When I try to generate static content for my custom theme I get an error:

After runing composer update problem was fixed.

@serzhik Your latest comment states the issue was fixed by running composer updated, but then you re-opened the issue. Are you still encountering errors. generating static content? If so, can you post details… steps to reproduce, php / mysql versions, etc?

[serzhik]

1. Install Magento 2.0.2.
2. Copy custom theme to app/design/frontend/Vendor/theme
3. Run php bin/magento setup:upgrade
4. Run php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
5. Get an error.

I think it can be related to #2797

I delete folder vendor and run composer update.
Problem was resolved.

Good to know. If you run into this again, let us know!

[grasdaggel]

We have the same problem but no chance to use the composer over the Terminal. Any other ideas how to fix it?

1. To add new theme you need to turn in developer mode.
2. Sometimes new theme added to 'theme' table with param 'type'=1 (virtual theme). Try to set it to 0 (physical theme)

I faced same problem when I trying to redeploy static content.

I realised that, "Vendor/theme => Magento/lumaClone" hasn't registered on my "theme" table. Then I added that entry manually.

Then I executed following commands from Magento root directory

php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento cache:flush
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

After that my problem was sorted.

Hope this would help someone.
