compiled.php not found after php artisan optimize in Laravel 5.4

Tried to run php artisan optimize but compiled.php is not found in bootstrap/cache directory in fresh install of Laravel 5.4

Tried both php artisan optimize and php artisan optimize --force with same result. The output of the command was

D:\xampp\laravel\laravel5.4
λ php artisan optimize --force
Generating optimized class loader
The compiled services file has been removed.

I changed my .env file to set environment to production and set debug to false.

Here is my .env file

APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug
APP_URL=http://localhost

Am I missing anything?

@hengcs As of version 5.4 the compiled file generation has been removed.
