Installing WordPress plugins via composer? Worried about the trepidations of installing plugins and there being clashes between any dependencies and your own?

> Don't know what I'm on about? This post does a good job of explaining

What this will do
-----------------

[](#what-this-will-do)

This is a composer plugin that will inspect the wordpress plugins you are installing with composer and yell if it spots anything that could mean you're in for a world of pain.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer req jenko/wp-plugin-trouble-detector --dev`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Composer install as usual, if any package has anything to be concerned about, you will see yellow warnings in the output.

What it yells about
-------------------

[](#what-it-yells-about)

- Plugin has a committed `vendor` directory
- Plugin has third party dependencies which clash with yours (includes support for wpackagist plugins)
- Plugin has third party dependencies which clash with dependencies of pre-existing plugins.

Troubleshooting
---------------

[](#troubleshooting)

It should 'just work' but if for whatever reason it doesn't you may need to add the following to your `scripts` section of `composer.json`

```
    "scripts": {
        "post-package-install": [
            "Jenko\\WpPluginTroubleDetector\\Plugin::onPostPackageInstall"
        ]
    }
```
