Trouble installing global package with composer for Yii2

What version of Cloud Foundry and CF CLI are you using? (i.e. What is the output of running cf curl /v2/info && cf version? cf version 6.26.0+9c9a261fd.2017-06-27

What version of the buildpack you are using? Buildpack version 4.3.43

If you were attempting to accomplish a task, what was it you were attempting to do? In order to use Yii 2.0, composer requires the fxp/composer-asset-plugin to be installed globaly, I saw on different forums and also on #163 that adding the ADDITIONAL_PREPROCESS_CMDS property in the options.json file should fix the problem, but I am not seeing any output when deploying my application that shows the composer is installing that dependency.

.bp-config/options.json { "PHP_VERSION": "{PHP_56_LATEST}", "PHP_EXTENSIONS": ["mcrypt","mbstring"], "ADDITIONAL_PREPROCESS_CMDS": [ "php php/bin/composer.phar global require \"fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.4.1\"" ] }

I also tried adding a custom command using the pre-update-cmd property in the composer.json file. In this case I see the composer installing the plugin needed but when doing the composer install I am still getting the same error message.

Potential causes:

• A typo in the package name
• The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting see https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability for more details. Read https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md for further common problems. Running update with --no-dev does not mean require-dev is ignored, it just means the packages will not be installed. If dev requirements are blocking the update you have to resolve those problems.

I don’t think ADDITIONAL_PREPROCESS_CMDS is what you want. Those commands would run prior to your app starting in the runtime environment, not at staging. For what it’s worth, ADDITIONAL_PREPROCESS_CMDS has largely replaced by using a .profile script.

There’s also no way through the buildpack to install a global composer module. The current extension only installs modules for the project, you can see how the command is run here.

Without some sort of feature request, the best you can probably do would be to hack around this. I haven’t used Yii, so I’m not sure sure what would be the best way to do that.

As far as a feature request goes, what do you think would be a good way to specify global packages that need installed with composer? Perhaps and an option to options.json like COMPOSER_INSTALL_GLOBAL? The option could be a list so you could specify packages like ["fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.4.1", "some-other-package:~0.34"]. Or can you include that into the composer.json file & we could fish it out of there?
