cloudControl push rejected: cannot stat file

Question

I'm trying to push my application to cloudControl but it doesn't seem to be running the build process properly and keeps rejecting my push.

Here is the error:

C:\Users\Vincent\Documents\GitHub\***>cctrlapp *** push

Right now my project contains these files:

• /
  • includes/
    • vendor/
  • .gitignore
  • composer.json
  • composer.lock
  • index.php

How do I get the post-receive hook to properly "compile" the PHP app?

This is my composer.json file:

{
    "name": "Hello World",
    "description": "My PHP application",
    "authors": [
        {
            "name": "Vincent",
            "email": " ... @gmail.com"
        }
    ],
    "config": {
        "vendor-dir": "includes/vendor"
    },
    "require": {
        "zendframework/zend-escaper": "2.2.6",
        "respect/validation": "~0.6.1",
        "slim/slim": "~2.4.3",
        "zf1/zend-session": "1.12.8"
    }
}

There are three likely issues here:

• The directory is empty. Git does not track empty directories so even if it does exist in your working directory it does not exist in the repository.
• The directory is not empty, but ignored using a .gitignore.
• Composer is not looking for the vendor directoy in the right place. /srv/tmp/builddir/code/vendor would mean it would have to exist in /vendor yours is in /includes/vendor.

It might actually be a combination of any of the above. To be able to tell I'd need the contents of the .gitignore and the composer.json. If I had to bet, my money would be on the last option.

To fix the empty directory issue, make sure your /.gitignore file does not include the /includes/vendor in any way. Then create a /includes/vendor/.gitignore file with the following content:

# Ignore everything in this directory
*
# Except this file
!.gitignore

To fix the latest, check your composer.json and the 'target-dir' set there. Refer to the Composer documentation for more details.
