Hello. Have some problems with separated advanced app skeleton install. What i've done:

composer asset plugin installed by

composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:1.0.0-beta4"

next yii2 framework

composer global require "yiisoft/yii2:2.0.*@dev"

the app-advanced skeleton in a separate folder /home/dima/advanced

composer create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced

correct paths to autoload yii2 from /frontend/web/index.php generated by init

<?php
defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG', true);
defined('YII_ENV') or define('YII_ENV', 'dev');
$vendor = '/home/dima/.composer/vendor';
require($vendor . '/autoload.php');
require($vendor . '/yiisoft/yii2/Yii.php');
require(__DIR__ . '/../../common/config/bootstrap.php');
require(__DIR__ . '/../config/bootstrap.php');

$config = yii\helpers\ArrayHelper::merge(
    require(__DIR__ . '/../../common/config/main.php'),
    require(__DIR__ . '/../../common/config/main-local.php'),
    require(__DIR__ . '/../config/main.php'),
    require(__DIR__ . '/../config/main-local.php')
);

$application = new yii\web\Application($config);
$application->run();

I tried to play with @Vendor and other paths
But can't resolve the error

Do you have bower under vendor? Any errors or warnings prior to this one?

Why do you install yii2 globally?

the last thing it was

$ composer create-project --prefer-dist --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced1
Installing yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced (dev-master dec904b708687d49ba5dd300357b9cc657dd119c)
  - Installing yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced (dev-master master)
    Loading from cache

Created project in advanced1



  [ErrorException]
  file_put_contents(vendor/yiisoft/extensions.php): failed to open stream: No
   such file or directory

And the /vendor dir missing. So after a few hours of struggling i decided to delete my global .composer/ dir and repeat yii2 install.
And it works )

To Cebe. yii2 installed with another two massive php framework cores globally (composer global require).
I was wondering, can i use those cores separate from applications in this env and if i use composer autoload.php, are the classes wil be loaded by demand ...

Is there a way to move /vendor to global .composer/vendor dir and point advanced-app skeleton to use these dependencies from global path, so i can make application package without /vendor directory ?

[cebe]

it is not a good idea to install yii globally because different applications may depend on different versions of yii. However I have checked in a fix for the yii2-composer plugin to create the directory in case it did not exist before.

I think I had the same problem, trying to update from 2.0 beta to 2.0.1 stable, the framework was not update correctly and the '@bower' alias was still set to 'bower' instead of 'bower-asset'

@SaWey make sure that you have the following in your composer.json: https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/apps/basic/composer.json#L49
