I've recently updated my custom Laravel package's namespace after my original question was closed, I've followed the suggestion from the attached answers in my original question and just need some pointers here.
Composer 1 throws a warning regarding my class, so I've gone ahead and updated my namespace to be lowercase since, and most of the warnings have gone away in terms of the controllers, but now, when I run composer dump my error is that:
Target class [company\mypackage\ApplyController] does not exist.
Previously, my class had uppercase letters:
namespace Company\MyPackage;
and my folders http and controllers had an uppercase letter, they're now lowercase and I don't know why I'm getting an error now?
The full error now is:
> Illuminate\Foundation\ComposerScripts::postAutoloadDump
> #php artisan package:discover --ansi
Illuminate\Contracts\Container\BindingResolutionException
Target class [company\mypackage\ApplyController] does not exist.

I'm trying to seed my "DatabaseSeeder.php' But when I try to run
php artisan db:seed
I get the error:
Target class [DatabaseSeeder] does not exist.
My code in "DatabaseSeeder.php" looks like this:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Seed the application's database.
*
* #return void
*/
public function run()
{
factory(App\User::class, 3)->create()->each(function($u) {
$u->questions()
->saveMany(
factory(App\Question::class, rand(1, 5))->make()
);
});
}
}
What I tried so far:
composer dump-autoload
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan optimize
Note: I don't have a User-Made seeder, I'm trying to use the default one (DatabaseSeeder.php), but for some reason, it's telling me that it doesn't exist.
With Laravel 7, the composer.json needs the classmap reference in the autoload mapping, because the default seed folder doesn't respect PSR-4: database/seeds (see Laravel Documentation - Database: Seeding)
Check to have this in the composer.json:
"classmap": [
"database/seeds",
"database/factories"
],
And run composer dump-autoload
See this similar error: Target class [DatabaseSeeder] does not exist - Laravel 7 and Composer 2
I moved my project from desk to another.
When I run php artisan it does not work.
I tried to run composer update, but it returns the error
Script #php artisan package:discover handling the post-autoload-dump event returned with error code 255
This is how I solved this after an upgrade from laravel version 6.x - 7.x:
In App\Exceptions\Handler changed
//Use Exception;
Use Throwable;
Then methods to accept instances of Throwable instead of Exceptions as follows:
//public function report(Exception$exception);
public function report(Throwable $exception);
//public function render($request, Exception $exception);
public function render($request, Throwable $exception);
In config\session.php:
//'secure' => env('SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE', false),
'secure' => env('SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE', null),
Then run composer update
I solved the problem this way:
cd bootstrap/cache/
rm -rf *.php
The bootstrap directory contains the app.php file that initializes the structure. This directory also houses a cache directory that contains structure-generated files for performance optimization, such as files and route cache services. Laravel stores configuration files, provider, and cached services to optimize the fetching of this information. The problem with me was when the other developer ran the 'php artisan config: cache' command on your machine and since the cache folder contains files that can be deleted, I deleted them and solved the problem.
If this happened after Laravel update from 6.x to 7.x, then this could be due to the update of Symfony. See the upgrade guide of this part:
https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/upgrade#symfony-5-related-upgrades
I was upgrading my Laravel from 5.8 to 8.0 and I got this error.
So my fixes were
As #nobuhiroharada mentioned that I had missed .env file in my project
Second is that Laravel removed Exception and replaced it with Throwable. So we need to fix that in our app\Exceptions\Handler.php. One can refer Medium.com for the error fix.
In the upgrade guide of Laravel 8.x you need to update the dependencies like this
Next, in your composer.json file, remove classmap block from the autoload section and add the new namespaced class directory mappings:
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/",
"Database\\Factories\\": "database/factories/",
"Database\\Seeders\\": "database/seeders/"
}
},
Finally from bootstrap\cache delete the cache files and run composer update.
These 5 steps might help you remove the error you are facing in your Laravel Project.
This happens because you have upgraded to Laravel 7.
To fix it, update app/Exceptions/Handler.php like so:
<?php
namespace App\Exceptions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
use Throwable; // <-- ADD THIS
class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
public function report(Throwable $exception) // <-- USE Throwable HERE
{
parent::report($exception);
}
public function render($request, Throwable $exception) // AND HERE
{
return parent::render($request, $exception);
}
}
This is documented in the official upgrade guide here:
https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/upgrade#symfony-5-related-upgrades
I got the same problem in Win 8 and solve it:
Here is the steps.
Step-1: Go to your project directory
Step-2: And type command cd bootstrap/cache/
Step-3: Again type command del -rf *.php
Step-4: Update your composer composer update
Step-5: Now you are done: php artisan serve
Thanks.
Do you have .env file in your new project?
I had same error message. When I add .env file, error is gone.
success message like this.

I hope this will help you.
maybe you have an error in the project code (for example, in routes or controller). This may be one of the reasons for this error.
In my project, the web.php file has a syntax error. I defined this when I started the php artisan command
C:\OSPanel\domains\lara.shop.loc>php artisan
In web.php line
syntax error, unexpected end of file
Same issue when I update laravel from 6.x to 7.x
I tried the most voted answer but it didn't work, then I used php artisan serve I noticed that:
RuntimeException
In order to use the Auth::routes() method, please install the laravel/ui package.
Try composer require laravel/ui maybe it will work.
I solve this error by deleting the vendor table then run composer update. I'm using Laravel 7. So, if you are not updating from the older Laravel version, maybe this is the solution.
I had this same problem when running composer update in a Laravel project. In the package.json it's configured to run artisan package:discover, which failed with:
Class 'Symfony\Component\Translation\Translator' not found in vendor/nesbot/carbon/src/Carbon/Translator.php on line 18
When I looked in the vendor/symfony/translation directory I found that it was completely empty, which explained the error.
The solution was to completely delete the vendor directory and then re-run composer update. This was the only way that I was able to make composer install the missing files.
I deleted composer.lock file and ran composer update.
That solved mine
I had the same issue, my problem was the PHP version of the server account did not match my Docker container. The SSH terminal was using the global php version for the server.
php -v
Confirm it's the version your project needs.
Composer did warn me that a higher php version was required but I rm -rf'd /vendor and ./composer.lock without paying too much attention to the warnings!
Got the same problem.
php artisan doesn't work.
composer install got error:
Script #php artisan package:discover handling the post-autoload-dump event returned with error code 255
And this works for me.
When I switch another linux user. It works.
some files are owned by another linux user.
So I use root account and change all the project file to the specific user,
chown -R www:www project/
and use that user to execute composer cmd
and then it works.
My case/solution, in case it helps anyone...
I copied my repo over from my old Windows computer to a new one, and installed the latest php.
composer install was returning:
Root composer.json requires php ^7.1.3 but your php version (8.1.10) does not satisfy that requirement
...which I thought was odd (assuming 8 satisfied ^7), so I continued on with composer install --ignore-platform-reqs, and ended up with this particular issue.
After trying a bunch of other possible solutions, what ended up working for me was simply downgrading to the same PHP version from my old machine (7.4.33).
This is not an actual error. If you look a bit above you'll see the actual error.
In my case, there was an error in my code:
PHP Fatal error: Declaration of
App\Exceptions\Handler::render($request, App\Exceptions\Exception $exception)
must be compatible with
Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler::render($request, Throwable $e)
It is not possible to tell you what is actually a problem in your code, so you have to look real reason for this error in your stack trace.
In my case there is missing folder and its file Kernel.php in
app/Console
So I created app/Console/Kernel.php using code from previous project.
Now everything working fine.
Make sure your config\constants.php (and/or resources\lang\en\local.php) has no syntax errors. I get this error a lot by missing commas in constants.php file.
If you have this error the simplest way is you can try using composer install instead of composer update
I deleted my project I created a new folder and cloned the repository again and after that I gave composer install / update.
I got the same problem in Win 10 and solve it:
Here is the steps.
Step-1: Go to your project directory
Step-2: Update your composer
composer update
Step-3: Now you are done: php artisan serve
Nothing worked, so I installed a new project, and I read Handler.php in App\Exceptions, it was different, probably because I copied some solution and Internet and deleted the following:
protected $dontReport = [
//
];
protected $dontFlash = [
'password',
'password_confirmation',
];
I copy here all of Handler.php generated by laravel 7.5, may be useful for someone:
<?php
namespace App\Exceptions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;
use Throwable;
class Handler extends ExceptionHandler
{
/**
* A list of the exception types that are not reported.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $dontReport = [
//
];
/**
* A list of the inputs that are never flashed for validation exceptions.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $dontFlash = [
'password',
'password_confirmation',
];
/**
* Report or log an exception.
*
* #param \Throwable $exception
* #return void
*
* #throws \Exception
*/
public function report(Throwable $exception)
{
parent::report($exception);
}
/**
* Render an exception into an HTTP response.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Throwable $exception
* #return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
*
* #throws \Throwable
*/
public function render($request, Throwable $exception)
{
return parent::render($request, $exception);
}
}
For me it was related to Kernel.php
I was adding new schedule task into the Kernel. I also updated some controllers, views, and installed twilio extension.
The error did not provide more information than
Script #php artisan package:discover handling the post-autoload-dump event returned with error code 255
#Suresh Pangeni refences the Kernel.php doc so I checked by doc that is in PROJECTFOLDER\app\Console\Kernel.php
protected $commands = [
Commands\Inspire::class,
Commands\Test::class
\App\Console\Commands\Message::class,
];
Missing Comma between Commands\Test::class and the next line didn't let me proceed. It provided no further warning or information when I ran composer dump-autoload.
Hope this can help someone else that has a similar issue!
I had the same error today, the causes are as follows:
cause 1: the env file contains space in one of the configuration.
cause 2: incorrect configuration of the Handler file belonging to the App\Exceptions namespace;
cause 3: incorrect configuration of a file inheriting ExceptionHandler
I was using Laravel 9.x and got the same error after trying to install this package maatwebsite/excel!
thanks to #samuel-terra and #dqureshiumar there is the solution worked for me:
clear bootstrap/cache:
cd bootstrap/cache/
rm -rf *.php
then run composer update:
composer update
My problem was __construct method.
composer.json
"php": "^8.1",
"laravel/framework": "^9.19",
Handler.php
The problem originates from this code:
this->container->make(FlasherInterface::class);
My solution, I removed the construction directly and the problem is solved.
public function __construct(Container $container)
{
parent::__construct($container);
$this->flasher = $this->container->make(FlasherInterface::class);
//$this->request = $this->container->get(Request::class);
}
Getting this error when my composer version 2.x then i rollback this
composer self-update --1
Now its perfectly working
I follow the docs: http://laravel.com/docs/master/migrations#database-seeding
I placed UserTableSeeder file near DatabaseSeeder. In resources/database/seeds/ folder.
These files are without namespaces (only classes in app/ are namespaced).
Of course there is an exception: exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Class UserTableSeeder does not exist'
What is the best way to solve this problem?
The default Laravel 5 project has a classmap defined in its composer.json:
{
// ...
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"database"
],
// ...
}
}
Run composer dump every time you add or remove a class on your database directory to update the Composer autoloader
Reference: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/develop/composer.json
You should use composer dump-autoload command. From the docs:
Once you have written your seeder, you may need to regenerate Composer's autoloader using the dump-autoload command:
composer dump-autoload
Reference here.
