I was seeing the same behavior. I got around it by clearing out all caches and recreating the config cache.

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

  • When you go through setting up the maatwebsite/excel package in your project, it adds some new config under config/excel.php. For me, I was seeing the behavior described in the question above because I had cached a version of the config before the excel config got added. That's why when I cleared the caches and recreated the config cache it fixed the problem for me. You may not be having a problem with the config the way I was. – Jake Killpack Feb 22 '21 at 01:29

I was using the package with inertia-vue and using an <a></a> in place of the <Link></Link> tag worked the trick
