Use composer update:lock without composer install

[rotemreiss]

Hi,

Found this repo via thom8/faas-composer#4 and it is great for our CI!
My main goal was to improve the update performance by disabling the actual files download, and as for today it was improved by ~90% (~11 minutes to ~1 minute!!) by using composer install and composer update:lock, but I'm wondering if there's a way to run composer update:lock without first running composer install and somehow still make it recognize the new command.

Thanks.

I haven't tried this, but see if composer global require g1a/composer-test-scenarios --no-dev works out. In theory, that will allow composer update:lock to be available across all projects.

I should probably separate composer update:lock into a separate plugin so that you do not need to be burdened with a global composer-test-scenarios, which may or may not cause a problem.
