You put `"/"`, which usually means 'root of the filesystem'. If you meant 'the current directory', try `"./"`. — castis, Feb 10 '19 at 21:52

I have faced this problem before and the solution is some files were missing from the application they're deleted "I do not know how they are deleted lol" but I compared my current project with the previous one, and I figured out that the config folder is missing, then I copied the config from the previous project and the problem solved.
