I’m try using CakePHP for the first time with composer, but I have some problems.
I have this composer.json
:
{ "name": "example.com.br", "repositories": [ { "type": "pear", "url": "http://pear.cakephp.org" } ], "config": { "vendor-dir": "Vendor/" }, "require": { "php": ">=5.4", "pear-cakephp/cakephp": ">=2.4.3", "cakephp/debug_kit": "2.2.*", "smottt/wideimage": "dev-master" }, "extra": { "installer-paths": { "app/Plugin/DebugKit": ["cakephp/debug_kit"], "app/Vendor/Wideimage": ["smottt/wideimage"] } } }
When I run composer install (or update) --prefer-dist
, everything works except smottt/wideimage
.
This package is being installed in the /Vendor
folder instead /app/Vendor
, so, installer-paths was ignored.

Answer
From the documentation.
You cannot use this to change the path of any package. This is only applicable to packages that require composer/installers and use a custom type that it handles.
From one of the packages you’re installing:
{ "name": "smottt/wideimage", "description": "An open-source PHP library for image manipulation. (With namespaces, PHP 5.3+)", "homepage": "http://wideimage.sourceforge.net", "type": "library", "license": ["GPL-2.0","LGPL-2.1"], "version": "11.02.19", "autoload": { "psr-0" : { "WideImage" : "lib/" } } }
So basically the package you’re trying to install doesn’t support custom install paths.
