ZF3 - composer require module -> module could not be initialised

I am working with the skeleton-application as a base, using the Vagrant / Composer setup. After the initial install I realised I would need the LDAP module. I then ran composer require zendframework/zend-ldap which ran successfully and I have located the files in ~/vendor/zendframework/zend-ldap.

The issue is when I add 'Zend\Ldap' to my ~/config/modules.config.php I encounter the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Zend\ModuleManager\Exception\RuntimeException: Module (Zend\Ldap) could not be initialized. in /var/www/vendor/zendframework/zend-modulemanager/src/ModuleManager.php:203 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/vendor/zendframework/zend-modulemanager/src/ModuleManager.php(175): Zend\ModuleManager\ModuleManager->loadModuleByName(Object(Zend\ModuleManager\ModuleEvent))

The ~/config/modules.config.php file:

/**
 * List of enabled modules for this application.
 *
 * This should be an array of module namespaces used in the application.
 */
return [
    'Zend\Session',
    'Zend\Mvc\Plugin\Prg',

    'Zend\Validator',
    'Zend\Ldap',    // All is well if this is commented out
    'Application',

and the ~/config/application.config.php file:

I have tried removing cache folder, running composer update, restarting Vagrant, adding the full path to the 'modules_path' array in application.config.php but it is always the same error. Interestingly I run into the same issue with 'Zend\View' that was included from the install, but a module such as 'Zend\Session' can be added to the modules.config.php file with no issues (They are all located in the vendor/zendframework directory)

Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this issue?

Zend\Ldap is one of the ZF components. As it does not have a Module.php in its /src directory which is mandatory for a module. So you do not need to initialize like other modules through modules.config.php to use it in your application.

This component is not included as required with default installation of ZF. So if you want to use any component, you must add them to autoloader. Once you added a component like this one composer require zendframework/zend-ldap in your project, you would then be able to use it.

Check this answer and this issue to be clear!
