require(vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream

Question

I know that this issue has been posted many times, but for me it seems to be a different problem.

Indeed, this error

Warning: require(vendor/autol

Answer 1

In your project folder, the vendor folder is missing so you got this error:

Warning: require(vendor/autoload.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

When you download the project through git, the project is downloaded without the vendor folder

You need /vendor because all your packages are there, including all the classes Laravel uses. The vendor directory contains your Composer dependencies.

The solution is simple, Just run this command:

composer update --no-scripts 
composer update

• composer update --no-scripts It will Skips execution of scripts defined in composer.json file.
• composer update It will update your depencencies as they are specified in composer.json file.

With this command, you will re-create the vendor folder in your project and after that your project will start working normally.
