I am developing a web application with Symfony 2. The code of my own bundle that forms the heart of my application and some configurations files for application-wide settings are controlled by Git (mostly the directories, src/MyCompany/MyBundle, app/Resources/config, etc.) The rest is under control of Composer (the framework, 3rd party bundles, etc.)
Up to now, I ran a ./composer self-update && ./composer.phar update once in a while, pushed or fetched source code from the origin of my repository and everything has been working well.
Today, I started a new fresh working directory and experienced some odd problems.
I performed
git clone <my git repo url> www
cd www
composer.phar install
The composer.json is part of my repository, hence it normally suffices to excute Composer in order to install the framework and all required bundles to get a fully working copy of my web application.
But today, composer.phar install stopped prematurely complainig about missing files. Luckily, I still had my old working directory, so I could copy over the missing files manually, and restart composer.phar. I had to repeat these steps several times until I ended with a fully working application.
The files that were missing are
app/console
AutoLoader.php
app_dev.php
AppCache.php
I thought that these files are part of the Symfony framework and expected them to be installed by Composer. Fot this reason they are not under control of my revision control system.
I found this related question. The answer is very generic und not particularly helpful. All it says is that for example app/console should be included into revision control, because it is not installed by Composer (any longer) and that there is a change in the directory structure due to the transition from Symfony 2 to 3. But I know for sure that app/console was installed by Composer in the past. Hence, something changed.
This leads me to the following questions
Is there any complete, up-to-date and official documentation
what should be included in the repository
what should be in .gitignore
what is managed by Composer?
Is there any documentation how to do the transistion from the old directory structure to the new one in preperation of Symfony 3?
I thought I read all README.md, all release information and everything in "Living on the Edge" of the Symfony site, but somehow I missed this.
The clean way to install Symfony2 from scratch with composer, is to use the following command:
composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition my_project_name
This will ensure that all basic structures are created. After that, you can still insert your customisations from the previous project.
Then you can add everything – except app/config/parameters.yml as well as the contents of vendor/, app/cache and app/logs – to your repository.
About transitioning to SF3, I guess there’ll be an upgrade path as soon as SF3 is stable enough to create such a document.
1.1. that depends how you want people to be able to fetch your bundle
1.2. I share with you my own .gitignore: beware I use git for my own use to have a security for my files, not to allow people to get my bundle:
# Cache and logs (Symfony2)
/app/cache/*
/app/logs/*
!app/cache/.gitkeep
!app/logs/.gitkeep
# Cache and logs (Symfony3)
/var/cache/*
/var/logs/*
!var/cache/.gitkeep
!var/logs/.gitkeep
# Parameters
/app/config/parameters.yml
/app/config/parameters.ini
# Managed by Composer
/app/bootstrap.php.cache
/var/bootstrap.php.cache
/bin/*
!bin/console
!bin/symfony_requirements
/vendor/
# Assets and user uploads
/web/bundles/
/web/uploads/
# PHPUnit
/app/phpunit.xml
/phpunit.xml
# Build data
/build/
# Composer PHAR
1.3. everything that is in composer.json
I'm looking to use Sylius for a new e-commerce site and wanted to have a play around first as it looks awesome but after installing all seems to work well on the front end but as soon as I view the login or register page, any kind of template or styling is missing. In fact there are no stylesheets or Javascript files set. All that appears are the raw unstyled forms and literally nothing else.
If I try to log in using the credentials at the end of the app/console sylius:install step, I receive the following error:
"An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("None of the chained routers were able to generate route: Route 'cmf_create_put_document_base' not found") in CmfCreateBundle::includejsfiles-create.html.twig at line 17.”
If I complete an order as a new customer and then view my account all I see printed to my screen is who I’m logged in as together with my username and email address and a logout link. That’s it.
Given I’ve had a play with the demo at http://demo.sylius.org/ this is not how I see it working.
If I grep the dev.log file, I find the following errors in addition to the one mentioned above:
[2014-12-11 10:07:29] assetic.ERROR: The template "CmfCreateBundle::includejsfiles-hallo-coffee.html.twig" contains an error: Unable to find file "#CmfCreateBundle/Resources/public/vendor/hallo/src/hallo.coffee". [] []
[2014-12-11 10:07:29] assetic.ERROR: The template "CmfCreateBundle::includejsfiles-ckeditor.html.twig" contains an error: Unable to find file "#CmfCreateBundle/Resources/public/vendor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js". [] []
If I look for the paths #CmfCreateBundle/Resources/public/vendor/hallo/src/hallo.coffee or #CmfCreateBundle/Resources/public/vendor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js I can verify they don’t exist in the vendor/symfony-cmf/create-bundle/Resources/public/vendor/ directory.
Install steps are:
composer create-project -s dev sylius/sylius-standard:v0.11.0 www, also tried composer
create-project -s dev sylius/sylius-standard www
cd www
chmod -R 775 web/media/ app/cache app/logs
chmod 664 app/configs/parameters.yml
composer run-script post-install-cmd as step 1 fails when trying to clear cache
app/console sylius:install with fixtures added
Of note, I’ve tried installing on VMWare (Ubuntu 12.04, PHP5.5) and an Amazon EC2 instance (Ubuntu 14.04, PHP5.6) and while I’m familiar with PHP and ZF2, I have zero Symfony 2 or Sylius experience.
Thanks in advance
I also just experienced this issue. To resolve it, simply add the following line to app/config/routing.yml:
symfony_cmf:
resource: #CmfCreateBundle/Resources/config/routing/rest_no_locale.xml
I'm investigating why the install didn't take care of this.
Although I couldn't get v0.11 working to get to the backend, installing v0.12, which was has just been released has resolved the issue. See more at http://sylius.org/blog/sylius-0-12-0-with-faceted-search.
Did you follow the steps here:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cmf/bundles/create/introduction.html#installation
I followed #avolkman trick with adding a routing rule:
symfony_cmf:
resource: #CmfCreateBundle/Resources/config/routing/rest_no_locale.xml
But this only fixed problem with missing js files but not fixed problem with missing template on login page.
I'm using new version 0.12 (Sylius Standard) and still have this issue.
To solve the error :
php app/console cmf:create:init-hallo-devel
clear the cache or remove it as usual
php app/console ca:c --env=prod and php app/console ca:c
rebuild assets (you'll see now hallo-coffee.js)
php app/console assetic:dump --env=prod --no-debug
Done ! No more errors
I have a Vagrant running Linux and I'm trying to install Symfony.
After the command composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition ./ "2.5.*" I have the error :

If I try to composer update another project, I always have this kind of error Could not delete
Any ideas?
Edit: For a simple sudo composer update -vvv on another project:

It happened once to me and it turns out that I was hitting composer's timeout.
You could take the following measures to gain some speed:
Increase composer process-timeout (default 300) (not really needed if the following settings will help you gain speed, but can't hurt)
Set dist as preferred install type.
Enable https protocol for github, which is faster.
~/.composer/config.json
{
"config": {
"process-timeout": 600,
"preferred-install": "dist",
"github-protocols": ["https"]
}
}
If you still have problems after that, you can also clear composer's cache:
rm -rf ~/.composer/cache
I was trying to update project dependencies (using composer update) during a Laravel Framework upgrade exercise in my local Homestead environment (having run vagrant ssh to login as the default "vagrant" user) and none of the previous answers in this thread made any difference to the...
Could not delete /home/vagrant/projects/projectname/vendor/kylekatarnls/update-helper/src/UpdateHelper
...error message I repeatedly encountered.
The only thing that worked for me was to include a composer option as follows:
composer update --no-plugins
Plugins are used to alter or extend the functionality of Composer. The above command disables all installed plugins. Unfortunately, I'm not clear as to why this command worked for me, as I certainly haven't written any plugins myself. All I can conclude is that there was an erroneous Composer plugin installed that was causing this issue.
TL;DR Switch to Docker. It is the industry standard.
I came across this issue and spent quite some time doing research. I've tried every possible option to fix it but none of them worked for me. For me, the bug occurred on GNU/Linux host with Vagrant and VirtualBox provider.
It turns out it's a VirtualBox bug related to the file system layer and race conditions when creating/deleting files. It occurs only for VirtualBox shared folders, not for regular ones. The sad part is that it seems like it's not going to be fixed any time soon.
Some guys reported that they were able to solve the problem using the following tricks:
Downgrading to VirtualBox version 6.0.4.
Using nfs or rsync instead of shared folders.
Patching composer to add some pauses after certain operations.
Disabling plugin usage with --no-plugins option.
But all of this seemed dirty to me. I personally was able to use a workaround suggested on GitHub which is to configure composer to install packages from sources. That's a simple and kind of clean trick which should not have significant negative side effects on your workflow. Try putting the following config into your ~/.config/composer/config.json. Or instead you can edit your composer.json accordingly depending on your needs. Keep in mind that composer.json will override your global config.
{
"config": {
"preferred-install": "source"
}
}
Just got the same issue.
I see the problem in accessing to some local files. In my case target directory was under "root" and I'm not the root user.
Solution
Change permissions/owner of your files/directory.
Redefine owner:
sudo chown myuser:myuser -R /path/to
Maybe there is some lack of permissions for group which you are in.
So, try to run:
sudo chmod g+rwX -R /path/to
Or maybe you may run your command with "sudo" if it works for you (not recommended). :)
P.S. Never use 777. It's not secure.
UPD1
Another thing, you may found out useful to solve the root of the cause, to wrap up your composer binary to run it always behalf a certain user.
$ cat /usr/local/bin/composer
#!/bin/bash
# run composer behalf www-data user
set -o pipefail
set -o errexit
set -o nounset
#set -o xtrace
[[ "${DEBUG:-}" = "true" ]] && set -o xtrace || true
composer_debug=$([[ 'true' != "${COMPOSER_DEBUG:-}" ]] || echo '-vvv' )
sudo -u www-data -- /usr/bin/composer ${composer_debug:-} $#
I had this problem when provisioning the machine, which was bootstrapped to run composer install. I simply exited the VM and ran composer install on the code on my host machine and it worked.
So, if you're facing this problem while running Composer inside the VM, just try running Composer from outside the VM.
Update: As pointed in the comments below, this can pose some problems with different versions of packages being installed owing to the difference in system configurations between the local and Vagrant environments, so exercise appropriate caution while trying this.
We're running into issues also. There are several people who seem to have this issue, a fix has not been provided. For more information you can look into github issues of vagrant-winnfsd.
for my case, I only used the NFS folders type instead of the shared folders and it works:
folders:
- map: ~/code/cs-cart-trial
to: /home/code/cs-cart-trial
type: "nfs"
Just run
sudo chmod -R 777 /folder/path
This will give you write access to the folder you are running composer in.
I know this is an old post but this works so I have to share it.
In my case I was trying composer update but I got
[RuntimeException]
Could not delete .../vendor/bin/php-parse:
Despite I'm using Laravel framework, this question was the first link in Google, so I decided to post an answer.
My solution was to grant ownership for vendor: sudo chown -R $USER:www-data vendor/ and
sudo chown -R $USER:www-data composer.json
Update: my host OS was Ubuntu 16.04.
Having the same issue for Cakephp 4.2.1
Error:
Could not delete /var/www/vendor/cakephp/plugin-installer/src:
Solution:
Based of https://stackoverflow.com/a/63139337/1110760
After trying out several options mentioned above, for me this was the easiest way to solve it.
composer install --prefer-source
The argument --no-plugins worked as well, sort of. It skipped some packages but my localhost seemed to work just fine. This is faster, but it's missing some.
On AWS I got this error while deploying Yii framework project there was this
/var/app/current/vendor/
folder i deleted everything inside it came back to my document root and ran composer update it fetched all the repos again.
In my case , by removing the plugin and re-create the box solve the issue.
For me it caused by composer's timeout. I checked my internet speed and found it dropped to 0.7M which is nearly unusable. After I reconnected the wifi and have my internet connection speed back to normal, the errors are gone.
This has something do to with the synchronization of the folders between host and guest OSes, the folder might be simply temporarily locked from your host machine.
The solution is simply to delete the offending .git folder from your host OS or reboot the machine and launch composer install again.
Ideally each OS has its own dependencies and different binaries, therefore you should isolate your /vendor folder out from the rsync/vagrant folder share, likewise you would do the same with /node_modules on a Nodejs project.
Another thing to check for, Composer needs to run in the context of a directory it has permissions to.
In my case I was trying to issue a create-project command from /var/www, aimed against /var/www/html. /var/www is owned by root, /var/www/html is owned by the same user I executed Composer as (www-data). I got the following error; Could not delete /var/www/html/:
Issued the same Composer command from within /var/www/html itself and it worked perfectly.
To me it helped to install a (new) version via command line from download homepage https://getcomposer.org/download/. I can exclude some file permissions as I was root with chmod +R 0777, though I had virtualbox mounted drive. Anyway since new version worked, would mean it was version, or running a new version via php phar, and the original bin belonged to root
php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
php -r "if (hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php') === '48e3236262b34d30969dca3c37281b3b4bbe3221bda826ac6a9a62d6444cdb0dcd0615698a5cbe587c3f0fe57a54d8f5') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
php composer-setup.php
php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"
I have solved the problem by creating a mount :
In /home/vagrant create a folder named vendor
then apply command : mount --bind /home/vagrant/vendor /path/to/source/vendor
It's a bit unrelated with the question, but in my case with Docker. It was failing because Webpack was watching and it didn't allow other files to be deleted.
It worked when I turned off Webpack.
I had same problems trying composer install

Best hack i found was to replace the unlink commands with the one below. I am running ubuntu.
sudo nano +219 /usr/share/php/Composer/Util/Filesystem.php
exec("sudo rm -rf $path");
return true;
For Windows users
Wow, I can't believe how long it took me to realize this, and sadly it has happened multiple times, and I'm finally writing this note so that I and others can quickly recover next time.
Just use Windows Explorer to go delete the /vendor/whatever_project_name folder instead of trying to delete it from the Vagrant command line.
Then run composer update to reinstall the dependencies.
I am trying to install Symfony 2.1.3 (latest). I am running composer and installs everything okay. The only error that I get is:
Script Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler::clearCache
handling the post-install-cmd event terminated with an exception
[RuntimeException]
An error occurred when executing the "'cache:clear --no-warmup'" command.
It's being installed under www folder. I am running nginx and followed the composer approach. I read on internet that apache should be run manually not as a service, however I am using nginx instead. Does apache still have any bearing on it? I'm using debian squeeze.
Edit: As per AdrienBrault's suggestion the error was because the timezone was not set in the php.ini. Only with --verbose I could see the warning. Thanks guys.
Apache is not related - PHP is called via command line.
Most likely is the permission in the cache folder: did you check if the user that runs the composer update can actually write the cache folder?
Try to manually run rm -Rf app/cache/dev (for production environment replace dev with prod) and see if you get any permission error.
Also you will get this error if the default.timezone setting is not configured in php when running in CLI. To verify just run
php --info | grep timezone
and check that the setting date.timezone is correctly configured.
On the security side, setting 777 to the folder is not the optimal solution - if you have ACL enabled you could use that to correctly set up the permission for the cache and logs folder. Read more at the Symfony2 official installation page
I had this same issue for a while and after hours of face to brick wall pounding I realized... I have a .gitmodule in my project, and on initial checkout these submodules are NOT initialized and as such are not there for your composer to update, which results in the above error.
Make sure you run the following
git submodule update --init src/Acme/Sadness/Bundle
of course replace src/Acme/Sadness/Bundle with YOUR project namespace.
Hope this helps someone not go through the same pain I just did.
If you have vendor folder already I would remove it and install symfony 2.1.3 again via "composer.phar install". Problem might be coming from outdated version of composer
I had the same problem and I resolve in this way.
execute this on the console
and you should see something like this
$ locate php.ini
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php5/cli/php.ini
/etc/php5/fpm/php.ini
the first line is probably your php.ini that appear when you do a phpinfo();
the problem is that when you execute composer update this no check the same php.ini
in my case the second line
all my sites work fine but always I had problems not now
after edit the second file and put the same time zone that you set in the first one
run
$ sudo service apache2 reload
and now
$ composer update
I hope that this work for you like work for me

So I am a new to doctrine, but I am not able to install a bundle at all. I am following the guide, but the "error" which I am getting is very unusual.
Anyhow, I add this lines into deps file:
[FOSRestBundle]
git=http://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRestBundle.git
target=bundles/FOS/RestBundle
Then I do:
./bin/vendors install
And I get:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/sqlite.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/sqlite.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
Your project seems to be based on a Standard Edition that includes vendors.
Try to run ./bin/vendors install --reinstall
So on this standard way I am not able to install it at all. Can somebody explain me what is the problem, because to me it looks like, the symfony vendors script doesnt recognize changes in deps file at all.
This happens when you've downloaded the Symfony2 Standard Edition from the website. The vendor install script checks to see if the vendor directories are git repositories, and if not, will throw this error. You can fix the situation in one of two ways:
you can either run the command that it suggests: php bin/vendors install --reinstall
or, you can remove the vendors directory, then run php bin/vendors install, which amounts to about the same thing
No need to install that. Just follow the steps in the url : http://mmoreramerino.github.com/GearmanBundle/installation.html
