Laravel - call to undefined method illuminate\Foundation\Application::bindshared()

Question

I installed codeception and same other packages. before I install them, I can run composer update or php artisan normally without having any errors. But once I installed them suddenly when I run composer update or php artisan it results in this bindshared() error and I've no idea how to fix this.

here's my composer.json file :

{
"name": "laravel/laravel",
"description": "The Laravel Framework.",
"keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
"license": "MIT",

        "database"
    ],

    }
},

        "tests/TestCase.php"
    ]
},

        "php -r \"copy('.env.example', '.env');\""
    ],

    ],
    "post-install-cmd": [

    ],
    "pre-update-cmd": [

    ],
    "post-update-cmd": [
        "php artisan optimize"
    ]
},
"config": {
    "preferred-install": "dist"
}}

here's my app.php file :

Does anyone know how to fix this and why this error shows up?

Answer 1

You have to use laravelcollective/html instead of Html/Illuminate.

First remove/comment out the following lines from app.php

'Form' => Illuminate\Html\FormFacade::class,
'Html' => Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade::class,

and

 Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,

Now add this in your compoer.json, also remove html/illuminate

{
    "require": {
    "laravelcollective/html": "^5.2"
    }
}

Then add:

First remove/comment out the following lines from app.php

'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,
'Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,

and

 Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,

Then composer update.

Now add back or remove comment from the app.php

Do a composer dump-autoload.
