Unable to start fresh laravel Project. Artisan exists but cannot run artisan serve

Question

Im trying to start a fresh project and am following this guide:

php version: 8.1.9

Composer version: 1.9.0

I'm able to create a project and have tried a few things like installing, updating, updating -- no script, clearing the dump, but it all turns out to me not being able to run php artisan serve

most errors point to the auto load on the fresh load but whenever i've composer dump-autoload and tried and updated and tried this does not solve anything. I've followed this source and cannot find any answers for my solution

Here are my reproduction steps: visit the laravel install page. create basic application using composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app cd into the app

composer update composer install

when running php artisan serve error recieved:

PHP Warning:

require(/someapp/vendor/autoload.php): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /someapp/artisan on line 18

after running composer dump-autoload

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Class "Illuminate\Foundation\Application" not found in /Documents/someapp/bootstrap/app.php:14```

Inside the application folder remove vendor folder and run composer install and after complete install run php artisan serve — Khaled Hassan, Oct 24 '22 at 20:44
Maybe do a `composer clear-cache` and then do what Khaled said. — Techno, Oct 24 '22 at 20:56
Im still running into: failed to load `/vendor/autoload.php' — Pwntastic, Oct 24 '22 at 23:05
Composer v1.9.0 is horribly outdated - it was released in 2019, more than a year before PHP 8 was initially released. Please update Composer (even in the v1 line, there are more recent versions) and check this again — Nico Haase, Oct 25 '22 at 06:35
update your composer and try running your application in some other directory than the `C:` drive — Pushkraj Jori, Oct 25 '22 at 08:16
Did you got any error on console while making laravel project? — Talha Maqsood, Oct 25 '22 at 13:05
run `composer self-update` first. then remove the directory you `cd`'ed into and re-create the project. — hakre, Oct 28 '22 at 13:14
