No hint path defined for [notifications].

Hi Guys!

I'm quite new to Laravel so be gentle. I've been following a tutorial for building a simple CMS in Laravel: https://code.tutsplus.com/courses/build-a-cms-with-laravel/lessons/securing-the-back-end-part-2

I've come unstuck and the password reset stage of the process (I'm not sure you guys will be able to see the video there, but I'll explain anyway). The problem being this tutorial was written for Laravel 5.0 and I'm using 5.3.

Anyway! I've gotten as far as trying to get Laravel to send out the email which contains the link to reset your password and I'm running into an error. As far as I can tell my routes are ok:

//Resetting a users password
Route::get('password/email', [ 'as' => 'auth.passwords.email', 'uses' => 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm']);
Route::post('password/email', [ 'as' => 'auth.passwords.email', 'uses' => 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail']);

Route::get('password/reset', [ 'as' => 'auth.passwords.reset', 'uses' => 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm']);
Route::post('password/reset', [ 'as' => 'auth.passwords.reset', 'uses' => 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset']);

I'm using the standard password reset form that comes with the make:auth package and posting to: /password/email with the users email address.

Instantly after that I get the following error:

I've tried loads of things, one of my idea was that the view templates were just missing so I found and ran php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-notifications

This seems to create the templates in the correct place : \resources\views\vendor\notifications

I then ran: php artisan config:cache which cleared and rebuilt the cache successfully. Still the same error.

I feel as though it's some fundamental knowledge I'm missing that somebody will probably know the answer to quite quickly? What am I doing wrong?

I'm using the unedited ForgotPasswordController.php and ResetPasswordController.php that come with Laravel.

This has been driving me nuts for hours! Any suggestions would be awesome :)

Thank you in advance.
