I had this issue as well.

In my case the cause was that I was running development inside a docker environment (DDEV) that had composer/composer 2.7.2 installed globally in the container, while this package installed composer/composer 2.7.6 locally in the project.

If you look closely at the top of the stack trace you see that at some point the global composer makes a call to the local composer, but those two versions are not quite compatible.

I was able to get past the issue by ensuring the container's global composer/composer version and the project's local composer/composer version were exactly the same.

I'm getting the same error when running a workflow on GitHub Actions – nothing to do with this project, but it's the only search result. I've been working on a Composer plugin, brianhenryie/composer-fallback-to-git, which is probably involved since most projects wouldn't have anything in vendor/composer except their autoload files.

As LauHypershop pointed out, the backtrace uses both the Composer phar:/// and the vendor/composer/composer/src/ files.

I'll update this thread if I figure out a solution.

Yeah I recently had it in another environment as well, and then it turned out my global composer install was lagging behind the project's composer version. Self-update fixed it.
