Uncaught Error: Class 'Dotenv\Environment\DotenvFactory' not found

I have no idea why this keeps coming up, I've tried everything I can find from others who've had this issue (albeit in other packages). The issue triggers in: vendor/illuminate/support/helpers.php:646

Stack trace:

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I found a work around... I was using the latest php 7.1.28, which constantly caused the issue above. I downgraded php to 5.6.40 and re-installed and everything worked. I noticed there was a mention of issues with 7.2, but the issue above seems to start at some point in the 7.1.x series

Open composer.json go to this line "vlucas/phpdotenv": "^2.3", and change 2.3 to 3

Run composer update

Open bootstrap/app.php and change this line

$env = new Dotenv(__DIR__ . '/../');

to this one

$env = Dotenv::create(__DIR__ . '/../');
