Quick Composer

Generates composer.lock using travis-ci.

Overview

Installing an application's PHP libraries with composer install is generally quite fast and painless.

However running composer update each time you need to add a new library can take a long time, and can fail for various reasons including network or sometimes just randomness.

Once the update has been run, composer generates a file named composer.lock. If this file is present you can install by running composer install.

This repository leverages travis-ci to create a composer.lock using a remote machine on a stable network. This file can then be copied locally to bypass local composer update issues.

Setup

To add the repository to travis-ci see their getting started guide.

Instructions

• Update composer.json.
• Visit travis-ci.
• Search the raw log for cat composer.lock, copy the following content to your local composer.lock.
• Run composer install locally.
