executive installed and all working, web UI now erroring with "The HOME or COMPOSER_HOME environment variable must be set for composer to run correctly"

I'm not sure if this is directly executive related, but it all appears to be working in command line now, but when I try to access the site or the CP - I get the following:

The HOME or COMPOSER_HOME environment variable must be set for composer to run correctly

That's odd. I haven't seen that one before. I also haven't used with EE 5 yet (which I'm looking forward to now that EE 5 is publicly out on GitHub). I'll see if I can replicate as soon as I can.

Can you check the version of Composer you are using? I'm seeing some indication via "the googles" that it may be a composer version bug.

[cwcrawley]

Version 1.7.3.

Yeah - googles seem to point to version issues, but most of them are with issues in the console, where as I have the issue when I HTTP in the browser.

I believe (hope) that beta 6 will address this issue.
