Symfony3: Fatal error: Class 'AppKernel' not found in .\bin\console

just started working on a project, I ran composer update and was greeted with a exception when trying to clear cache.

When I try to run php bin\console server:run I am greeted with this message:

php bin\console server:run

For some reason, I had to explicitly add src/Kernel.php to autoload. So my composer.json autoload section became: 

"autoload" : {
        "files": ["app/AppKernel.php",
                  "src/Kernel.php"],
        "psr-4": { "": "src/"},
      "classmap": [
            "app/AppKernel.php",
            "app/AppCache.php"
    ]
        }

After adding this, running composer dump-autoload did the trick.

There are two possible reasons for this.

First your autoloader is trashed or can't find files

composer dump-autoload

Second reason could be, that your var directory isn't writable in which the cache file for symfony is placed. Just check the permissions. Also take a close look into the log files. Maybe it tells you what the real Problem is. (Like an issue with syntax etc.)

Another strong possibility, particularly if the project has been updated from a v2.7 project (or before) is that the AppKernel is just not known to Composer. It is now best practice to not manually require/include the file, (so those lines are removed from web/app_*.php, and bin/console.php). but instead have it autoloaded. However, this requires a line in Composer so that it can be found. Only the composer autoloader would ever be included manually, which can then load everything else.

"autoload": {
    "files": ["app/AppKernel.php"],
    "psr-4": {  // etc...
