Laravel view not found exception

This error also occurs when you try to move the whole project directory to other path. And you happened to run the following commands below BEFORE you move.

php artisan optimize --force
php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache

Mine error message shows like this

As you can see the old path was written in the compiled.php. So, to fix the problem. Simply run the same command AGAIN under the project folder in your new folder location.

php artisan optimize --force
php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache

Hope this helps.

This command works for me

php artisan config:cache

As Laravel doc says that by default, Laravel is configured to use the file cache driver, which stores the serialized, cached objects in the filesystem. So it needs to recache the file system so that newly added views and route are available to show. I also not sure why laravel needs to recache actually

In my case I had to run php artisan optimize:clear in order to make everything to work again.

This might be possible that your view is present even though it shows the error. So to solve this issue you need to stop the server and run this command on the terminal.

php artisan config:cache

then restart the server

Somewhat embarrassingly, I discovered another rather trivial cause for this error: I had a full stop in the filename of my blade file (eg resources/views/pages/user.invitation.blade.php). It really did make sense at the time!

I was trying to reference it like so: view('pages.user.invitation')

but of course Laravel was looking for the file at resources/views/pages/user/invitation.blade.php and throwing the view not found.

Hope this helps someone.

Just in the controller call

return View('index');

without

::make

I was having the same error, but in my case the view was called seeProposal.

I changed it to seeproposal and it worked fine...

It was not being an issue while testing locally, but apparently Laravel makes a distinction with capital letters running in production. So for those who have views with capital letters, I would change all of them to lowercase.

In my case I was calling View::make('User/index'), where in fact my view was in user directory and it was called index.blade.php. Ergo after I changed it to View@make('user.index') all started working.

As @deanchiu said it may happen when you move the whole project to another path or server.

But in my case I had no access to command line on server and running following commands BEFORE I upload my project helped me.

> php artisan route:clear
> php artisan config:clear

check your blade syntax on the view that said not found i just fix mine

@if
@component
@endif 
@endcomponent

to

@if
@component
@endcomponent
@endif 

Use this on your cmd then run your project.

php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan controller:cache
php artisan optimize:clear

Create the index.blade.php file in the views folder, that should be all

If your path to view is true first try to config:cache and route:cache if nothing changed check your resource path permission are true.

example: your can do it in ubuntu with :

sudo chgrp -R www-data resources/views
sudo usermod -a -G www-data $USER

I had the same error. I created a directory under views direcotry named users and created an index.blade.php file in it. When calling this file you should write users.index to indicate your path. Or just create index.blade.php file under views. hope this will help someone who gets the same problem

In addition to these answers, if your view is in an unusual directory for the project, you'll have to add the following to /config/view.php

    'paths' => [
    resource_path('views'),
    resource_path('../path/from/project/route/to/view')
],

If you are not accessing files as root user you shall change access of files

Change Access group to Access files

Also, others to Access files it's work for me

If you are using GIT in your project don't forget make git add . and commit before of move the project to another side and also don't forget clean the cache.

I'm using Laravel 10, in this time being, and I resolve this when renaming my index.blade.php into different file name such as home.blade.php

I tried using:

php artisan optimize:clear

Seems it doesn't work, so I renamed index.blade.php into home.blade.php

And on the controller

I replaced:

public function showIndex()
{
    return view('index');
}

Into:

public function showIndex()
{
    return view('home');
}

And inside the route on web.php: In my case it's:

Route::view('/', [HomeController::class, 'showIndex'])->name('home.index');

I hope this works as a solution to this error.

I did this on cpanel Server : after i uploaded index.blade.php , nothing changed So i compress the file (into zip format) then i uploaded on the place, extract it... and bam!

You can also try if all else failed to manually delete all files under:

bootstrap/cache 

Then running:
php artisan config:cache

In my case, Laravel 5.3

Route::get('/', function(){
    return View('test');
});

test.blade.php was not rendering but some other views were rendering on localhost via XAMPP on mac. Upon running artisan server, the view started rendering for same url over XAMPP.

php artisan serve

To avoid any such scenario, one should test the Laravel apps with artisan server only.
