Jwt-auth: "Method factory does not exist."

[zagreusinoz]

I'm running Laravel 5.5.7 with 1.0.0-rc.1 of jwt-auth. When I try to get a token I get a "Method factory does not exist." error.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Here is the error from Whoops:

    Route::post('me', 'Auth\AuthController@me');

I love it when you work for hours on an issue, and literally 30 seconds after posting a request for help you solve the issue! :)

I ran php artisan config:cache and now I can get the token.
