Problem
As mentioned in
489c9f9, if
storage_path('framework/cache')
doesn't exist,php artisan cache:clear
fails with the following error:This happens regardless of the cache driver used, including
array
.Solution
Practically all cache drivers except
file
work just fine without theframework/cache
directory, so it's common to have deployments where said directory doesn't exist. Clearing the cache should still work, especially since anarray
orredis
cache should have nothing to do with the filesystem.I've added appropriate tests and took the liberty to clean the whole test case up a bit.
