bin/console missing after running composer install

Question

Hoping someone could help me out with this one please.

My project (on github https://github.com/irvingswiftj/iceMarkt ) when running composer install, seems to run without a hitch, until running the post update commands. In which I end up with the following error (when adding param -vvv):

    Updating the "app/config/parameters.yml" file
    Could not open input file: bin/console
    Script Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler::clearCache handling the post-update-cmd event terminated with an exception

    [RuntimeException]                                                         
    An error occurred when executing the "'cache:clear --no-warmup'" command.  

If I now browse my project directory, I can see that bin/console is never created!

Answer 1

I had deleted the bin directory assuming that the executable console file would be created in my next composer install. I was wrong! Don't gitignore your bin/composer file and also make sure that if you are using the symfony 3 folder structure, you don't have .gitignore for the symfony 2 folder structure.
