Question
New Symfony 3 installation: Could not open input file: app/console in composer install

Asked by how3
I installed a fresh symfony3-instance via the official symfony-installer (http://symfony.com/download). After doing the first things, I commited the project to Git and cloned it the other day on another computer. After the cloning I ran “composer install” to install all the symfony-dependencies. Now comes the problem: The script ScriptHandler::clearCache stops with an error: Could not open input file: app/console. Thats right - symfony3 has a new directory-structure - so the console resides now in /bin - not in /app. How can I tell composer/the project to use the new structure instead of the old one?

Just create var directory. After that composer install and composer update will work ok.
Explanation:
So you need both to have symfony-var-dir in composer.json’s extra and have this directory existing.
