Odd issue occurs in Circle CI

[ateller-pica9]

Hi, hopefully you can help here. I use Sauce labs and CircleCI as continuous integration. I'm having a weird issue, allow me to describe...

When I use composer.json to add "verkkokauppacom/parallel-phpunit": "dev-master"
on my local Ubuntu machine, composer takes care of everything seemingly nice, as I witness that the folder verkkokauppacom/parallel-phpunit/ gets fully-populated with the expected subdirectories (bin, example, tests) and additional files .git, composer.json, and release, and README.md

These files, just FYI, are part of a project that I also track in github, and when I push files to my remote repository, the directory verkkokauppacom/parallel-phpunit/ is empty.

Here is what occurs when composer installs the files:
`Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev) from lock file

• Installing verkkokauppacom/parallel-phpunit (dev-master 84f2cea)
  Cloning 84f2cea

  Skipped installation of bin bin/parallel-phpunit for package verkkokauppacom/parallel-phpunit: name conflicts with an existing file
  Generating autoload files`

If I remove the files from my local machine completely, and then push up the difference to my remote, and tell CircleCI to use composer to get the files, all is good again.

Any ideas?

I assume you mean you are versioning /vendor? If so, the message you are receiving is because the file verkkokauppacom/parallel-phpunit/bin/parallel-phpunit is copied to /vendor/bin/parallel-phpunit. As you already have a file there it skips the copy instead of overwriting.
