Composer autoload_namespaces数组为空，但它正在下载我的包

Question

I am using composer on windows, and it is successfully loading my 2 packages that I'm using from my composer.json file when I perform a composer install or composer update.

{
    "require": {
        "bcosca/fatfree": "dev-master",
        "respect/validation": "^1.1"
    }
}

The first line in my index.php is

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

This didn't seem to be loading anything, a lot of errors related to classes not defined from these 2 packages, for example. I looked into it further and discovered that my autoload_namespaces.php is as follows:

<?php

// autoload_namespaces.php @generated by Composer

$vendorDir = dirname(dirname(__FILE__));
$baseDir = dirname($vendorDir);

return array(
);

The array is completely empty, how does this happen? I expected to see these 2 packages' requirements in here...

Thanks for the help!

Adding composer.json from the packages themselves: F3:

    "autoload": {
        "files": ["lib/base.php"]

        }
    },
    "scripts": {
        "test": "./vendor/bin/phpunit"

    }
}

Answer 1

The array is completely empty, how does this happen? I expected to see these 2 packages' requirements in here...

• Composer supports multiple class loading methods. One important implements the PSR4 specification. Symfony and Respect are using PSR4. You can verify it by looking at their composer.json files or your generated vendor/composer/autoload_psr4.php file.

• Fat-Free Framework lets Composer autoload its lib/base.php file. This is important to know because including base.php twice will throw a PHP Fatal error: Cannot declare class Cache, because the name is already in use. The solution is to let Composer do its job and fetch the $f3 = Base::instance() instead.

Suggestions

• Delete the vendor folder and make a clean install with Composer

• Verify that the class namespaces aren't missing (or are imported) in your code, e.g. \Respect\Validation\Validator instead of Validator
