Can't use 'composer install' with missing composer.lock and vendor folder [#2579663]

Problem/Motivation

Error when running composer install or composer update when vendor and composer.lock and not present. Our composer scripts should not break when vendor and the lock file are not there.

Proposed resolution

Use Composer internals to verify that the packages are present before optimizing their classmap.

Steps to reproduce

Delete vendor and composer.lock
Run composer install or composer update

Error output

Getting the same issue here. composer update works fine, but composer install fails.

Maybe we need to simply update the dependencies shipped with Drupal 8.

The installation works fine without "pre-autoload-dump": "Drupal\\Core\\Composer\\Composer::preAutoloadDump".

ok, so it looks like the merge plugin is calling pre-autoload-dump too early, or the merge plugin is run too late, because symfony/http-foundation is added from drupal/core via the merge plugin, but it's needed or the pre-autoload-dump script.

Here is a working patch until we figure it out upstream.

I looked at composers documentation again and think #7 is the right fix.

From the docs: pre-autoload-dump: occurs before the autoloader is dumped, either during install/update, or via the dump-autoload command., https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/scripts.md#installer-events

It's not an upstream problem. :-)

We can do it without file_exists().

This is behavior we only want for the drupal/core package, so we check if that's the package before proceeding. (Leaving aside the issue of managing classmaps for another package...)

We really should do this for all our script additions.

Same steps to for manual testing:

Apply the patch.
rm -rf vendor
rm composer.lock
composer install

Spoke too soon. The classmap didn't make it to vendor/composer/autoload_classmap.php.

Here's a version where we query the local repository before adding to the classmap.

Note that we can safely remove the scripts section from core/composer.json since the merge process discards it, but I didn't change it in this patch.

See #9 for how to manually test.

It's a lot easier to verify the classmap file if you say composer install --no-dev :-)

Discussed with @catch and we agree that this is an RC target. However, the issue summary is confusing because it is incorrect.

Note: composer update works, but brings in newer dependencies.

composer update does not bring in newer dependencies if you delete the composer.lock file. It brings in exactly the same dependencies. Also if I remove both composer.lock and vendor composer update does not work.
