Laravel 5 Class 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\FormFacade' not found

Question

Ok, this is driving me mad. I'm trying to include forms functionalities with FormFacade with Laravel 5, but I keep getting this error:

Class 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\FormFacade' not found

I'll write down what I have done:

• After laravel 5 installation, I added FormFacade to laravel.

• Updated the app.php file with the following lines:

  Providers:
  'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider',
  
  
  
   Aliases: 
  'Form' => 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\FormFacade',
  'Html' => 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\HtmlFacade',
  

• Then, I checked my composer.json file:

  "require": {
      "laravel/framework": "5.0.*",
      "illuminate/html": "~5.0"
  },
  

• Did a composer update

• Checked if I actually downloaded the files

All of this is done, but still I cannot find whats going wrong. I searched for help but nothing seems to work.

Search effort:

• Laracasts tutorial

• Class 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider' not found Laravel 5

• http://tutsnare.com/class-form-or-html-not-found-in-laravel-5/

Still no luck. Have I missed something?

PS: I'm running on windows.

Those aliases are wrong. You should use the facades from Illuminate\Html:

'Html' => 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade',
'Form' => 'Illuminate\Html\FormFacade',
