laravel

Laravel new command error

I did the following commands:

composer global require "laravel/installer=~1.1"

and

set PATH=%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin

But when I try to do:

laravel new blog

I get the following error:

Notice: Undefined variable: output in C:\Users\****\AooDara\Roaming\Composer\vendor\laravel\installer\src\NewCommand.php on line 55
    Fatal error: Call to a member function writeln() on null in C:\Users\****\AooDara\Roaming\Composer\vendor\laravel\installer\src\NewCommand.php on line 55

Any idea of what went wrong?

Solution

  • Seems like you already have a directory called 'blog' in your application directory. Try creating a laravel app with different name or delete / rename existing 'blog' directory and try again.

    for example laravel new helloapp.

    However, I think the error showing at the console is a bug of laravel new command. I could see the error at the console when I tried to create a app with same name again from same directory.
