Laravel 5.4 Artisan Migrate ends with an undefined dispatch () method call

Question

I have a Laravel 5.4 app that works fine locally. When I try to host it on my production server, I cannot perform the migration. Here is the error part:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher::dispatch() in /path/to/app/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Console/Application.php:56 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit I just tried running php artisan --help and I get the same error.

Answer 1

Delete all files from /bootstrap/cache/ and run these commands

 php artisan cache:clear php artisan view:clear 

This should fix your problem.

Answer 2

I think your composer is not updated. Try removing the composer and then reinstalling it. Or try updating composer.phar. There is probably a problem with the version you are using.

Answer 3

Running the “composer update” solved the problem for me.

Answer 4

I had the same problem and solved it:

1. connected to my production server.
   
2. download cd / cache and delete the compiled.php file by running the rm compiled.php command.
