Laravel 5.1 View not found

Question

this seems to be an issue that pops up every now and then within Laravel. I was writing a CRUD controller with a view to go with it, however upon testing I got the InvalidArgumentException in FileViewFinder.php line 137: View [bookingcrud.index] not found error. Here is my code:

routes.php:

Route::resource('bookingcrud', 'BookingsCrudController');

BookingsCrudController.php

use uasc\Http\Requests;
use uasc\Http\Requests\CrudCreateRequest;
use uasc\Http\Requests\CrudUpdateRequest;
use uasc\Http\Controllers\Controller;

use Auth;
use DB;
use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class BookingsCrudController extends Controller {

    public function index()
    {
        if (!Auth::check() || Auth::user()->authority < 1) {
            return redirect('/login');
        }

        $raw = "select * from bookings";
        $bookings = DB::select($raw);
        $paginatedBookings = new Paginator($bookings, 1);

        return view('bookingcrud.index')->with('bookings', $paginatedBookings);
    }
}

And a view located in ~/laravel/resources/views/bookingcrud/index.blade.php No matter what is in this view file whether its markup from a working view or just the word "cheese" i will always get:

InvalidArgumentException in FileViewFinder.php line 140:
View [bookingcrud.index] not found.

I tested the same view in a known working controller and got the same error however I tested a known working view on the same CRUD controller and it worked. I have also tried changing the directory of the view and renaming it but i'll get the same error with the "View [bookingcrud.index]" changing appropriately. I made sure the permissions of the file and directories were full for testing.

Since first getting the error I have upgraded to 5.1.1 from 5.0.26 (which is the version the error originated on for me) and ran composer update. Also from looking at threads with the same error I have also ran artisan config:clear

I am developing on Windows 8.1 with Homestead 2.0.17 deployed with Virtual Box.

Any help would much appriciated at this point it is doing my head in.

Answer 1

Please use terminal

homestead ssh > Press Enter
vagrant@homestead cd /Path_of_Your_Project/
vagrant@homestead:~/Path_of_Your_project php artisan cache:clear
vagrant@homestead:~/Path_of_Your_project php artisan config:cache

Sorry about my English

Turns out I had spelt blade incorrectly, took a second pair of eyes to notice it though.

$ ls resources/views/crud/booking/
crud.balde.php  index.balde.php

Was definitely a lesson to always double check the small things when debugging. Thanks for the help.

For someone who don't have SSH Access, There are two ways to solve this problem.

If you don't have any plugin of default Laravel package, First, Just remove the bootstrap/cache/config.php to solved the file,

OR

If you have any plugin of default Laravel package, Change all related path mentioned bootstrap/cache/config.php into the exact path which allocated the laravel project.
