Laravel 6 artisan package:discover rename bootstrap/cache/packages

Question

After composer update I got an error:

In Filesystem.php line 146:

rename(/var/www/bootstrap/cache/packages.phpE7r5E4,/var/www/bootstrap/cache /packages.php): No such file or directory

Artisan commands don't work anymore. Already tried:

composer du
composer install
composer update

Do composer dump-autoload or artisan cache:clear help? – Androclinium

Empty bootstrap/cache directory, and run the commands composer dumpa, php artisan optimize:clear. Try this. – Overspend

Answer 1

I found the problem, my windows docker (version 2.1.0.3) sometimes fails to execute. I don't know how it looks like the packages.php file just got locked. So here is the recipe to fix:

1. I restarted windows,
2. deleted all the files inside bootstrap\cache
3. started the containers
4. run artisan optimize
5. run composer du

Everything went back to work like a magic. :)

Answer 2

run this command: composer dump-autoload This command will clean up all compiled files and their paths.

enter this command in your terminal for clear cache: php artisan cache:clear

Answer 4

For me deleting the composer.lock file and then running composer install fixed the issue.

Answer 5

Try:

composer dump-autoload

or:

artisan cache:clear

after you update or make changes to composer.json to refresh everything.
