how to properly remove package?
I installed: composer require waavi/translation 2.3.x
but i decided i didnt want it so i did: composer remove waavi/translation 2.3.x
now everytime i do something with composer or artisan i get these errors:
$ composer update
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Nothing to install or update

$ composer dump-autoload

$ php artisan cache:clear
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError]
Class 'Waavi\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider' not found
the only reference i can find is in a cache dir:
grep -Ri 'waavi' ./* |grep -v logs
./bootstrap/cache/config.php: 19 => 'Waavi\\Translation\\TranslationServiceProvider',
i suspect there must be a command to clear that cache file but which command?
besides that, what is the proper way to remove packages without running into this mess?
Level 14
Try composer du
Nevermind you tried that. There might be something failing with the new autodiscovering in 5.5, try to remove the reference manually
Level 3
as in directly edit the file: ./bootstrap/cache/config.php
?
Level 2
No, use the command php artisan config:clear for that.
Level 3
i did but that fails:
$ php artisan config:clear
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError]
Class 'Waavi\Translation\TranslationServiceProvider' not found
Level 3
what do you exactly mean by 'remove the reference manually'?
Level 3
ok, i removed that line from "bootstrap/cache/config.php" and now i can run my commands again without error.
next i need to do is to remove the package entirely is rollback the migration.. but also this gives me errors:
$ php artisan migrate:rollback
Migration not found: 2016_06_02_124154_increase_locale_length
Migration not found: 2013_07_25_145958_create_translations_table
Migration not found: 2013_07_25_145943_create_languages_table
why does this fail?
or am i missing something?
or how do i do this manually so i at least can move on with my project?
really appreciate any help.
Level 3
for anyone who finds this thread,
i resolved the rollback error with the --path option like so:
php artisan migrate:rollback --path=vendor/waavi/translation/database/migrations/
that is, just point 'path' to the migrations folder in the vendor dir. (in case package was already removed i suggest temporarily reinstall it, then rollback and finally remove package)
Level 1
Thanks @psyopus, was struggling with this. Reinstalled the waavi package, cleared the cache, rolled back migrations and then unistalled

BTW @xenothan, you can completely remove a package by running
composer remove vendor/package-name
composer update
If laravel version < 5.5 then you have to delete the ServiceProvider for the package from config/app.php providers array.
Level 4
You can do this by either following way,
1). remove the lines for any package in composer.json file.
2). run command composer update
3). Package will automatically removed by composer
or
a). composer remove vendor/your_package_name
b). composer update

Make sure it's properly installed with composer and clear your bootstrap/cache/config into your provider array and remove applicable your package name and rearrange your key value.
Remove this your_key_number => 'Waavi\\Translation\\TranslationServiceProvider',
