Drupal and Composer install or update
Using composer and drupal, even d7, is great. But an update or install can leave you with a broken drupal registry.
So here is a workflow that is pretty bullet proof.
In this example drupal’s composer folder where composer.json lives is located in /var/www/drupal/sites/default/files/composer
So in there is composer.json and composer.lock
So when you need to install a new composer library and you updated your json file you can run
cd /var/www/drupal/
drush composer-rebuild-file
composer --working-dir=/var/www/drupal/sites/default/files/composer update
If you get an broken registry issue the typically happens when you run
drush composer-manager update
You can clear that up with
drush rr
And then use composer directly as I did above to update/install your composer related files.
