AppEngine class found on local but not when deployed

Question

For some reason, this perfectly works on my local development server but when I deploy it to google I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: Class 'PHPOnCouch\couchClient' not found in /base/data/home/apps/../2.105209891175321430/library/testerson.php on line 10

Does anyone know why I wouldnt be getting conflicting errors on local vs deployment?

Here is my folder structure:

project folder
- app.yaml
- library/
- vendor/
- index.php

/library/testerson.php

<?php
    namespace testerson;
    use PHPOnCouch\couchClient as couchClient;

    class Testerson {

        public function __construct()
        {
            $this->CLOUDANT_URL = "https://user:[email protected]";
            $this->global_client = new couchClient($this->CLOUDANT_URL, 'global');
        }

    }
?>

/index.php

<?php
    require_once("vendor/autoload.php");
    require_once("library/testerson.php");

    use testerson\Testerson;

    $account = new Testerson();
?>

As a wild guess, have you copied someone's app.yaml that includes test* in the skip_files clause?
