Composer removes all files on Magento 2.4 in GCP VM

cloud101 2021-02-15 10:41:34 UTC #1

Keywords: Magento - Google Cloud Platform - Technical issue - Upgrade
Description:
If I run sudo composer require <package> and enter my credentials, composer removes all the files in the directory and prints composer.json not found.

Double checked with ls -la and all files are deleted. Tried with 3 instances no luck.

This was done from a new instance on the marketplace.

Extension I was testing: https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_magento2

The how to I used for the error report:

Hello @cloud101,

We have a Support Tool that will gather relevant information for us to analyze your configuration and logs. Could you please execute it on the machine where the stack is running by following the steps described in the guide below?

Please note that you need to paste the code ID that is shown at the end.

I can do that but it is on a new instance from bitnami without any changes. As such you should already have the configuration.

Let me know if you still need this. I feel it is pointless.

Hello @cloud101,

I could not reproduce the issue. I executed these commands:

composer require cloudinary/cloudinary-magento2
sudo php bin/magento maintenance:enable
sudo php bin/magento setup:upgrade
sudo php bin/magento setup:di:compile
sudo php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
sudo php bin/magento maintenance:disable
sudo php bin/magento cache:flush
sudo bin/magento module:status Cloudinary_Cloudinary
        Cloudinary_Cloudinary : Module is enabled

Regards

The only difference is I ran the commands as root user, would that cause it?

Hi @cloud101

I tried the same with as root user and I obtained the same result. However, it is not recommended to run composer as root. Are you running the commands from /opt/bitnami/magento?

Hi,

I browsed to the /opt/bitnami/magento directory and ran the commands as root user.

Hello

It is really weird. Could you try it but running composer without sudo privileges?
