[ProGet] Composer feed: package metadata is missing vendor binaries

[matthias.reitinger_3646]

Hi there,

I'm using ProGet to host a Composer feed and I've run into a problem when using packages that provide vendor binaries like PHPStan.

The package metadata ProGet delivers at [FEED]/p2/phpstan/phpstan.json is missing the "bin" key that defines the vendor binaries.

That means that Composer will not create links to these binaries in vendor/bin, and calling them using e.g. vendor/bin/phpstan does not work.

I made sure that the composer.json in the imported package contains the "bin" key. It also doesn't matter if I add the package through the browser or via the drop path of the feed.

Thank you for your time.

Hi @matthias-reitinger_3646,

Good catch and thanks for sending over an example! I took a quick look and you are correct that bin was not included in the metadata for that package. I have created a ticket, PG-3000, to track the fix for this. Unfortunately it is too late to get this fixed in today's ProGet release, but it should be fixed in the next maintenance release of ProGet, 2024.39, which is expected in two weeks.

Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich,

I really appreciate you looking into it and confirming the issue so quickly. It's great to know a ticket is already in the works. I'll keep an eye out for the fix in ProGet 2024.39.

Thanks again for your help!

I finally had a chance to try out ProGet 2024.39 and can confirm that the package metadata now contains the bin key. Thanks again!
