$info is an undefined variable?

[rtd62]

Hi! I just watched Social network in Laravel 5.3 and Vuejs 2.0 #5 - Updating user's profile and I reached an error at the end of the video. I am working in Laravel 5.3.31. I followed the instructions explicitly and followed along as much as I could. I think it has something to do with {{ $info->location }} and {{ $info->about }} in edit.blade.php, which would tell me that $info is an undefined variable, am I right? Any help would be much appreciated! 🍻

edit.blade.php threw this error at me:

ErrorException in 2a1e7b367cf4a444165b54ce29f9e8cab797dfa4.php line 12:
Undefined variable: info (View: /var/www/html/site-name/resources/views/profiles/edit.blade.php
)

Here are the files below:

edit.blade.php

@extends('layouts.sessions')

@section('title', 'Edit Profile')

@section('content')
    <div class="container">
        <div class="col l6 center">

                <form action="{{ route('profile.update') }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                    {{ csrf_field() }}
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label for="location">Location</label>
                        <input type="text" name="location" value="{{ $info->location }}" class="form-control" required>
                    </div>

                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">

@rtd62 You can try clearing your cache views by running php artisan view:clear

@astritzeqiri Clearing overall app cache and using view:clear had no effect.

So it turns out there's something monumentally screwed up in my mysql database. I ran this on a fresh install using sqlite and it worked fine.
