The script tried to access a property on an incomplete object

[benjivm]

In the process of switching from Larapacks to DirectoryTree and failing at the composer require, I've tried blowing away my vendor/ and re-installing with no luck:

Generating optimized autoload files
composer/package-versions-deprecated: Generating version class...
composer/package-versions-deprecated: ...done generating version class
> Illuminate\Foundation\ComposerScripts::postAutoloadDump
> @php artisan package:discover --ansi

   ErrorException

Please ensure that the class definition "Larapacks\Authorization\Permission" of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ unserialize() gets called or provide an autoloader to load the class definition

Hi @benjivm,

Are you using dev-master or did you composer update to v1.0.0?

[stevebauman]

Also I would try flushing cache and try running again. I'm assuming your cache contains old Larapacks permission objects and it is failing to unserialize them.

It was my Redis cache, thank you, should add that to my normal troubleshooting steps!
