So I've been trying to install the LaravelCollective/Html package via composer update (already added "laravelcollective/html": "5.2.*" to the project composer.json file), but I keep getting this...
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError]
Class 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider' not found
Script php artisan optimize handling the post-update-cmd event returned with error code 1
It seems I need to update app.php, but only after the install I can't get out of.
Thanks in advance.
(Oh and I'm using Windows, if that's of any importance. And yes, I did look for answers, but most were either relative to people having trouble after install or wrongly assuming they were)
So, I ended up finding the answer myself. I really dislike when I ask for help and end up not needing any, but this answer might be useful for others thinking the same way as I did.
Some answers I looked for said something about using composer dump-autoload after installation. I didn't try this step because I was fixated on the installation failing, and assumed it only worked if the install itself did. But then I decided to go with it, then retried composer update and nothing happened (maybe a sign there was nothing broken to fix). Then I edited the config/app.php file as explained on the docs and, surprisingly, it started working. I still might need to test it a little, but for now it seems nothing's broken.
