getting "The bootstrap/cache directory must be present and writable" after each deployment

php artisan cache:clear

And make sure folder permission is set correctly.

cache clear is clearing all my cache right? is obviously not the solution, i am talking about production environment where its a bad idea of clearing the cache

And make sure folder permission is set correctly. Report Spam Icon

yap that's the solution but I am asking why envoyer doesn't do it for me as its should be, so I think there is some deeper bug\problem here

i have same problem .when i run single method of test class throwing this error

In PackageManifest.php line 168:
                                                               
  The bootstrap/cache directory must be present and writable.

I am having the same issue on Laravel 6 when running tests, Laravel 5.8 is fine.

Hey guys, I'm having the same problem with Laravel 6, PackageManifest bootstrap/cache ..., where Laravel 5.8 works fine. I'm using laradock with Phpstorm and I noticed that the phpunit.xml file of 5.8 differs from 6.0. I found that 6.0 included new elements inside its <phpunit><php></php></phpunit> tag

Laravel 5.8

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit backupGlobals="false">
    # irrelevant code
    <php>
        <server name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
        <server name="BCRYPT_ROUNDS" value="4"/>
        <server name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/>
        <server name="MAIL_DRIVER" value="array"/>
        <server name="QUEUE_CONNECTION" value="sync"/>
        <server name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>

        <server name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/>
        <server name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/>
    </php>
</phpunit>

Laravel 6

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<phpunit backupGlobals="false">
    # irrelevant code ...
    <php>
        <server name="APP_ENV" value="testing"/>
        <server name="BCRYPT_ROUNDS" value="4"/>
        <server name="CACHE_DRIVER" value="array"/>
        <server name="MAIL_DRIVER" value="array"/>
        <server name="QUEUE_CONNECTION" value="sync"/>
        <server name="SESSION_DRIVER" value="array"/>
        <server name="APP_CONFIG_CACHE" value="bootstrap/cache/config.phpunit.php"/>
        <server name="APP_SERVICES_CACHE" value="bootstrap/cache/services.phpunit.php"/>
        <server name="APP_PACKAGES_CACHE" value="bootstrap/cache/packages.phpunit.php"/>
        <server name="APP_ROUTES_CACHE" value="bootstrap/cache/routes.phpunit.php"/>
        <server name="APP_EVENTS_CACHE" value="bootstrap/cache/events.phpunit.php"/>

        <server name="DB_CONNECTION" value="sqlite"/>
        <server name="DB_DATABASE" value=":memory:"/>
    </php>
</phpunit>

A temporary workaround I found is commenting out the APP_* server names:

<!--        <server name="APP_CONFIG_CACHE" value="bootstrap/cache/config.phpunit.php"/>-->
<!--        <server name="APP_SERVICES_CACHE" value="bootstrap/cache/services.phpunit.php"/>-->
<!--        <server name="APP_PACKAGES_CACHE" value="bootstrap/cache/packages.phpunit.php"/>-->
<!--        <server name="APP_ROUTES_CACHE" value="bootstrap/cache/routes.phpunit.php"/>-->
<!--        <server name="APP_EVENTS_CACHE" value="bootstrap/cache/events.phpunit.php"/>-->

I'm not really sure what is affected by commenting this out. If anyone can explain what these files are for and how to generate them (since they seem to be missing in the bootstrap/cache folder) or how to properly use them it would be greatly appreciated.
