Yii2: the file or directory to be published does not exist bower/jquery/dist

问题

执行 yii 的 gii 命令时发生类似如下错误

the file or directory to be published does not exist bower/jquery/dist

原因

出现这一问题的原因是 Composer asset plugin 版本太低，需要升级

解决方法

参考这里 https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/docs/guide-zh-CN/start-installation.md 升级您的 Composer asset plugin ，也就是使用如下命令：

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:^1.3.1"
