1. Building composer failed in the GitLab CI/CD Pipelines. See Figure 1.
$ php artisan key:generate
In DatabaseServiceProvider.php line 88:
Class 'Faker\Factory' not found
Cleaning up file based variables
ERROR: Job failed: command terminated with exit code 1
2. I searched for Class ‘Faker\Factory’ in the local environment and confirmed that /vendor/fzaninotto/faker/src/Faker/Factory.php exists. Running `php artisan key:generate` in the local environment succeeded. See Figure 2.
PS E:\wwwroot\object> php artisan key:generate
Application key set successfully.
3. I checked the logs in gitlab-runner: `if [ ! -x “vendor” ];then echo ‘vendor not exists’; composer self-update 2.1.14; composer install –prefer-dist –no-ansi –no-interaction –no-progress –no-scripts –no-dev; else echo ‘vendor exists’; fi`. See Figure 3.
$ if [ ! -x "vendor" ];then echo 'vendor not exists'; composer self-update 2.1.14; composer install --prefer-dist --no-ansi --no-interaction --no-progress --no-scripts --no-dev; else echo 'vendor exists'; fi
vendor not exists
You are already using the latest available Composer version 2.1.14 (stable channel).

4. I ran `composer install –prefer-dist –no-ansi –no-interaction –no-progress –no-scripts –no-dev` in the local environment, and then ran `php artisan key:generate`. It threw an error: In Application.php line 679: Class ‘Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider’ not found. The reason should be a difference in configuration between the local and production environments.
PS E:\wwwroot\object> php artisan key:generate
In Application.php line 679:
Class 'Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider' not found
5. I ran `composer install –prefer-dist –no-ansi –no-interaction –no-progress –no-scripts` in the local environment, and then ran `php artisan key:generate`. No error occurred this time. This confirmed that the pipeline failure was caused by adding the `–no-dev` option. `–no-dev`: skips packages listed in the require-dev section. In the require-dev configuration of composer.json, there is `”fzaninotto/faker”: “^1.4″`.
"require-dev": {
"fzaninotto/faker": "^1.4",
},
6. I moved `”fzaninotto/faker”: “^1.4″` from the require-dev configuration to the require configuration. The error no longer occurred.
