Could not find package drush/drush

Question

I'm facing a problem while I'm running this commmand composer require drush/drush but it didn't work for me and I got this error message:

[InvalidArgumentException] Could not find package drush/drush. It was however found via repository search, which indicates a consistency issue with the repository.

I'm using Drupal 8.9.18, Drush version : 10.6.1 and my PHP version is: php7.1.33 my composer.json file :

Can you maybe add your composer.json to your question? Maybe misconfigured somehow. Which version of Composer BTW? Maybe `composer clear-cache` helps. — leymannx, Oct 05 '21 at 16:24
Still having the same issue after running composer clear-cache . I just added my composer.json file — joes, Oct 06 '21 at 07:52

You need to have an installable set of packages. drupal/gigya doesn't really exist (anymore). You also should not be using the drupal/legacy-project at all.

This is the best I came up with, although that's maybe not giving you the version of Gigya you want. Not sure, try it out. Check the updated respositories section and the updated "gigya/gigya-drupal": "*" package name which will always get you the latest master from GitHub.

@joes – Yes of course, you won't be able to require any package if not. Maybe only the repositories section was wrong. Don't know the history of it. But thanks for the downvote Joes. Just trying to help you. — leymannx, Oct 06 '21 at 17:18
