dirname() expects parameter 1 to be string

[mariacdadalt]

Describe the bug When so start fails, every so command returns an error.

To Reproduce 1) edit the composer.json of the project and make a mistake, for instance, forget a comma in the required list. 2) so start 3) fix the composer.json 4) try running so composer update, so restart or so stop

Expected behavior Be able to run the commands after fixing the mistake in the composer file.

Actual behavior The error:

In Config.php line 108:

  dirname() expects parameter 1 to be string, bool given  

System Configuration:

• OS: Windows. Running so in WSL2 - Ubuntu
• PHP Version 7.4.24

Additional context When running the so start I get the following error:

  [Seld\JsonLint\ParsingException]                                  
  "./composer.json" does not contain valid JSON                     
  Parse error on line 103:

  --------------------^                                             
  Expected: 'STRING' - It appears you have an extra trailing comma  

• I can run so just fine, receiving the list of available commands.

@mariacdadalt this error is just passed through from composer itself.

Try bypassing so with so shell and run composer directly from the container.

Ahh I see it also throws and error in so itself.

Closing this, unable to reproduce and haven't had any other reports and have to assume this was a trailing comma in the composer.json it was being run on.
