 * Hi, I am trying to use the wp-cli with a modified wp-config.php. I’ve got a dev
   environment set up with docker so it does not look like standard wp per se.
 * The wp-config.php has:
 *     ```
       require_once('vendor/autoload.php');                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
       require_once('config/application.php');
       require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
       ```
   
 * The first is the php composer autoload
    The second is my custom wp-config setup
   which uses vlucas/phpdotenv to grab my .env settings.
 * This all works great when running wordpress itself, but fails when trying to 
   use wp-cli. It doesn’t like the modified wp-config.php and gets tripped up on
   the autoload.php. My error message indicates that the autoload.php isn’t being
   made available.
 *     ```
       PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Class 'Dotenv\Dotenv' not found in /home/danny/s1t2/s1t2in-master-template-wordpress/config/application.php:7

       #7 /usr/bin/wp(4): include('phar:///usr/bin...')
       #8 {main}
       ```
   
 * Any help greatly appreciated!
