Laravel 5.2: Class 'Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider' not found

Question

I am trying to integrate Intervention Image into my project. I have followed the guide, used a shitton of other tutorials and no matter what I do, I keep getting the same error:

Class 'Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider' not found

It is included in my composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "laravel/envoy": "~1.0",
        "laravel/installer": "^1.3",
        "intervention/image": "^2.3"
    }
}

I have installed the php-gd thingy, I included

Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider::class

and

'Image' => Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::class

in my config\app.php, but I keep getting the annoying error message. Maybe it's worth mentioning that I am on a Linux Mint OS and that I am using the Homestead Virtual Machine. Yes, I included the thingies in the Homestead version of Composer, not on my main PC's composer. When using

PHP artisan --version

, it returns:

Laravel Framework version 5.2.43

I ran composer update on the Virtual Machine, didn't solve the problem. I tried removing the lines from app.php, running composer update, adding the lines again and running composer update, didn't work.

Does it matter where I have the inclusions in config\app.php? Right now, the alias is in the list and the provider is under Package Service Providers.

Here is the full error message:

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

Answer 1

I had the same issue, it turns out i wasn't running this command $ php composer.phar require intervention/image on the root of my project. I did ran it on the root of my project and everything was fine.

E.g Itses-MacBook-Pro:testproject bigtank$ composer require intervention/image

run it like this and it would work.

Cheers.
