Can't get composer “path” repository to work

Question

I have a directory structure like so:

composer.json < Main
  packages/
    balunker/
      testpackage/
        composer.json < Package
        src/
           


        

Answer 1

What worked for me was very similar to the above, but I had to specifically target the branch I was developing on.

Assuming code in directory /newapp on the same level as /app, and a branch named feature/the-new-package:

"repositories": [
  {
    "type": "path",
    "url": "newapp"
  }
],
"require": {
  "package/newapp": "dev-feature/the-new-package"
},

\* did not work, neither did dev-master. It had to be dev-feature/the-new-package.
