Then when accessing /public in the web browser, the fatal error is:

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'C:\Ampps\www\learninglocker\bootstrap/../vendor/autoload.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in C:\Ampps\www\learninglocker\bootstrap\autoload.php on line 17

I have looked and there is no autoload.php file in the /vendor/ directory, presumably because that was what didn't get downloaded in the composer install.

Hi @cwarwicker, thanks for reporting this issue and using our template. I have heard of this issue in our chat room. I think this will be resolved by #637 but ultimately this is an issue with Composer.

[cwarwicker]

Ok. Is there a workaround I can use for the time being? Is it just that one autoloader file being missing causing the problem? If so, can I just get that 1 file from somewhere?

Cheers

I'm not too sure because I've not been able to reproduce the issue. I'd take this issue up with Composer.

[cwarwicker]

Ok. I've found they have an issue open about it:

composer/composer#4030

[ryasmi]

Nice, thank you for the update 👍

@cwarwicker thanks for linking to that issue. I didn't realise that our Composer lock file had become outdated. This should be fixed in #639. It'll be merged into the develop branch and released with v1.4.2 today.
