I had this problem sometimes, on windows, on mac, on ubuntu ...
I have this composer.json:
{
"name": "laravel/laravel",
"description": "The Laravel Framework.",
"keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
"license": "MIT",
"require": {
"laravel/framework": "4.2.*",
"zizaco/confide": "~4.0@dev",
"zizaco/entrust": "1.2.*@dev",
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~4.0"
},
"require-dev": {
"phpunit/phpunit": "4.1.4",
"behat/behat": "3.0.12",
"behat/mink": "1.5.0",
"behat/mink-extension": "2.0.0",
"behat/mink-goutte-driver": "1.0.9",
"codeception/verify": "0.2.7",
"codeception/specify": "0.3.6"
},
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"app/commands",
"app/controllers",
"app/models",
"app/database/migrations",
"app/database/seeds",
"app/tests/TestCase.php"
]
},
"scripts": {
"post-install-cmd": [
"php artisan clear-compiled",
"php artisan optimize"
],
"post-update-cmd": [
"php artisan clear-compiled",
"php artisan optimize"
],
"post-create-project-cmd": [
"php artisan key:generate"
]
},
"config": {
"bin-dir": "bin/",
"preferred-install": "dist"
},
"minimum-stability": "stable"
}
This is Laravel 4 with several testing packages.
After installing the composer or updating the composer, the bin directory is not created in my project.
I have to have one binary for phpunit and another for behavior. So I have to use commands like vendor / behat / bin / behat and vendor / phpunit / phpunit / phpunit which are pain.
Any idea why the binaries are not in the bin folder?
Yesterday, in some project with fewer packages, I had a binary folder with phpunit binary code. Now there is no. I do not understand.
