Composer install succeeds but does not install the toolkit

[jeremykendall]

I attempted to follow the Composer installation instructions this morning. composer install ran without errors, but the plugin was not installed to app/Plugin.

Environment info:

• Vagrant VM built from puphpet
• box: puphpet/debian75-x64
• Cake version: 2.4.3

PHP version:

$ php -v
PHP 5.5.12-1~dotdeb.1 (cli) (built: May  6 2014 03:56:10)

Composer version:

$ composer --version
Composer version 71397f82e4bdf4722bcbfeb43be0d30831376d3d 2014-06-04 12:20:36

composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "cakephp/debug_kit": "2.2.*"
    }
}

Installation results:

Missing DebugKit:

$ ls -l /var/www/app/Plugin/

I was able to get the plugin installed by following the git submodule instructions, but I would much prefer to use Composer.

Seems to work for me:

$ php composer.phar require cakephp/debug_kit 2.2.*

Perhaps you should check-in with the composer folks? There is not much that can be done in DebugKit to resolve this.

@jeremykendall Was it the first time you ran composer install for your app? If not try running composer update or remove the composer.lock file and run composer install again.

@ADmad && @markstory Thanks for the input. I haven't been able to get the composer install working in a test project, but it worked great in an existing project, so it appears to be an issue on my end. I'll go ahead and close this one.

Thanks again.
