How to run composer update command after code deploy on aws

Question

I have setup Code Deploy service on aws and It's working great, but what I want is to run composer update command after deploying.

I have defined composer update command in AfterInstall hook, but It doesn't seem to work.

Here's my appspec.yml

version: 0.0
os: linux
files:
  - source: /
    destination: /var/www/laravel/
hooks:
  AfterInstall:
    - location: hooks/after-install.sh
      runas: root

and here's the after-install.sh file code:

#!/bin/bash

php /var/www/laravel/artisan clear-compiled
php /var/www/laravel/artisan optimize
php /var/www/laravel/artisan view:clear
php /var/www/laravel/artisan cache:clear

chown -R ubuntu:www-data /var/www/laravel
sudo find /var/www/laravel -type d -exec chmod 755 {} +
sudo find /var/www/laravel -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +
chmod -R 777 /var/www/laravel/storage

composer update

all other commands work except the composer update, any help is appreciated.

You must include absolute path for the directory where your project resides (where you have composer.json file for the dependencies).

Replace composer update with composer update -d /var/www/laravel

and It will work like charm.
