Target class [view] does not exist. in Container.php

Question

I have a problem with laravel and I don't know how to fix it for now. Actually I don't know how I face this problem, but will try to explain you what I did and what I tried for now to fix the problem.

I tried composer update and this problem occured. Now I can not type any command like php artisan make:livewire name or even php artisan --version, everytime when I try to execute commands I receive this error in console

In Container.php line 811:
                                       
  Target class [view] does not exist.  
                                       

In Container.php line 809:
                             
  Class view does not exist 

Script @php artisan package:discover --ansi handling the post-autoload-dump event returned with error code 1 
                             

Also the information from the log file

Solutions I have been tried till now:

1.Delete vendor folder and type composer install again but at the final stage I received this error again.

2.Delete vendor and composer.lock still without success.

3.Cleaned boostrap/cache/*.php folder and run commands again, but it not worked again.

So any advice how to fix this problem will be appreciated. Laravel Version: 7

add -vvv to any command you run to see if you can get a more verbose error message, perhaps a stacktrace – Ward

Try run: composer dump-autoload – Retroaction

@HarpalSingh already tried without success, still received the same error . Lagbox I did not receive more information from stacktrace after added -vvv – Flowerless

what did you do to cause this in the first place? – Ward

I tried to install one package and I received this error, and from then I'm not able to do anything – Flowerless

Please share more details about the problem. Can you reset your project to a state where this error does not occur? If yes, please add the differences to your post, along with your debugging attempts – Mosira

what package and what does "try" mean ... what happened? – Ward

I have been tried to install this package miljar/php-exif, but I don't think it's matters. Also I can provide and one more error message Script @php artisan package:discover --ansi handling the post-autoload-dump event returned with error code 1 – Flowerless

Answer 1

The whole problem was that, another developer had commented line Illuminate\View\ViewServiceProvider::class, inside config/app.php providers

Wow, you just saved me hours of debug! – Decalescence

Answer 2

For me this error occurred after having executed php artisan optimize:clear.

All I had to do to fix it was to execute php artisan view:cache

Golgotha

In my case All I had to do was to execute php artisan optimize – Callisthenics

php artisan view:cache works – Polygnotus

Answer 3

One can also run composer install and it could also fix some versions of this error.

I solve this problem in my app (Laravel 8, php 7.4 online server) following the steps below:

1. access my server over ssh

2. execute this command for the installer composer:
   curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

3. change the name of composer.phar for composer. Follow the stpes below: mkdir ~/bin mv ~/composer.phar ~/bin/composer

4. now execute this command for apache PHP export PATH=$PATH:/var/www/bin echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/var/www/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

Now test using the command composer about

Perfect! Now do you need delete your folder VENDOR, and run the command below : composer update Voila! try access you application again
