Upon returning to a project after a week without making any changes, my php artisan command suddenly stopped working. Strangely, this issue only affects this specific project, as other projects are running fine with php artisan. When attempting to execute artisan commands, I encountered the following error:
[InvalidArgumentException] Please provide valid cache pathPS C:\Users\Artur\PhpstormProjects\stuttard.de> php artisan serve
InvalidArgumentException

This discussion suggests creating three folders within the storage\framework directory:
- sessions
- views
- cache
However, these folders already exist in my project:

Even after deleting and recreating those folders, the issue persists.
What steps should I take next?
Edit:
Deleting the vendor folder and running composer install leads to the same InvalidArgumentException during the process of executing
@php artisan package:discover --ansiPS C:\Users\Artur\PhpstormProjects\stuttard.de> composer install
