"Class web does not exist" with Laravel Chatter

Question

I've recently updated my app from Laravel 5.1 to 5.3.

Soon after this, I tried installing chatter.

I followed the instructions, found here: https://github.com/thedevdojo/chatter

save for that instead of adding the yields to master.blade.php(I don't have one), I added them to templates/default.blade.php (essentially the same thing).

After following all the steps, I went to check out the page localhost/forums, and it returned this error:

ReflectionException in Container.php line 749: 

Class web does not exist

What's causing this?

Answer 1

Make sure you have $middlewareGroups in your app/Http/Kernel.php.
Or add it from app/Http/Kernel.php at line 28. If already there be sure it have

\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,

in web .



You should also check and add

'bindings' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,

in $routeMiddleware array.
