if you not changed anything in the handler. copy paste this file:

https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/master/app/Exceptions/Handler.php

I'm not using laravel. I still have an 5 years old application in my dead repository. Sad.

@spelbreker It was missing the Exceptions folder and also the Handler.php file.
After created these worked pretty well.
Thanks a lot!
