Laravel 6 artisan package:discover rename bootstrap/cache/packages

I found the problem, my windows docker (version 2.1.0.3) sometimes fails to execute. I don't know how it looks like the packages.php file just got locked. So here is the recipe to fix:

1. I restarted windows,
2. deleted all the files inside bootstrap\cache
3. started the containers
4. run artisan optimize
5. run composer du

Everything went back to work like a magic. :)

run this command: composer dump-autoload This command will clean up all compiled files and their paths.

enter this command in your terminal for clear cache: php artisan cache:clear
