.../views/vendor/backpack/logmanager" directory does not exist.

Bug report

What I did:

php artisan view:clear php artisan view:cache

What I expected to happen:

refresh cache

What happened:

Error: The "/Volumes/CaseSensitive/lucas57/resources/views/vendor/backpack/logmanager" directory does not exist.

What I've already tried to fix it:

created empty directory ../views/vendor/backpack/logmanager

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version:

latest

Root cause analysis:

I believe github (and possibly git) will not allow an empty folder to be checked into a repository. It seems very likely that the developer's original test environment would have this empty directory.

An easy fix would be to create the directory and put a readme in it. I will attempt to do a pull request for this.

Ok unfortunately I don't understand enough about package management / composer to know what folder in this repo would ultimately translate to projectroot/resources/views/vendor/backpack/logmanager

I tried looking at the crud repo since I have a crud folder but had no luck there.

So this may be an easy fix or it may require a code change to check for the existence of the directory first (which is hopefully also easy)

Hi @jackfruh ,

You're totally right, thank you for reporting this and trying to fix it - we were totally unaware this package broke php artisan view:cache.

I believe the Laravel command itself tested that the folder exists in the past, but it no longer does so in the current version. So I've just pushed a hot fix, we check for this ourselves and no longer use that folder for views, if it doesn't exist. This should be a non-breaking fix, so a composer update should fix it for you.

I also discovered the same issue in BackupManager will push an update for that one shortly.

Thanks a lot, cheers!
