Magento 2 where is app/code/magento pool

Question

In the RC candidates and the CE available via GitHud app/code/magento pool is included. In the distro from magento's website the pool is missing, where is the pool stored? I ask because I am getting messages saying that the Massgenerator does not exist:

a:4:{i:0;s:72:"Class Magento\Salesrule\Model\Coupon\MassgeneratorFactory does not exist";i:1;s:13600:"#0 /chroot/home/html/mag2a/vendor/magento/framework/ObjectManager/Definition/Runtime.php(44):

However the exact same code run on the CE distro containing the code/magento pool handles the code just fine.

• MagePal Extensions: Take a look at magento.stackexchange.com/questions/91012/… ... did you run bin/magento setup:upgrade -q && bin/magento cache:flush -q in magento root dir?
• Eirik: Yes and the file is in place inside the vendor/magento folder

Answer 1

there are two approaches of installing Magento:
1. from Git repository. Then all modules are in app/code, so contributors can work with them as a regular GitHub repo
2. via Composer. Then all core modules will be in vendor and custom modules can be created under app/code and stored under project's Git repository. The zip archive is based on this approach, just everything is already downloaded and packed in one zip
Source for the files is the same.

• Eirik: The class existed inside the vendor/magento folder. I ended up having to make my own model using the Massgenerator and then call that. I'm not sure why I couldn't create the factory based on the core magento class.

In Magento 2 RC/CE, it only have class Magento\SalesRule\Model\Coupon\Massgenerator, can you declare it your custom module. You should disable your module and run bin/magento setup:upgrade in location directory install magento2
