Composer scripts no longer running

So our websites we have composer set, And after it has got the packages we run some commands. 

"scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": [
        "php -r \"shell_exec('cp -rf sourcefiles/. source/.');\"",
        "php -r \"shell_exec('rm -rf sourcefiles');\""
    ]
}

These run find with version 2016-02-24_11-44-07-45f6b37

But when I run the self updater to get the latest version it brakes the code and no longer works, even though nothing has changed.

This is a cause for concern as it means we can no longer update our composer. Any idea why is has broke are we doing something wrong?

Many Thanks.

Someone on github told the the problem,

So only run the script on "post-install-cmd" this works pre 1.0 now you need to run the scripts on "post-install-cmd" and "post-update-cmd" if a lock file exists it runs the update command.

So the code now looks like this:

"scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": [
        "cp -rf sourcefiles/. source/.", 
        "rm -rf sourcefiles"
    ],
    "post-update-cmd": [
        "cp -rf sourcefiles/. source/.", 
        "rm -rf sourcefiles"
    ]
}

Thank you for helping remove the PHP dependency

The funny thing about your scripts is: The real shell command is cp -rf sourcefiles/. source/., and you are wrapping this into a call to the PHP function shell_exec(), and because this function cannot be called without the help of PHP, you pass this source code to PHP on the shell.

Alternative script suggestion:

"scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": [
        "cp -rf sourcefiles/. source/.",
        "rm -rf sourcefiles"
    ]
}

However, you have to provide more details on the error, any message you get etc.
