Does anyone have the same issue/bug? I made the upgrade by the official Laravel guide...
The connection is okay, and the database works well in the application

I'm experiencing a similar error with the meta command after upgrading to Laravel 9 but it's complaining about a different class:
Class 'Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorInterface' not found.

I found that allowing package auto-discovery made the problem go away, don't know why that might be but it might lead to the cause of the problem. Do you have it disabled as well?

[alpfilho]

i'm experiencing the same issue, but with Class 'Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorInterface' not found in Laravel 9 and Php 8.1

[nztim]

Steps to reproduce my problem (PHP 8.1):

1. composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel
2. Edit composer.json: "dont-discover": ["*"]
3. composer require --dev barryvdh/laravel-ide-helper
4. Add conditional registration to AppServiceProvider.php copied from docs
5. Add generate and meta commands to composer.json post-update-cmd section as per docs
6. Run composer update: meta command produces the error Uncaught ReflectionException: Class 'Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorInterface

If you do all the above but allow package discovery then there is no error and the meta file is created normally.

I'm assuming this is the same issue as the OP, if it's not then I can create a new topic.

I found this issue too after upgrading to Laravel 9.
After some searching I found a solution in a comment to the issue in the Carbon repository.
briannesbitt/Carbon#2536 (comment)

I added the following to my bootstrap/app.php file. The problem is now solved
