Answer 1

Okay, did some further research with Google and it seems that this has to do with the autoload caching from Composer. There are various ways on how you can solve this.

composer dump-autoload

This would re-create the autoload stuff for you and it should solve your problem for now.

If this doesn't help, try deleting everything and re-install fresh: ^[ref]

rm -rf /path/to/composer.lock /path/to/vendor/
composer install

This would re-create just about everything.
