laravel update from 5.1 to 5.2 composer update err

Question

I am trying to update laravel from 5.1 to 5.2 . I followed the instruction as according to update doc but I am getting this error when running composer udpate:

Error Output: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Foundation\Application::bindShared() in /my_app/vendor/illuminate/html/HtmlSe rviceProvider.php on line 36

I've looked up this issue and saw that people were getting this issue when updating to version 5.1 and saw that the method bindShared has been replaced with singleton(), but I don't want to mess with vendor files. Here is my config/app.php providers and aliases arrays:

'providers' => [

    /*
     * Laravel Framework Service Providers...
     */
    Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class,
    Illuminate\Broadcasting\BroadcastServiceProvider::class,

],

any idea what I should do to fix this? I started with a 5.1 version install of laravel.

Answer 1

I think you need to use https://laravelcollective.com/docs/5.2/html instead of illuminate/html because it's now out of date in Laravel 5.2.

Answer 2

The "illuminate/html" component is no more supported by Laravel and is not compatible with the 5.2 version.

You can replace it with laravelcollective/html

You have to:

• remove the reference of "illuminate/html": "^5.0@dev", from composer.json

• add "laravelcollective/html": "5.1.*" (or the version you want)

• run composer update to update the dependecies (this will remove your "illuminate/html" component and install the "laravelcollective/html" component

Now you have to replace your HTML service provider with:

 'providers' => [
    Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,
  ],

and the facades:

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