php too few arguments to function,Laravel: Too few arguments to function Illuminate\\Support\\Manage...

I try to test emails with mailtrap and Laravel 5.4. I get this error:

Type error: Too few arguments to function

Illuminate\Support\Manager::createDriver(), 0 passed in

C:\Users***\Documents\www\***\backend\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Support\Manager.php on line 88 and exactly 1 expected

I already tried to config:cache, config:clearetc.

Here is what php artisan tinkerreturns when I echo env('MAIL_DRIVER')

smtp

Here is my .env file

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

MAIL_HOST=mailtrap.io

MAIL_PORT=2525

MAIL_USERNAME=*********

MAIL_PASSWORD=*********

MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

And here is my Mail function:

Mail::send('email.verify', compact('validation_code'), function($message) {

$message->to(Input::get('email'), Input::get('username'))

->subject('Verify your email address');

});

Any ideas ?

Thanks a lot :)
