title: PHP artisan serv not working after composer dump
body: <p>I have managed to "fix" the issue, but to tell you the truth I am not sure why it was an issue in the first place and what I did in order to fix it which is why I am posting the question:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Question:</strong></p>
  
  <p>When I was updating my composer.json file to include:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"files": [
      "app/helpers.php"
      ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After running (in terminal):  </p>
  
  <pre><code>composer dump-autoload -o
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>php artisan serv no longer initializes a server - there is no error message - it just goes to the next ready prompt.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Solution I used:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>composer update --no-scripts
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then</p>
  
  <pre><code>composer update
  </code></pre>
