I understand that there are several similar questions here but none of them fixed my problem.

I'm trying to add the HtmlServiceProvider with Laravel 5 on Ubuntu 14.04. I keep getting the following error:

dl@dl-VirtualBox:~/l5todo$ composer update
> php artisan clear-compiled
PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider' not found in /home/dl/l5todo/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/ProviderRepository.php on line 146



  [Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]  
  Class 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider' not found    



Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the pre-update-cmd event returned with an error



  [RuntimeException]                                                                       
  Error Output: PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider' not found i  
  n /home/dl/l5todo/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/ProviderRepository  
  .php on line 146

My vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/ProviderRepository
.php looks like:

   /**
 * Create a new provider instance.
 *
 * @param  string  $provider
 * @return \Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider
 */
public function createProvider($provider)
{
    return new $provider($this->app);//line 146
}

My /.../config/app.php looks like:

'providers' => [

    Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class, //newly added

   ......
],
'aliases' => [

    'App'       => Illuminate\Support\Facades\App::class,
    'Artisan'   => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Artisan::class,
    'Auth'      => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth::class,
    'Blade'     => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade::class,
    'Bus'       => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Bus::class,
    'Cache'     => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Cache::class,
    ......
  'Form' => Illuminate\Html\FormFacade::class,
    'Html' => Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade::class,


],

In my compose.Jason

"require": {
    "php": ">=5.5.9",
    "laravel/framework": "5.1.*",

    "Illuminate/Html": "~5.0"
},

Any help would be really appreciated. Sorry again if this question seems duplicated to you.

composer update works if I remove provider and aliases I added. But after I add them back in, same error appears.

I'm sorry for asking really stupid questions but they do have to be asked... 1) did you do composer install (or composer update)? 2) did you do composer dump-autoload afterwards? – Joel Hinz
Yes, composer dump-autoload works fine but composer install and composer update I got the class not found exception. – Daolin
is composer.json case sensitive? In other words, does "illuminate/html" make a difference? – Chris Burton
Also, you should run a composer install/update before adding the service provider in app.php. – Chris Burton
Yes, remove the service provider along with the Facades. After composer update, add them back in. – Chris Burton
