Question

I wanted to use Form and HTML classes in Laravel 4, so I went to Meido’s GitHub pages for the HTML and Form ports. I followed the instructions to the letter. I added these lines to my app’s providers:

'Meido\Form\FormServiceProvider',
'Meido\HTML\HTMLServiceProvider',

I added these lines to my aliases:

'Form' => 'Meido\Form\FormFacade',
'HTML' => 'Meido\HTML\HTMLFacade',

This is `composer.json’

{
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
        "meido/form": "1.1.*",
         "meido/html": "1.1.*"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "app/commands",
            "app/controllers",
            "app/models",
            "app/database/migrations",
            "app/tests/TestCase.php"
        ]
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

I ran composer install as instructed. Composer told me to run update so I did. Composer updated a number of dependencies, including some of the core of Laravel 4. My app is now completely broken. I just get a white screen on any page. I don’t get any error messages to debug the problem. Even the view source is blank. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Laravel 4 is still undergoing development, and I’ve found that the updated dependencies won’t always work correctly without a fresh install of some of the files.

The main files that affected by this will be:

/app/config/app.php
/start.php

I’d recommend grabbing a fresh copy of these files from the repository and replacing them in your project, then using composer to update again and regenerate your autoload files (composer dump-autoload).

Hope this helps!
