Why is PHP Composer so slow when all I do is init a project with zero dependencies? Here are the commands I run:
composer init
<step through composer.json creation, define 0 zero dependencies>
composer install
Wait 3 minutes (not an exaggeration).
All composer has to do is pull in an autoloader and create /vendor
, so why does it take so long? For that matter, why doesn't that step happen on composer init
?
Is there a configuration option I can use to pull in a cached autloader and vendor upon init
?
Also, disable Xdebug. Xdebug can cause Composer to take minutes even when running a command as simple as composer --version
.
