在TYPO3 8.7 composer中，install将typo3和index.php安装为目录和文件，而不是符号链接。

Question

Problem

In TYPO3 8.7 composer install installs typo3 and index.php as a directory and file instead of as symlinks.

Background

• I wanted to regenerate my vendor directory so did rm -rf vendor/ public/typo3conf/ext/* from a MINGW64 console with Admin privs on my host machine followed by composer install also from the host, not the container.
• I am using DDEV for a local testing environment (which explains why I'm mentioning host/container).
• My host machine is Windows 10 Pro.
• I'm not using typo3/cms but instead requiring every individual package needed like typo3/cms-core , typo3-cms-blahblah .

I found the only way I could fix the problem last time was to wipe the entire project and recreate it and this just isn't the right solution.

Answer 1

This is expected behavior... there is a supposed to be a difference when switching from typo3/cms to explicitly requiring the packages via typo3/cms-* . (Based on a reply from @Matthias Brodala via the #typo3-cms-composer channel in slack).

When using typo3/cms package

From your webroot...

• index.php (symlinks to ../vendor/typo3/cms/index.php )
• typo3 (symlinks to ../vendor/typo3/cms/typo3/ )

When using typo3/cms-* packages

From your webroot...

• index.php (not a symlink)
• typo3 (not a symlink)
