd8a14390a981b10c5ff26a5f73d5e4180. That was the last one to be on Laravel 5.7. You'll have to check the other Asgard modules you use to see which hashes to use: https://github.com/Idavoll. You'll want anything before November 1st, as that was when the first PR upgrading to Laravel 5.8 was merged.

Yes, I agree upgrading should be on a new version number, however, Asgard v4 was never officially released. I don't know if Nicolas would tag the commit just before the upgrade to Laravel 5.7 as v4, then tag the other major Laravel jumps as a new major, or if he'll even tag a v4 at this point.
