Cache behat in .moodle-sdk
I run a lot of feature instances when I'm working on a particular issue. I also run instances for {i,s{m,25,24}} so at any one time I have at least 6 instances and generally about double that.
When I want to run behat, on one or all of these and it's out of date, I have to update behat for each instance which takes yonks.
Can we cache the latest version of the vendor directory perhaps and rsync each module in place before a run (should be pretty fast)?
The only problem with rsyncing the vendor directory is that you still need to make sure it has the right version according to composer.json. I think it's much safer to re-do it on each install. Beside once it's done it doesn't need to be done any more. The other thing is that the vendor directory contains other things than behat stuff.
It's okay - we can use the built-in composer functionality: http://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#composer-cache-dir
