You can run composer with the --ignore-platform-reqs flag

patch releases in laravel forge too old
Hello there ~
Using global Composer installation.
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies from lock file
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- This package requires php ^8.0.6 but your PHP version (8.0.5) does not satisfy that requirement.
How do you get this specific version?

Hi @tykus
Yea, I gave that a go here:
cd {{release}}
php artisan horizon:purge
php artisan horizon:terminate
php artisan view:clear
php artisan event:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:clear
composer clearcache
composer dump-autoload
composer update
composer install --no-dev --no-scripts --ignore-platform-reqs
But still had that issue. Any ideas why?
Tried it without composer update and with.

Any ideas why?
No, it has typically worked for me in the past. You also have the option to fake the PHP version in the composer config

interesting - you've got tricks up both sleeves!
is this how you'd do that?
"require": {
"php": "^8.0.6",
...
goes to
"require": {
{"php": "^8.0.5", "php": "^8.0.6"},
...

Well, another dev said, "do your packages require 8.0.6?" Wasn't sure, so I notched it down to ^8.0.5 that did the trick.
But the painful thing is why would a local dev bring in 8.0.6 but forge bring in 8.0.5? I'll reach out and let you know...

The earlier suggestion was to use the config key in the composer.json to fake a PHP version. I would not be liberal with its use; only in the circumstances such as yours, for a patch release. The point is some dependency has specified a minimum 8.0.6 version, so you need to find a way to either support or fake that requirement. This should be a temporary measure until Forge supports the minimum requirement of that particular package.
