Typo here: cofmposer should be composer.
And I like using the require command for this:
$ php composer.phar require doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle:@dev
This will update this dependency and add it to the list of requirements in the composer.json file (as well in the composer.lock file)

And actually, it does exactly the 2 steps defined here (plus some validation on what you write in the requirement)

Many bundles and packages suggest modification of composer.json and:
composer update
My intention was to give a hint, that one should avoid updating everything.
The method:
php composer.phar require doctrine/doctrine-fixtures-bundle:@dev
is simpler.

@gajdaw I think it is better to say 'Hey, they say you need to do it that way, but that can cause problems, this is much easier'.

Hey Włodzimierz! This is a great addition to this note, and a common-enough need that I like mentioning it (even if it is a Composer things). Thanks! |
