Could not find autoload file - drupal-composer/drupal-project (solved)

[star-szr]

Just posting in case it can help someone else.

How is drupal-check installed?

• drupal-check is installed using the phar
• drupal-check is installed globally via Composer
• drupal-check is installed globally using consolidation/cgr
• drupal-check is installed as a dependency to my project

I tested both phar and cgr methods, uninstalling in between.

Environment:

• OS: macOS
• PHP Version: 7.2.27
• Drupal core: 8.8.1

Describe the bug

This project is based on a modified version of https://github.com/drupal-composer/drupal-project

drupal-check seems to be having trouble finding the vendor directory.

Relative to my CWD, the docroot is at ./web and vendor is at ./vendor

The ./web/vendor directory doesn't exist.

Console output

drupal-check -vvv web/modules/custom

Current working directory: /Users/Me/Sites/foo.localhost
Using Drupal root: /Users/Me/Sites/foo.localhost/web
Using vendor root: /Users/Me/Sites/foo.localhost/web/vendor
Could not find autoload file.

Solution

In this case, the culprit was a stray and empty composer.json in the Drupal root. After deleting ./web/composer.json, drupal-check works as expected.
