Hi
I got some errors when I am submitting my plugin for code review
Basic plugin analysis failed.
the composer.json file is invalid, Context: [reason: [require] The property require is required
I have checked the code with PHPstan And Sonarqube but these errors are not showing.

I have the similar problem, that called
```
**Basic plugin analysis failed.** the required composer.json file was not found, Context: [reason: The essential composer.json file for the plugin was not in the expected folder.
```
but my composer.json is in root. And it works in shopware.
How looks your composer Syntax?

I have fixed this issue by adding
“require”: {
“shopware/core”: “^6.0”,
“shopware/storefront”: “^6.0”,
“shopware/administration”: “^6.0”
}, in composer.json file
