Why composer install timeouts after 300 seconds?

Question

I have small project made in symfony2 when I try to build it on my server it\'s always fails when unzipping symfony. Build was OK and suddenly composer won\'t unzip symfony

Answer 1

The Symfony Component has process timeout set to 60 by default. That's why you get errors like this:

[Symfony\Component\Process\Exception\ProcessTimedOutException]     
The process "composer update" exceeded the timeout of 60 seconds. 

Solution

Set timeout to 5 minutes or more

$process = new Process("composer update");
$process->setTimeout(300); // 5 minutes
$process->run();
