GAE dont run composer after deploy

Question

I develop a simple app for GAE on php. In local env all is ok, but after "gcloud app deploy" a have an error about autoload.php - No such file or directory. I use composer only for autoload my classes - not an external dependences. GAE standard, project without billing

What i do locally:

composer install 
dev_appserver.py app.test.yaml

and aplication is working perfect.

But after deploy:

PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required '/base/data/home/apps/***/vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.;/base/data/home/apps/***/;/base/alloc/tmpfs/dynamic_runtimes/php55_dynamic/fc2f1b4915ea2bca/sdk') in /base/data/home/apps/***/webhook.php on line 8

Line 8:

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

composer.json

{
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "Core\\": "Classes/",
            "Telegram\\": "Classes/Telegram",
            "PushEvent\\": "Classes/PushEvent"
        }
    }
}

So now i delete vendor from .gcloudignore - and app is work on GAE, but this thing make me sad :(

You can explicitly tell GAE to run the composer install or composer dump-autoload.

{
    "scripts": {
        "gcp-build": [
            "composer install"
        ]
    }
}

Tip1: GAE caches the install files, and sometimes you may want to not use it: gcloud beta app deploy --no-cache]

Tip2: I recommend you to change the document root of the application in app.yaml to not expose the vendor dir to the outside world.

runtime_config:
  document_root: public

Directory structure:

src
 - OtherFolder //PSR-4
    - ClassA.php 
public
 - index.php
vendor
 - autoload.php
 - ...
compose.json
app.yaml

The require will have to reference the parent folder

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

And the composer.json only needs one psr4 entry

{
    "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "MyApp\\": "src/"
        }
    }
}
