[SOLVED] Way\Generators is breaking Laravel Envoyer

Way\Generators is breaking Laravel Envoyer

I'm trying to transition a Laravel 4.2 site from Forge to Forge/Envoyer. I'm following the laracast but I keep getting the error:

PHP Fatal error: Class 'Way\Generators\GeneratorsServiceProvider' not found in /home/forge/Site/envoyer/releases/20150511192402/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/ProviderRepository.php on line 157

on the Install Composer Dependencies step of Envoyer deployment.

I've removed the lines for Way/Generators from both composer.json and config/app.php and have followed the documentation to re-install it. Envoyer works with Way/Generators removed but keeps failing when I add it back.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Solution

In composer.json add way/generators inside "require-dev", so it will be downloaded only on your dev machine.

"require-dev": {
    "way/generators": "~2.0"
}

Add Way\Generators\GeneratorsServiceProvider only inside your local (development) config - config/local/app.php. That way it will be present on your development machine, because it will use config/local/app.php, but while deploying, envoyer will use config/app.php, where Way\Generators\GeneratorsServiceProvider are not set.

This is how your config/local/app.php can look like:

<?php

return array(
    'debug' => true,
    'providers' => append_config(array(
        'Way\Generators\GeneratorsServiceProvider'
    ))
);
