[FIXED] Class 'Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOMySql\Driver' not found

Issue

I am learning Laravel 5 and ran into an error when renaming a column in a table.

Created a migration:
public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('messages', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->renameColumn('age', 'agee');
        });
    }

I send a command for migration and I get an error:

In MySqlConnection.php line 65:

  Class 'Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOMySql\Driver' not found

Tried reinstalling in this way:

1. deleted record "doctrine/dbal": "^3.1", from composer.json file
2. typed in the console: composer update
3. typed in the console: composer require doctrine/dbal

The package was reinstalled, but the error persisted. How to fix?

Solution
