buildComposerProject - failed to open autoload.php

Help

Hello, I’m trying to make a derivation that builds my PHP (Laravel) application.
Here’s the code of one of my attampts:

{ php83 }: php83.buildComposerProject (finalAttrs: {
    pname =  "yota-laravel";
    version = "2.0.0";
    src = ./.;
    php = php83.buildEnv {
        extensions = ( { enabled, all }: enabled );
    };
    composerLock = ./composer.lock;
    vendorHash = "sha256-vYuWiX3YxS6ZZ3ngsYDuR6ydggBBwBG8K+KRBP8UqrA=";
    buildPhase = ''
        php artisan config:cache
        php artisan route:cache
        php artisan view:cache
    '';
})

And here’s the log:

If I remove the buildPhase, the project builds, but I need php artisan commands for the application to actually work when I serve it using Nginx…

the autoload file is likely missing or is in another location maybe because the application is not installed correctly, yet. I would try to use nix-build -K/nix build --keep-failed to dump the /build/ directory to /tmp/ and inspect there further or use debugging commands to inspect the file layout.

You are right, the autoload file is missing, actually the entire vendor directory is missing.
Here’s the structure of the build directory:

/tmp/nix-build-yota-laravel-2.0.0.drv-1/
├── bd7bkkzyplxc172ris1gad3idnc75a5i-source
│   ├── app
│   ├── artisan
│   ├── bootstrap
│   ├── composer.json

The buildComposerProject is a wrapper that builds the vendor (set of external libraries required to build/run), which turns out to be actually the vendor directory in the PHP language.

I don’t know what is artisan doing… (I never wanted to work in a Laravel project so, I really don’t know anything there), but I doubt it’s building something since building a PHP app boils down to build the vendor.

Therefore, I would remove the custom buildPhase and try again.

Give us some feedback and feel free to join the Matrix Nixos/PHP room at https://matrix.to/#/#php:nixos.org

If I build the derivation without my custom buildPhase, I can use result and successfully run php artisan commands. The thing is I want the derivation to do it for me since I plan to use it in my server configuration.

Thanks, I’ll join :smiley:

OK, then try to run these commands in a postInstall hook perhaps?
