Question

As soon, I am typing php artisan db:seed command.

I\'m getting Error Like:

[ReflectionException]
Clas

Answer 1

Not strictly related to the question but received the error ReflectionException: Class config does not exist

I had added a new .env variable with spaces in it. Running php artisan config:clear told me that any .env variable with spaces in it should be surrounded by "s.

Did this and my application stated working again, no need for config clear as still in development on Laravel Homestead (5.4)

Answer 2

composer update 

Above command worked for me.

Whenever you make new migration in la-ravel you need to refresh classmap in composer.json file .

Answer 3

For some reason I had to run composer dumpautoload -o. Notice flag -o which mean with optimization. I don't have any idea why it works only with it but give it a try. Perhaps it helps someone.

Answer 4

composer dump-autoload
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear

This will surely work. If not then, you need to do

composer update

and then, the aforementioned commands.

Answer 5

composer dump-autoload 

this will fix it

Answer 6

Usually error message ReflectionException: Class app does not exist appears in larval test when you forget to close connection.

if you're using setUp or tearDown function in your test do not forget to close connection by calling parent::setUp and parent::tearDown

    public function setUp()
    {
        parent::setUp();
    }

    public function tearDown()
    {
        parent::tearDown();
    }
