Laravel 5.4 View [name] not found

Question

Even if the views is available at the resources/views directory laravel is showing me this error

View [name] not found.

Everything was working fine until a token mismatch error occured currently i am not being able to access any view in the views directory.

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});//in web.php

is throwing View [welcome] not found. exception

NOTE I am running my application vagrant in homestead

Solution 1

I was having this problem only when running the application on homestead server and i was able to solve this after i ran the

php artisan config:clear

command

Solution 2

First of all check welcome view exist in the resources/views directory. After that run following command on terminal:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache

and refresh the page.

Explanation: Laravel maintains cache to serve view, so you have to clear the cache.
