If you answer "no" to Composer plugin authorization prompts, important plugins like composer/installers do not execute, which can lead to an instance of Drupal installed into the vendor directory

I tried following steps to make it work which are similar to https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3276393#comment-14493922 💬 If you answer "no" to Composer plugin authorization prompts, important plugins like composer/installers do not execute, which can lead to an instance of Drupal installed into the vendor directory Fixed ,

composer require composer/installers
rm -rf vendor/autoload.php vendor/autoload_runtime.php vendor/composer
composer install

In my case, composer/installers was already set to true. After running the above steps, I was able to clear the cache and run database updates.

Thanks @amitgoyal, #16 works for me.
