i’m editing a Magento 2 module. If i install the module via composer require, then run all the necessary commands, the module works.
If i manually copy the module files from vendor/{vendorname}/{modulename} to app/code/{vendorname}/{modulename}, then uninstall the vendor module via composer+all the necessary commands, then i enable the module present in app/code with the necessary commands, this is the result:
And this is the resulting system.log:

From this log it seems that magento cannot find one of my module’s classes, as if the class has not been autoloaded.
So my question is:
How is it possible that the EXACT same module works when placed in the vendor folder via composer, but doesn’t work when manually placed under app/code ??
The module is evidently working when placed in vendor, hence the code is correct.
Isn’t app/code meant to be used for the live development of modules?? Am i missing something?
Please note: after i moved the module to app/code i ran the following commands:
composer install
composer dump-autoload
bin/magento module:status
bin/magento module:enable Companyname_Modulename --clear-static-content
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
