InstalledPackage::$path for metapackages should be NULL

this is probably a problem with getInstalledPackagesList but it could be the FixtureManipulator.

I'm pretty sure it's the former based on the observations I had while working on 📌 Update FixtureManipulator to work with InstalledPackagesList, real composer show command Fixed , but of course we'll need to confirm 👍

Is this really core-mvp though?

yes you are right core-post-mvp

I can confirm that it is not the FixtureManipulator which is causing this problem as you can see in the screen-shot
. So it is composer show() which is causing the problem in getInstalledPackagesList(). I tried debugging it and created a git clone of composer and added a var_dump() in comopser-testing/composer/src/Composer/Command/ShowCommand.php
when $input->getOption('path') is true but I am not able to create a meta package in that git clone.

but I am not able to create a meta package in that git clone.

1. The git clone you mention is of Composer itself, so of course you cannot make a meta package inside that git clone?! 🤔
2. Why can't you create an meta package just like the one that that test created, whose Composer commands you can observe exactly and repeat in any other place? 🤔 That way you'd be able to figure this out completely independently of Package Manager's test suite!

Looks pretty good but a couple MR comments

If the necessary follow-ups existed, this would be RTBC. We need both an upstream Composer issue filed and an issue in our issue queue.
