I am using a third party library and locally, I installed everything using the steps that they provided.

  1. I ran composer require on the package and ran an update. This installed into the vendor folder.
  2. I then added the path into the provider in config/app and also as an aliases..
  3. I ran php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\LaravelAnalytics\LaravelAnalyticsServiceProvider" the config file created successfully and I had no problems.

  4. I then uploaded to the production environment and kept on getting Class 'LaravelAnalytics' not found and I can't seem to figure out the problem..

  5. I ran php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\LaravelAnalytics\LaravelAnalyticsServiceProvider"

But I kept on getting: Nothing to publish for tag []. which has lead me to thinking that this could be the problem since the package is not published.

My local environment is Ubuntu and my production Environment is CentOS.. If I try to CD into that directory on my production environment it says cannot find.

Could this therefore be a problem with the case sensitive on how I am adding my providers that is not picking up this package?
