Deploy Laravel on Google App engine - base_path() wrong

I am deploying my Laravel app on Google Cloud App Engine.

Everything is working fine.

Howerver, I noticed that base_path() returns /app. I thought base_path() returns the root folder of the app.

Does App Engine wrap the application within a app folder somehow?

Thanks

It is because you dont specify a APP_STORAGE environment variable , it then defaults to /app dir.

From laravel docs Laravel installation guide

Follow the boilerplate and see if it helps you at GCP - Laravel GAE Standard

TLDR; reference app.yaml file

runtime: php72

env_variables:
  APP_KEY: YOUR_APP_KEY
  APP_STORAGE: /tmp
  VIEW_COMPILED_PATH: /tmp
  SESSION_DRIVER: cookie
