Boas André,
Estou a utilizar a versão:
Laravel Framework 5.5.28.
Executei a limpeza da cach, mesmo assim, não funciona. Executei tentei executar os comandos abaixo, mas também não tive êxito:
martins.domingos@LAPTOPWT0909 MINGW64 ~/Desktop/laravel/estoque
$ php artisan view:clear
Compiled views cleared!
martins.domingos@LAPTOPWT0909 MINGW64 ~/Desktop/laravel/estoque
$ php artisan route:clear
Route cache cleared!
martins.domingos@LAPTOPWT0909 MINGW64 ~/Desktop/laravel/estoque
$ php artisan cache:clear
Cache cleared successfully.
martins.domingos@LAPTOPWT0909 MINGW64 ~/Desktop/laravel/estoque
$ php artisan optimize --force
Quando, faz subir o servidor, e testar o acesso a localhost:8000, no prompt aparece o seguinte:
Laravel development server started: <http://127.0.0.1:8000>
