Laravel 5 view not found

Question

I'm having the weirdest error in Laravel 5, and I haven't had this happen in any of my other projects.

Problem

I receive the following error when I try to hit my app

No such file or directory (View: /home/vagrant/Code/resources/views/layout/master.blade.php) (View: /home/vagrant/Code/resources/views/layout/master.blade.php)

However, in my directory structure

And in my blade template

@extends('layout.master')

@section('content')
jfoewifjewo[ij
@endsection

In my controller

public function index()
    {
        return view('home');
    }

Anyone else hit this issue? I've never encountered it before. Yes storage has read/write on both local and homestead.

UPDATE: I'm on Laravel 5.0.13

Answer 1

This issue lies with using Laravel Elixir with homestead. I went back to MAMP to see if I got the same error and what it told me was that I was missing the rev-manifest.json file in public/build. After some digging, I found out that if you don't apply the "versions" function to the elixir function in your gulpfile, the build folder won't be generated and calls to the "elixir" function in your blade templates will fail. This appears to bubble up as an error in finding the view, when it's actually an issue finding a view dependency.

Use gulp to build your sass or less files for sure, but for the time being stick with just URL::asset() to get your javascript and css file paths generated until all the kinks with elixir are worked out.

This is a well know version issue Laravel 5.0.1 (@Zarathuztra version) Here is some comments about the issue: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/laravel-5-error-out-of-the-box-with-update-route-throws-an-error

Search for "PratyushPundir" and from them you will see some people having the same issue

Updating Laravel should fix it.
