cakephp - Cake PHP 3 plugin's controller not visible -

i moved working plugin /plugins/pluginname directory /vendor/myname/pluginname

url on call plugin controller

http://domain.local/pluginname/index

before moving first directory another, plugin working expected. moved plugin new directory make reusable other cake php apps.

plugin installed composer.

why have message

"error: controller class index not found.". controllers plugin not visible on app, throws same error. error thrown line 79 file \vendor\cakephp\cakephp\src\routing\dispatcher.php

in main bootstrap.php file put line:

plugin::load('myname/pluginname', ['bootstrap' => false, 'routes' => true]);

why plugin in vendor directory not working in case?

if plugin installed composer, not move it.

whether installed @ plugin or vendor folder determined author of plugin.

if need load plugin in bootstrap, use

plugin::load('pluginname', ['bootstrap' => false, 'routes' => true]); 

see http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/plugins.html#plugin-configuration

it work regardless if composer places in vendor or plugins folder.

most importantly, leave in folder author intended in.

lastly, check plugin suitable cakephp 3.x

as url, should expect use /plugin-name/controller/action

see http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/plugins.html#plugin-controllers , quote
