When I download any Laravel project and run composer install it says to me:
Composer could not find a composer.json file in C:\Users\gbl\My
Documents\vertrigoserv\www\
To initialize a project, please create a composer.json file as described in the https://getcomposer.org/ "Getting Started" section
It doesnt work with any Laravel project i try to run. There is composer.json in all the projects, but composer cant find them.
I am using Windows 10. Tried to reinstall composer few times and nothing happens.
you might want to try installing composer with-in your project directory.
that will create composer.json in your project folder which will enable you to add whichever packages that you wish to add to this composer.json and update it.
also make sure you have added php and composer in your PATH variable
give this a try and let me know if it solved your issue.
i'm trying to install the anahkiasen/former package once again but it won't work. The funny thing is, I downloaded it about a weak ago and it was working perfectly. My code if finished and use's this former package. I tried to install a new package a half hour ago and since this the former class isn't found anymore.
Like I mentioned it, it was working perfectly before, but since I did a composer update it doesn't work.
Well I did what they said over here:
https://github.com/formers/former/wiki/Getting-started
first I run this::
composer require anahkiasen/former:4.0.*#dev
then a composer update
after the update I add this in my config/app.php provider section:
Former\FormerServiceProvider::class,
and this in the alias section:
'Former' => 'Former\Facades\Former',
I tried it but it still doesn't work. Just getting
Class 'Former\FormerServiceProvider' not found
as an output
I removed the package I wanted to install before and found another way.. But the problem with the former class is still there.
Thanks for any help!
Terminal outputs:
/var/www/laravel# php composer.phar require anahkiasen/former
gives:
Using version ^4.0 for anahkiasen/former
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update
Generating autoload files
-------- then I added the provider/alias --- after this:
composer update --no-scripts
gives
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)

composer dump-autoload
gives of course:

/var/www/laravel/logs# php artisan config:publish anahkiasen/former
gives:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'Former\FormerServiceProvider' not found in /var/www/laravel/logs/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/ProviderRepository.php on line 146
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
Class 'Former\FormerServiceProvider' not found
note that I changed the directory in the last command
Let's start from the beginning.
Follow below steps:-
1) Run below command in terminal:-
composer.phar require anahkiasen/former
2) It'll ask you for the version, type dev-master
3) Add Former's service provider to your Laravel application in app/config/app.php. In the providers array add :
'Former\FormerServiceProvider',
Add then alias Former's main class by adding its facade to the aliases array in the same file :
'Former' => 'Former\Facades\Former',
4) run composer update --no-scripts
After that, run composer dump-autoload, and that should work.
If not working then run this command:-
php artisan config:publish anahkiasen/former
Hope it will help you :)
I am getting following error when I open my site which is made using laravel 5
Fatal error: Class 'Illuminate\Foundation\Application' not found in C:\cms\bootstrap\app.php on line 14
I have tried removing vendor folder and composer.lock file and running composer install it's not working I tried running PHP artisan optimize but it shows error
Fatal error: Class'Illuminate\Foundation\Application' not found
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Edited:
This problem aroused as soon as I used the php artisan make:model Page command which did create the model but then the above error gets displayed when I access the site
Also If use the Laravel's Local Development Server no such problem arises only if I use wamp server
In my situation, I didn't have the full vendor dependencies in place (composer file was messed up during original install) - so running any artisan commands caused a failure.
I was able to use the --no-scripts flag to prevent artisan from executing before it was included. Once my dependencies were in place, everything worked as expected.
composer update --no-scripts
Just in case I trip over this error in 2 weeks again...
My case: Checkout an existing project via git and pull in all dependencies via composer. Came down to the same error listed within the title of this post.
Solution:
composer dump-autoload
composer install --no-scripts
make sure everything works now as expected (no errors!)
composer update
Something is clearly corrupt in your Laravel setup and it is very hard to track without more info about your environment. Usually these 2 commands help you resolve such issues
php artisan clear-compiled
composer dump-autoload
If nothing else helps then I recommend you to install fresh Laravel 5 app and copy your application logic over, it should take around 15 min or so.
Easy as this, that worked for my project
Delete /vendor folder
and execute composer install
then run project php artisan serve
In my case composer was not installed in that directory. So I run
composer install
then error resolved.
or you can try
composer update --no-scripts
cd bootstrap/cache/->rm -rf *.php
composer dump-autoload
I just fixed this problem (Different Case with same error),
The answer above I tried may not work because My case were different but produced the same error.
I think my vendor libraries were jumbled,
I get this error by:
1. Pull from remote git, master branch is codeigniter then I do composer update on master branch, I wanted to work on laravel branch then I checkout and do composer update so I get the error,
Fatal error: Class 'Illuminate\Foundation\Application' not found in
C:\cms\bootstrap\app.php on line 14
Solution:
I delete the project on local and do a clone again, after that I checkout to my laravel file work's branch and do composer update then it is fixed.
I had accidentally commented out:
require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/autoload.php';
in
/public/index.php
When pasting in some debugging statements.
For latest laravel version also check your version because I was also
facing this error but after update latest php version, I got rid from
this error.
run composer require laravel/framework after composer install then php artisan key:generate its work for me in kali linux
I can't imagine that anyone else reading this is a stupid as I was but just in case...
I had accidentally removed "laravel/framework": "^5.6" from my composer.json when resolving merge conflicts.
please test below solution:
first open command prompt cmd ==> window+r and go to the location where laravel installed.
try composer require laravel/laravel
i was having same problem with this error.
It turn out my Kenel.php is having a wrong syntax when i try to comply with wrong php8 syntax
The line should be
protected $commands = [
//
];
instead of
protected array $commands = [
//
];
#kalhan-toress 's comment is what ACTUALLY WORKED FOR ME
remove /bootstrap/start.php,composer.lock, and the vendor and run composer install
In my case, the error was caused on initial deployment because I didn't have a .env file in that directory (because those don't belong on Github where the files were transferred from).
check your .env file i think you miss something. Maybe like this
if yes then need to add manually and composer update or install composer
So, I installed Laravel on a dev server (php5.5.3, standard installation, mcrypt installed), and I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Class 'Illuminate\Foundation\Application' not found in /[path_to_laravel_app]/bootstrap/start.php on line 14
Quite odd, and I haven't seen a solution to this file, although I've seen plenty of similar errors. Any advice welcome. Thanks!
/bootstrap/start.php is created after composer install by running Laravel's php artisan optimize. I've had a lot of issues on this during upgrades of Laravel, but removing /bootstrap/start.php, composer.lock, and the vendor directory and re-running composer install should fix this issue.
Run this command:
composer update --no-scripts
In my case I have added another required package(Guzzle) in the compser.json file separately(in the last line but it should be after the laravel package line) and updated the compsoser and came across this issue.
I have checked and my vendor/laravel folder has gone. That was preventing me to run any artisian command.
So "--no-scripts" worked for me as it prevents any scripts to be included before executing artisan.
You can use another method in case you are having issues.
Install another raw laravel and copy all the files from the vendor
file to your old repostory.
Change permission of storage and bootstrap folder to 775 or 777.
Delete everything in the session and view folder of storage/framework
Correct the composer.json. This might happen after you have added a new package configuration by dublicating the require tag.
Do not create yet another
require: {
..
}
use the previous defined one.
Then follow the accepted answer to re-install the packages.
Just Run the command
composer install --no-scripts
Or,
composer update --no-scripts
Double check your composer.json file. If you have error on "require": section this error will occur.
Just restore a previous version of composer.json file and run composer update.
I'm updating my app from Symfony2.0 to Symfony2.1.
When I run composer install I receive a fatal exception about JMS/SerializerBundle not being found when it reaches the generating autoload files step. I think cache:clear is causing this.
I've added it to composer.json:
"jms/serializer-bundle": "dev-master",
And in my appKernel:
new JMS\SerializerBundle\JMSSerializerBundle($this),
I basically followed the steps.
I also can not find the file in the vendor directory. The composer stated 'Nothing to install or update' though. It does not matter if I put in a version number. Think this is the same for the stof doctrine extension.
How do I resolve this?
Setting symfony to 2.1.0 allowed me to install the extra repositories.
