Php artisan optimize is failing on production server

Question

Running composer install on a production server via a bash script is failing at post-install-cmd php artisan optimize with the error There are no commands defined in the "jwt" namespace.

To try to resolve the issue I added the following commands before php artisan optimize

"php artisan clear-compiled", "php artisan cache:clear", "php artisan config:clear", "php artisan config:cache",

Running composer install locally works fine. I can run the commands through a script locally without a problem.

The failure is happening while running composer install through a script on the production server. If I log onto the server and run the commands manually I do not generate the error.

Not sure how to debug, any ideas?

Answer 1

Try adding a pre-install event inside of your composer.json file on the server, note that this event works only if your composer.lock is present and you ran composer install:

"scripts": {
    "pre-install-cmd": [
        "php artisan config:clear"
    ],
...
}
