composer script section os.dependent

Question

Is it possible to check for the current operating system? The following cmd fails on windows, because chmod does not exist

{ ...
  "scripts": {
    "post-update-cmd": "chmod -R 777 ../log"
  }
}

Is there a workaround to solve this ? Kind regards, Robert

Answer 1

Simplest solution is using PHP itself I reckon:

{ ...
  "scripts": {
    "post-update-cmd": "php -r chmod('../log', 0777);"
  }
}

This requires the php binary to be in your PATH (or similar) on Linux/OSX/Windows.

Ps: I can't recall for sure, but I believe path should be relative to where your composer.json is, so you may have to adjust the above path accordingly.
