InvalidArgumentException when installing through composer

[Francesco Marino]

My question:

I'm having an issue while installing php-resque on a machine through composer. The only error message that is thrown is:

[InvalidArgumentException]                                                                  
  $from (/path/to/my/project/vendor/bin/resque) and $to () must be absolute paths.

Also, if I remove resque/php-resque from composer.json, all the other dependecies are correctly installed.

My Environment

• PHP-Resque version: 1.3.3
• PHP version: 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.29 (cli) (built: Apr 22 2019 18:33:52)
• Composer version: 1.8.5 2019-04-09 17:46:47
• Operating System and version: Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS

This is certainly odd. I've never seen this particular error before. It looks like something is broken within Composer itself, though, since we only tell it (in composer.json) what files to link into vendor/bin relative to the package itself. Are you still experiencing this one?
