You need to publish the default configuration, see the README:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\LaravelIdeHelper\IdeHelperServiceProvider" --tag=config

Please report back if it then works for you, thanks

also clear config after doing this: php artisan config:cache then run php artisan ide-helper:generate again

Please paste the content of you config/ide-helper.php

also clear config after doing this
