Satis with Path Repositories

[designermonkey]

Hi there!

I am trying to get a local copy of Satis running to allow for local package development and I'm running into problems.

Here's an example config:

{
  "name": "micron/datum-libraries",
  "homepage": "http://localhost:8089",
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "path",
      "url": "libraries/datum-application"
    }
  ],
  "require": {
    "datum/application": "@dev"
  },
  "require-all": false,
  "require-dependencies": false,
  "require-dev-dependencies": false,
  "providers": false
}

The libraries folder exists and has the package within it. I can run the build process successfully and all is well inside the packages files that are generated, apart from the paths to the "path" repository, which cause issue later down the road.

So, when I serve this repo over http, and use it in composer, it fails with errors. Here's the config:

{
    "name": "datum-arrange/api",
    "type": "project",
    "config": {
        "secure-http": false,
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "prefer-stable": true,
    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "http://localhost:8089/"
        }
    ],
    "require": {
        "datum/application": "@dev",
        "php": "^8.2"
    }
}

And here is the error on composer install:

In PathDownloader.php line 48:
                                                                                        
  Source path "libraries/datum-application" is not found for package datum/application 

So then, how can we use path repositories for local Satis when they aren't generated correctly to be resolvable outside of the Satis context?

Is this a bug I should log or am I configuring things wrong?

Once I can understand how to resolve this I will be weighing in on the local development package overrides discussions that take place, as I believe that Satis is perfectly suited to help in the scenario, but I'll discuss that later, firstly it needs to be able to handle local path repositories correctly.
