I have strange problem. After upgrading from 5.2.39 to 5.2.40 or 5.2.41 I get Throw exception if view cache path is empty.
I cannot revert the change - after upgrade all Composer or Artisan comments fail I guess is related to the change in Laravel 5.2.40.
How I can fix this?
A problem like this was fixed here but the solution doesn't work in my case.
Dirty fix
Only preemption for future damage. I still cannot fix the damaged app.
I replaced laravel/framework": "5.2.*",
with "laravel/framework": "5.2.39",
to avoid breaking up this and other apps I have built. After the change the composer update
would not disrupt my app.
