Laravel 5.8 to 6.x upgrade error - Declaration of App\Exceptions\Handler::renderHttpException


I have recently upgraded Laravel in the project from 5.8.* to 6.x version.

Now when I try running command composer dump-autoload -o, I get this error:

Declaration of App\Exceptions\Handler::renderHttpException(Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException $e)
   should be compatible with Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler::renderHttpException(Symfony\Component\HttpKern
  el\Exception\HttpExceptionInterface $e)

Below is the composer.json set in the project, when I upgraded Laravel from 5.7.* to 5.8.*, then also I got this same error as above, but I upgraded further hoping that would fix the issue:

I have referred the docs and it doesn't specifically say about any Exception or Handler.php file changes, so anyone do suggest how to resolve this...


Solution

  • This is a 5.7 to 5.8 upgrade issue, as you point out when the problem started. The signature of that method changed:

    "The renderHttpException method signature of the Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler class has changed. If you are overriding this method in your exception handler, you should update the method signature to match its parent:"

    /**
     * Render the given HttpException.
     *
     * @param  \Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpExceptionInterface  $e
     * @return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
     */
    protected function renderHttpException(HttpExceptionInterface $e);
