laravel file size 1.85gb

@jlrdw I have just created the project; it's a fresh one. I am just starting to develop a new app. Could it be an issue with Laravel 10?

@Snapey I just created a new Laravel project. I am just starting to develop a new app. Maybe this issue is from Laravel 10?

@ecarl No

check the size of the npm_modules folder

@Snapey I couldn't find my npm_modules folder. However, I checked my vendor folder and found it to be 1.84 GB in size. Under the vendor folder, this is the top folder with a large file size.

• sebastian folder = 975MB
• phpunit folder = 466MB
• laravel folder = 234MB

I was curious how it grew to be so big given that it is a fresh Laravel project.

That's strange, on a fresh installation of Laravel 10 with composer create-project I have a vendor folder of 47,5mo. What tool did you use to install Laravel ?

@ecarl i did it and now my project exceeded even 2gb

@aralvi143 delete the vendor folder and run composer install

@Snapey I'm encountering a persistent issue with my vendor folder, which has ballooned to 2.09GB in size for a new project. I initiated the project using the command 'composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app.' Despite reinstalling Composer, the problem persists. I've attempted to resolve it by deleting the vendor folder and running 'composer install' again, but the process still takes an excessive amount of time and downloads 2.09GB of data.

Yes, now it worked! After running the commands 'composer clear-cache' and 'composer config preferred-install dist,' I encountered an error for each dependency, prompting me to enable the .zip extension in the php.ini file. Once I enabled it, everything worked perfectly fine. Thanks for your guidance!

@gouravjoshi Hey I'm having this issue too for some reason my vendor file 2.12gb making my project 2.17gb even though its a really simple and small project, I tried using 'composer clear-cache' and 'composer config preferred-install dist' but it did not resolve the issue , do you have any other tips on this? Please let me know as soon as possible

@Sgk Just a guess here but make sure that you have all the correct extensions installed and enabled on your maching.

@gouravjoshi It worked! As I freshly installed my Xampp, the "zip" extension was disabled. After enabling and running command 'composer clear-cache' it worked. Thank You.

@Sgk Make sure that you have the correct extensions enabled in ur php.ini, I didn't have the zip extenstion and after enabling it and deleting the vendor folder and running "composer install" I went from 2.5Gb to 50mb.

@Tito28 Should be under 100mb

Make sure you have the php zip extension installed

@blpcsolutions Not GB large
