Compser install/update fails for new twentytwenty theme

[ottok]

Similar to #60, composer has started failing on twentytwenty as it includes dotfiles. Output looks like this:

and in test format:

# composer install

This applies both for composer install and composer update.

Temporary fix is to: rm -rf /data/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/themes/twentytwenty. Make manually sure that htdocs/wordpress/wp-content is a symlink to ../wp-content.

Re-opening this so it is easier to find.

How to fix it

1. This has already been fixed in the project template and thus this issue does not apply to any new projects.
2. This issue only applies to projects using WordPress 5.3 and twentytwenty, so the fix is not required for all old projects
3. In projects where the fix is needed you can simply run:

cd scripts/WordPress/
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Seravo/wordpress/master/scripts/WordPress/Installer.php
git add Installer.php
git commit -m "Update composer install to be compatible with the dotfiles in twentytwenty"
