EDITing

@ wp.app/web/app/themes/timber_s

EITHER

-   require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
+   require_once __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/autoload.php';

OR

-   require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
+   require_once ABSPATH . '../../vendor/autoload.php';

fixes the unfound reference FAIL

wp-cli
    NAME

      wp

    DESCRIPTION

      Manage WordPress through the command-line.

    SYNOPSIS

      wp <command>

    SUBCOMMANDS

      cache                        Adds, removes, fetches, and flushes the WP Object Cache object.
    ...

is that require needed? esp if addressed in child?

e.g., i've

cat web/app/themes/mychild-timber
    ...
    require_once get_stylesheet_directory() . '/inc/timberSetup.php';
    ...

cat web/app/themes/mychild-timber/inc/timberSetup.php
    ...
    $composer_autoload = ABSPATH . '../../vendor/autoload.php';
    if (file_exists($composer_autoload)) {
        require_once $composer_autoload;
        Timber\Timber::init();
    }

    /* Check for Timber load */
    if (!class_exists('Timber')) {
        add_action(
    ...

tbh, @gchtr , i'm, unclear if this is 'just' a timber theme issue, and/or wp-cli

see

"WP-CLI's use of composer is interfering with site's usage of composer"
 https://github.com/wp-cli/wp-cli/issues/4632

seems a clean fix belongs in the theme ... ?

Hello @pgnd 👋🏻 This is a starter theme, a template. It expects you to install dependencies inside it.

If you install it as a dependency just delete line number 8.

[szepeviktor]

BTW I load Composer's autoloader from wp-config. https://github.com/szepeviktor/wordpress-website-lifecycle/blob/f893c9b687ddf0ea1d448714cda2d2362c80d567/wp-config/wp-config.php#L32-L34

This is a starter theme, a template. It expects you to install dependencies inside it.

sure/understood.

it's also the closet thing I've found to a subthemable parent theme that's timber2-ready.

other than this^^ glitch, it works great here in a parent/child steup. ideally , requiring no mods to the parent.

a little logic ... adding multiple search paths, perhaps? ... would be perhaps useful. i don't think it'd break any other functionality (yet)

[Levdbas]

Hi @pgnd , this would require more FS reads and we want to keep that to a minimum. Since this is a starter theme we always recommend people to modify it to their own needs. So we are not going to implement multiple search paths, sorry.
