Laravel 5.2 upgrade - class AuthServiceProvider not found - php

Question

I'm currently spending time to upgrade my project from Laravel 4.2 to Laravel 5.2.
After lots of troubles I managed to get a 5.1 version running correctly so I started the 5.1 to 5.2 procedure as described in the official docs: https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/upgrade#upgrade-5.2.0
After the first step, my composer.json looks like this:
"require": {
"laravel/framework": "5.2.*",
"illuminate/html": "5.*",
"andywer/js-localization": "dev-laravel-5",
"laracasts/flash" : "~1.0"
},
"require-dev": {
"phpunit/phpunit": "~4.0",
"phpspec/phpspec": "~2.1",
"symfony/dom-crawler": "~3.0",
"symfony/css-selector": "~3.0"
},
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"database",
"app/Models",
"app/Http/Controllers"
],
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/"
}
},
"autoload-dev": {
"classmap": [
"tests/TestCase.php"
]
},
I also updated the app.php config to delete ArtisanServiceProvider and ControllerServiceProvider in the providers section.
My app.php config looks like this:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Autoloaded Service Providers
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| The service providers listed here will be automatically loaded on the
| request to your application. Feel free to add your own services to
| this array to grant expanded functionality to your applications.

),
Of course, I cleared the config cache in bootstrap/cache and I tried everything I could to make it work but every time I run composer update I get this error now:
> php artisan clear-compiled
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
Class 'App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider' not found
Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-update-cmd event returned with an error
[RuntimeException]
Error Output:
worse than this, I can't run any artisan command or pages of my application. I keep getting this error any time I run some php in this project !
This is some moves I tried:
Delete all caches including config cache and services.json (impossible to regenerate them because of the error in artisan commands)
delete the vendor folder and re-run composer update
delete the 'Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider', line from app.php config
None of this worked and I'm running out of fresh ideas.
I have read and re-read the upgrade guide of the official docs and nothing seems to be related to this issue...
I'm still struggling with all that psr-4 / namespace thing in Laravel and I sense it can be caused something like that but can't figure out what exactly...

Answer 1

Do you have this service provider in place App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider in the /app/Providers folder
If not copy it from here and fix the namespace
https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/app/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php

Answer 2

update
'Form' => 'Illuminate\Html\FormFacade',
'HTML' => 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade',
// FAÇADES TIERCES
'Flash' => 'Laracasts\Flash\Flash'
I think those are causing your issues, try running it without those and check if these packages are 5.2 compatible. I also think that the Html component have been removed from the 5.* they should be maintained by collective so what you would need to do is to add the following rather than the Illuminate
'Form' => 'Collective\Html\FormFacade',
'Html' => 'Collective\Html\HtmlFacade',
Visit Laravel Collectives for more info

Answer 3

Try putting below string inside inverted commas as follows, and try again
'JsLocalization\JsLocalizationServiceProvider::class',
