Solved - "Skipped installation of bin phpunit for package phpunit/phpunit: file not found in package"

April 16, 2017 | Category : Laravel 5 Laravel

Yesterday, i was working on my laravel application and when i require to create new clean fresh laravel repository then i run bellow command for getting new fresh laravel project:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

But, when installing vendor package i found bellow error regrading of phpunit.

"Skipped installation of bin phpunit for package phpunit/phpunit: file not found in package"

and i found error with red color background :

"Could not scan for classes inside "/blog/vendor/phpunit/php

-code-coverage/src/" which does not appear to be a file nor a folder"

I tried to again composer install but same error come always, i tried again with composer update but same result. I also search on google but i can't solve this error. At last i checked all package installation and i found solution of this error. This error come because of cache packages issue. So i clear composer cache first by using following command:

composer clearcache

After this i run again bellow command and i solved my problem.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

If you have then try this one.
