Where to find composer's global packages?

php sublimetext2 composer-php sublimetext

For a plugin for Sublime Text I was required to install a composer package globally.

In order to do this I had to run the following command:

composer global require "asm89/twig-lint" "@stable"

The installation started running and a few seconds later the package was installed. Voila! Well, not really.

Step two was to add some lines to my Sublime Text configuration file:

{
    "user": {
        "paths": {
            "windows": ["C:\\Users\\yourname\\.composer\\vendor\\bin"]
        },
    }
}

However, the plugin is not working. So I decided to check the path. And it appears there is no .composer directory in my profile directory. It isn't in my php directory either. And I can't find it anywhere.

I would like to know if there's a way to locate this directory and would appreciate any suggestions that can help me get this plugin to work.

You can query Composer to find where it has set the user $COMPOSER_HOME directory.

composer config --list --global

The '[home]' line refers to the default value of $COMPOSER_HOME.

Just as a final confirmation - the 'yourname' part in the configuration, would very likely need to be updated with your own Windows username - composer config will say where it put the files.
