Problem/Motivation

Someone created an issues relatively.
#4118

And they said that the reason was using the absolute module path.

but, I got this error too, even I don't use the absolute module path.
The module files generate successfully except the composer.json file.
What to do :(

Hi @solody, When you choose the composer option while executing the generate:module command after generating the module, the command send to call the generate:composer command, so it's here when the issue happen to you, because you defined a url in the profiles dir and Drupal Console can't get that path.

We are deciding if the console will have this new feature of recognizing the modules inside the profile dir.

[solody]

Is that means composer.json generating only works while the module path in /modules/custom ?

[solody]

Still got error when I use the default path modules/custom

Hi there - just running into this problem now, 3 months later:
I but only run into this error when I specify dependencies (either went prompted, or with --dependencies="panels".
If you say "no" when prompted, it will work. If you manually add your dependencies to MODULE.info.yml (and composer.json) later, you'll probably be fine - but I haven't tried that yet.

Duplicate of #4118

Proposing to copy path of module when generating composer.json during module generation.
