Running locally in a container when mounting volumes, I'm not getting a hot reload
It's not an official feature but it sure would be useful, and I see no reason why it wouldn't work if set up properly. Can you share your docker run command and the contents of your Dockerfile?
No worries. I'm using docker and docker-compose. I'm just using your docker file:
FROM gcr.io/gae-runtimes/php73:php73_20191020_7_3_10_RC00
WORKDIR /srv
# NOTE: The entrypoint "/start", which starts up NGINX and PHP-FPM,
# is configured by creating a `.googleconfig/app_start.json` file with the
# contents:
#
# {"entrypointContents": "CUSTOM_ENTRYPOINT"}
#
# We configure it to use the `router.php` file included in this package.
RUN mkdir .googleconfig && \
echo '{"entrypointContents": "serve vendor/bin/router.php"}' > .googleconfig/app_start.json
# Copy over composer files and run "composer install"
COPY composer.* ./
COPY --from=composer:1 /usr/bin/composer /usr/local/bin
RUN composer install --no-dev
# Copy over all application files
COPY . .
# Set a runtime name (required by the base image)
ENV GAE_RUNTIME php73
With a vanilla docker-compose file, that I start with docker-compose up.

I'm using the http call to kick off a batch php script. My problem was that I was heavily editing the batch script and the changes would not be picked up by the http function unless I restarted the container.
This was wrecking havoc with my development flow.
However, I eventually realized that I didn't need to use the http function to debug at all. I can just bash into the container and run the php script from the command line.
Still, would be a nice feature!
After looking into it, the issue is that OPCache is enabled (makes sense in production! Not so much for hot reloading in development).
You can disable it easily by adding an *.ini file in the root of your application which disables opcache:
; php.ini
opcache.enable = Off
... or by turning opcache off in development inside index.php or anywhere else:
// just turn it off
ini_set('opcache.enable', 'Off');
It would be great to have some sort of DEBUG environment variable, but I'd want this to be standard across all functions frameworks.
Node uses the environment variable NODE_ENV, which is set to production (see here).
We're going to close this for now while we find a standard way to do this across all functions frameworks.
