How do I run a Symfony Console command after composer install?

Question

My composer.json contains the following declaration:

    "post-install-cmd": [
        "Incenteev\\ParameterHandler\\ScriptHandler::buildParameters",
        "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::buildBootstrap",
        "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::clearCache",
        "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installAssets",
        "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installRequirementsFile"
    ],

I want to run a custom console command that I have in src/MyBundle/Command/MyCommand.php. How do I add this to the scripts to run in composer?

You can see how the postinstall hook work for the Sensio DistributionBundle.

As example, this is how you can call the Hello World command of the Acme Demo bundle:

ScriptHandler

<?php

namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Composer;

use Composer\Script\CommandEvent;

class ScriptHandler extends \Sensio\Bundle\DistributionBundle\Composer\ScriptHandler {


    /**
     * Call the demo command of the Acme Demo Bundle.
     *
     * @param $event CommandEvent A instance
     */
    public static function helloWorld(CommandEvent $event)
    {
        $options = self::getOptions($event);
        $consoleDir = self::getConsoleDir($event, 'hello world');

        if (null === $consoleDir) {
            return;
        }

//        $extraParam = '';
//        if (!$options['who']) {
//            $extraParam = ' --who';
//        }

        static::executeCommand($event, $consoleDir, 'acme:hello', $options['process-timeout']);
    }

}

You can manage extra param in the json file itself.

composer.json

"post-install-cmd": [
    "Incenteev\\ParameterHandler\\ScriptHandler::buildParameters",
    "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::buildBootstrap",
    "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::clearCache",
    "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installAssets",
    "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installRequirementsFile",
    "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::removeSymfonyStandardFiles",
    "Acme\\DemoBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::helloWorld"
],

Tested

I extend the ScriptHandler class of the sensio-distribution bundle of version:

sensio/distribution-bundle (v3.0.18)

hope this help
