Laravel view not found exception

Question

I have problem with laravel view is not found by route function I did composer dumpautoload but no use ArticleController.php

Answer 1

Somewhat embarrassingly, I discovered another rather trivial cause for this error: I had a full stop in the filename of my blade file (eg resources/views/pages/user.invitation.blade.php). It really did make sense at the time!

I was trying to reference it like so: view('pages.user.invitation')

but of course Laravel was looking for the file at resources/views/pages/user/invitation.blade.php and throwing the view not found.

Hope this helps someone.
