La causa di questo errore può essere rintracciata da Illuminate \ View \ Compilers \ Compiler.php
public function __construct(Filesystem $files, $cachePath)
{
if (! $cachePath) {
throw new InvalidArgumentException('Please provide a valid cache path.');
}
$this->files = $files;
$this->cachePath = $cachePath;
}
Il costruttore è invocato da BladeCompiler in Illuminate \ View \ ViewServiceProvider
/**
* Register the Blade engine implementation.
*
* @param \Illuminate\View\Engines\EngineResolver $resolver
* @return void
*/
public function registerBladeEngine($resolver)
{
// The Compiler engine requires an instance of the CompilerInterface, which in
// this case will be the Blade compiler, so we'll first create the compiler
// instance to pass into the engine so it can compile the views properly.
$this->app->singleton('blade.compiler', function () {
return new BladeCompiler(
$this->app['files'], $this->app['config']['view.compiled']
);
});
$resolver->register('blade', function () {
return new CompilerEngine($this->app['blade.compiler']);
});
}
Quindi, risalendo ulteriormente, il seguente codice:
$this->app['config']['view.compiled']
si trova generalmente nel tuo /config/view.php, se usi la struttura standard laravel.
<?php
return [
/*

| View Storage Paths

|
| Most templating systems load templates from disk. Here you may specify

*/
'paths' => [
resource_path('views'),
],
/*

*/
'compiled' => realpath(storage_path('framework/views')),
];
realpath (...) restituisce false, se il percorso non esiste. Quindi, invocando
'Please provide a valid cache path.' error.
Pertanto, per sbarazzarsi di questo errore, quello che puoi fare è assicurarlo
storage_path('framework/views')
o
/storage/framework/views
esiste :)
