This problem occurs when you do not define the package path in bootstrap/providers.php.
Did you define the package path?

I do not have it there, however the package has it in its composer.json:

"extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "providers": [
                "With\\A\\Valid\\Provider"
            ]
        }
    },

        }
    },

This composer.json is correct.

I mean, for Laravel to recognize your package, you need to define the ValidServiceProvider path in providers.php.

Hey there, thanks for reporting this issue.

We'll need more info and/or code to debug this further. Can you please create a repository with the command below, commit the code that reproduces the issue as one separate commit on the main/master branch and share the repository here?

Please make sure that you have the latest version of the Laravel installer in order to run this command. Please also make sure you have both Git & the GitHub CLI tool properly set up.

laravel new bug-report --github="--public"

Do not amend and create a separate commit with your custom changes. After you've posted the repository, we'll try to reproduce the issue.

Thanks!

@crynobone I don't think this issue is related to Laravel, but to the terminal itself.

The output of this:

echo With\A\Valid\Provider

Will be:

WithAValidProvider

The correct thing to do is use one of this way:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="With\A\Valid\Provider"

or

php artisan vendor:publish --provider=With\\A\\Valid\\Provider

Since I don't see --provider in the Laravel docs, I don't expect to have a PR to adapt the documentation with these examples.

I feel dumb 😅. Yes, that was totally the issue! Sorry for wasting your time!

edit: however, I do find the error misleading. i use the provider parameter, but i get a error message mentioning a tag that can not be found.
