Resolving the 'Class does not exist' error in Laravel 10

Question

I'm new to Laravel 10, and I recently installed Jetstream. When I run php artisan route:list in the console, I get the following error: Class "verified" does not exist.

I do have verified in my Kernel:

protected $middlewareAliases = [
    ...
    ...
    'verified' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\EnsureEmailIsVerified::class,
];

in my route in web.php i have this

Route::group(['middleware' => 'verified', 'web'],function(){
  Route::get('/dashboard', [DashboardController::class, 'index'])->name('dashboard');
});

in jetstream.php there is this 'middleware' => ['auth', 'verified', 'web'],

and this is the error i see on console

   ReflectionException 

  Class "verified" does not exist

I don't know what I'm missing or how to fix this.

1. Clear you caches

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear

2. Ensure that your Verified middleware is correctly assigned in your routes.

Route::middleware('verified') - > group(function() {
  // Your routes
});

3. sometimes the composer autoload files might be out of date. run below command.

composer dump-autoload
