<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p><strong>Quick description</strong><br>
If a submodule of a Drupal module has a dependency declared in its composer.json GitLab CI doesn't download it in the composer step. This can lead to errors on phpstan because some classes from that dependency are not available.</p>
<p><strong>Detailed description with an example</strong></p>
<p>Take the module <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/image_styles_generator/-/tree/1.2.x">Image Style Generator</a>. It has a "image_styles_generator_web" submodule that depends on the module WebP. </p>
<p>If I declare in the composer.json of the that submodule the dependency on webp, GitLab CI doesn't download WebP and phpstan complains because it can't find the WebP class it uses. See:</p>
<ul>
<li>Composer job run where webp is not downloaded: <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/image_styles_generator/-/jobs/4942525">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/image_styles_generator/-/jobs/4942525</a></li>
<li>phpstan results for the same commit where a error is displayed: <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/image_styles_generator/-/jobs/4942528">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/image_styles_generator/-/jobs/4942528</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The error is: </p>
<pre> ------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br> Line modules/image_styles_generator_webp/src/DerivativeWebpWarmer.php <br> ------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br> 31 Parameter $webp of method <br> Drupal\image_styles_generator_webp\DerivativeWebpWarmer::__construct() <br> has invalid type Drupal\webp\Webp. <br> ------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ </pre><p>However, I if add webp as a dependeny in the composer.json of the root folder of the module errors dissappear:</p>
<ul>
<li>Composer job on the commit where webp is added to the main composer.json: <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/image_styles_generator/-/jobs/4942531">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/image_styles_generator/-/jobs/4942531</a></li>
<li>phpstan run on the same commit without errors: <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/image_styles_generator/-/jobs/4942534">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/image_styles_generator/-/jobs/4942534</a></li>
</ul>

<p>I guess composer.json files of submodules should be taken into account.</p>
