**Issue**
---------

Blocked by the error "Failed to retrieve the Drupal version in the requested VCS path". And you find an error like "Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version \\">= 7.4.0\\". You are running 7.3.27." buried in the logs.

**Resolution**
--------------

Try changing the composer.json back to something like

    "require": {
        "php": ">=7.3",

**Cause**
---------

The composer.json files requires PHP 7.4.
