Questions about setting up my phergie development environment

phergie-install.md

I began plugin development at the hackathon at PHPTek, and I installed my phergie environment using a tarred up thing. But I'm not having some problems running phergie locally. I cannot seem to figure it out, so here is a foundational bit that I cannot get from the documentation.

Should I composer install from the composer.json file on the readme?

{
    "require": {
        "phergie/phergie-irc-bot-react": "^1.3"
    }
}

If so, where do I put my plugin? If I try to include it in the composer.json file, nothing is being installed.

{
    "require": {
        "phergie/phergie-irc-bot-react": "^1.3",
        "phergie/phergie-irc-plugin-react-tableflip": "^1.0"
    }
}

This is what is actually installed:

##So where does my plugin code belong?

It looks like your plugin is requiring itself? Beyond that, the plugin composer.json file looks fine.

For your local bot instance, this looks like a reasonable composer.json file for that, as you showed above:

{
    "require": {
        "phergie/phergie-irc-bot-react": "^1.3",
        "phergie/phergie-irc-plugin-react-tableflip": "^1.0"
    }
}

From the directory containing that composer.json file, you should be able to run composer install and then run ./vendor/bin/phergie config.php from the same directory.

What I was saying is the documentation says to require the bot, but then HOW do i add my plugin? When I do it the way shown in the second example, it doesn't install anything. But with a composer.json file that looks like the first one, I do not have a /vendor/bin/phergie there is no bin at all.

{
"require": {
    "phergie/phergie-irc-bot-react": "^1.3",
    "phergie/phergie-irc-plugin-react-tableflip": "dev-master"
},
"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "vcs",
        "url": "https://github.com/elstamey/phergie-irc-plugin-react-tableflip"
    }
]
}
