Error The bootstrap cache directory must be present and writable error after update

Question

I used 'composer update', which updated a few packages. During the updating process the website still functions. However, after it says 'The compiled services file has been removed', the website doesn't load and instead says:

Exception in ProviderRepository.php line 190:
The bootstrap/cache directory must be present and writable.

How to fix it?

Hello @kartik,

Try this after you have run the composer update:

php artisan cache:clear

Hope it helps!!
Thank You!!
