The command "COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS=1 composer install" failed error when running laravel vapor deploy

I'm developing an application using the latest Laravel 7 along with deploying to AWS using Vapor. I'm on Windows 10 environment.

When running the following command to deploy to staging vendor/bin/vapor deploy I get the following error.

In Process.php line 252:

  The command "COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS=1 composer install" failed.

  Exit Code: 1(General error)

  Working directory: C:\Users\Matthew Wallace\Development\web\615ioDemos/.vap
  or/build/app

  Output:
  ================


  Error Output:
  ================
  'COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS' is not recognized as an internal or external c
  ommand,
  operable program or batch file.

Following line causes the issue:

'COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS=1 composer install --no-dev'

It's a script that can run on bash. It basically sets an environment variable, then calls composer with some options and parameters. If your operating system is Windows, you will need the counterpart syntax in cmd, which can be as follows:

'set COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS=1 & composer install --no-dev'

As our team also face this issue, and we need to use in multiple projects, we made a command that is accessible in a package. Just install and do simple setup will do

https://packagist.org/packages/stephenkhoo/laravel-vapor-deploy-helper

composer require stephenkhoo/laravel-vapor-deploy-helper

Update your vapor.yml from

build:
    - 'COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS=1 composer install --no-dev'

to

build:
    - 'php artisan build:composer-mirror'
    - 'composer install --no-dev'

The answer above is just partly a fix. (answ by @mattwallace)

The whole story:

  1. Remove COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS=1 in vapor.yml
  2. Add in composer.json under config: "COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS": true

More details:

You'll probably run into problems while attaching a database to your app while working on Win (at least I did :P).

The issue is with the strategy of resolving paths. By default the strategy is set to "symlink" - I assume the more appropriate way would be to set this to "mirror", as we build the project locally and move the content on a different host (filesystem structure etc.).

The error above is just the terminal/powershell not knowing how to handle the first param in the command line - COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS - it still needs to be set up.

More about the param here.

In the docs you can find:

You can set a number of environment variables that override certain settings. Whenever possible it is recommended to specify these settings in the config section of composer.json instead.

There you go:

"config": {
    "optimize-autoloader": true,
    "preferred-install": "dist",
    "sort-packages": true,
    "COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS": true
},

The solution for this problem was to open the vapor.yml and modify the composer install lines in the build: sections for staging and production by removing 'COMPOSER_MIRROR_PATH_REPOS=1'

This is what my build section looks like now.

build:
    - 'composer install'
    - 'php artisan event:cache'
    - 'npm ci && npm run dev && rm -rf node_modules'
