Tooling

Composer bin Plugin

For all of our tooling we use the Composer bin plugin, to avoid that the dependencies of your tools don't interfere with your application.

Install the library as a dev dependency:

composer req --dev bamarni/composer-bin-plugin

Then enable the tool in your composer.json:

{
	"extra": {
		"bamarni-bin": {
			"bin-links": false,
			"forward-command": true
		}
	}
}

You should ignore the nested vendor directories in your .gitignore and the composer.lock:

/vendor-bin/*/composer.lock
/vendor-bin/*/vendor

Best Practice

Ignoring the composer.lock has the advantage, that the CI will always install the latest versions -> you will never have outdated code style & linting results.

PHPUnit

If you need to use PHPUnit, you should use the PHPUnit bridge from Symfony, so that the dependencies of PHPUnit (which have a large overlap with a common Symfony application) don't interfere with your project.

Run your tests with:

./vendor/bin/simple-phpunit
