Autoloaded classes are no longer available in deploy.php

[Bilge]

• Deployer version: v7.0.0-rc.8
• Deployment OS: Windows

Since vendor/bin/dep became vendor/bin/deployer.phar, it is no longer possible to use non-Deployer classes in deploy.php.

The autoloader must be manually required with (require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'). There is no note about this regression in the UPGRADE.md.

Note

Deployer v8 now is released and uses normal autoload.php composer path. So the issues should be fixed in Deployer v8.

Probably this should be fixed in bon/php and also include correct autoload.php as well.

I have a custom composer package "refsz/deployer". One of its dependencies is "deployer/deployer". With this package I extend Deployer with custom functions and manage my recipes there. For deployment I install this package globally in the pipeline. Since this change I have the same problems as @Bilge .

But since I install the package globally I had to require the global autoload.php in my deploy.php.
require_once dirname(DEPLOYER_BIN) . '/../../autoload.php';

Same thing as @refsz I added this to my deploy.php as I have a custom package with recipes in it.

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

Seems to be working around the encapsulation.

I wonder why it can't still be dep instead of deployer.phar though, I like that it's explicit to what it is but it feels like an unnecessary workflow break, but I could be wrong. Maybe there is a way to symlink in vendor/bin/dep -> vendor/bin/deployer.phar? The bash alias in the docs is not my favourite as it's implicit relative execution if you know what I mean, not a big deal just griping about change.

[Bilge]

Pretty sure I said that, but credit where credit's due, right?

[joelpittet]

@Bilge sorry, I really meant to the custom composer package part of refsz's comment but really doesn't matter we all have the same problem and workaround. Thanks for suggesting the workaround @Bilge!

[antonmedv]

I’m going to bring back source code and phar as dep bin.

[joelpittet]

Thanks @antonmedv that will help with transitioning my team! Almost ready to make the switch to 7! Also encouraging numbers I saw when testing them 6 took my deploy 2m 7s and 7 took 1m 27s!

[Bilge]

This still isn't fixed in v7.0.2 using vendor/bin/dep. If I remove require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; from deploy.php, then I get class not found errors again.

I guess exactly this is the necessary fix and makes sense.

Deployer v8 now is releases and uses normal autoload.php composer path. So the issues should be fixed in Deployer v8.
