Composer hangs during "install drush dependencies with composer"

[msound]

If the github API limit is reached, then composer will hang during "install drush dependencies with composer". To overcome this, we should set up a github oauth token key in pubstack, either explicity in the config.yml or somehow use the token of the host OS user.

Composer already handles this, but you have to set it up with a token from your Github account: composer config --global github-oauth.github.com <TOKEN>

@cweagans That's what I did. But if you blow up your vagrant and start over, the token is lost, and composer hangs. My point is, pubstack should handle it for you.

@cweagans In /roles/drush/tasks/main.yml

- name: "install drush dependencies with composer"
  shell: >
    composer install
    chdir={{ drush_install_path }}
    creates={{ drush_install_path }}/vendor/autoload.php
  tags: drush

First of all, why are we using "shell" instead of anbsible's built in "composer". And second, can we pass -n option to composer so it works in non-interactive mode. Atleast it will fail, instead of hanging (waiting for user input of their github username/password).
