This error generally display when you install jwt package in laravel 5.5 version. then after you set service providers and run following command.

php artisan jwt:generate

then you seen this error message in terminal.

how to resolve it? simple follow this step

Step - 1 Re-install package

composer require tymon/jwt-auth:dev-develop --prefer-source

or the following is a new release package use laravel 6.X

composer require tymon/jwt-auth:1.0.*

in this developement version this errors fixed.

Step - 2 Set Service Provider
