A simple virtual environment for composer
.
Inspired by Python's
virtualenv
, this package
adds a script for prepending vendor/bin
to the PATH
variable to
make it easier to run commands installed via composer
.
Background
Assume your composer.json
contains
"require-dev": { "phpunit/phpunit": "^6.5", "drush/drush": "^9.2" }
After running composer install
you have to make sure to run
vendor/bin/phpunit
or vendor/bin/drush
, respectively, to run the
right command. If you just run phpunit
you'll will run any globally
installed version of phpunit
(or get an error if phpunit
is not
installed).
Composer virtualenv, helps you run the right commands, i.e. the ones
installed using composer
, without having to (remember to) type
vendor/bin/
every time.
Installation
composer require itk-dev/composer-virtualenv "^1.0"
Activating the virtual environment
To deactivate the virtual environment, run
source vendor/bin/activate
Note: It is important to source
the script – it will not work if
it is run.
This prepends the path vendor/bin
to the PATH
environment
variable, and any command installed using composer
will be run
instead of any globally available command of the same name.
Deactivating the virtual environment
To deactivate the virtual environment and restore the PATH
variable to its original value, run
deactivate
