composer:install won't work if using the composer config

[ttback]

If I want to define a custom location for composer.json and composer cli, I won't be able to just call grunt composer.install after having the custom config in grunt file: It will end up with [InvalidArgumentException] Command "undefined" is not defined.

composer : {
        options : {
            cwd: 'packages/build',
            composerLocation: '/usr/bin/composer'
        },
        install: {
        }
    }

The same here. How we can fix this?

Remove the install part, and run with composer:install and it's fine with me.

If I try to grunt composer:installI get following error:

$ grunt composer:install
Running "composer:install" (composer) task
Verifying property composer.install exists in config...ERROR
>> Unable to process task.
Warning: Required config property "composer.install" missing. Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

Have you configured the path for composer @phjun?

This is what I got

composer: {
            options: {
                usePhp: true,
                phpArgs: {},
                flags: ['no-dev'],
                cwd: 'releases/tmp',
                composerLocation: '/usr/local/bin/composer'
            }
        }

@ngocphamm I've installed composer globally, so it's also accessible via /usr/local/bin/composer

And that's my Gruntfile.js:

module.exports = function(grunt) {

    grunt.initConfig({
        pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
        composer: {
            options: {
                usePhp: true,
                copmposerLocation: '/usr/local/bin/composer'
            },
            update: {
                options: {
                    composerLocation: '/usr/local/bin/composer update'
                }
            }
        },
        watch: {
            scripts: {
                files: 'composer.json',
                tasks: ['composer:update:no-dev']
            }
        }
    })

    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-composer');
    grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');

    grunt.registerTask('default', ['watch'])

}

I've defined an additional composer update task including the composer update command,.. in this way at least the grunt composer:update command is working,... but I'm not sure if this is the right way!?

@phjun if you're still wondering about this, I had the same issue as you, so I did some trial and error as well as grepping the code and this is what I found (in Gruntfile.js):

    composer: {
        options: {
          flags: ['no-dev'],
          cwd: '<%= distPath %>'
        }
    },

If I run this with grunt -v composer:install I get the same error as you: Warning: Required config property "composer.install" missing. Use --force to continue.

I can add an install config property to the composer block:

composer: {
      install: {
        options: {
          flags: ['no-dev'],
          cwd: '<%= distPath %>'
        }
      }
  },

But this gives me another error:

Running "composer:install" (composer) task
Verifying property composer.install exists in config...OK
File: [no files]
Options: flags=["no-dev"], cwd="dist/wp-social-streams"
Options: flags=["no-dev"], cwd="dist/wp-social-streams"

  [InvalidArgumentException]           
  Command "undefined" is not defined.  

Warning: Task "composer:install" failed. Use --force to continue.

However if I use another arbitrary option on the composer block:

    composer: {
      development: {
        options: {
          flags: ['no-dev'],
          cwd: '<%= distPath %>'
        }
      }
    },

grunt -v composer:development:install

Then it runs composer as it should.
