Problem With Changing Storage Path, worked on 5.0 but not on 5.1

posted 9 years ago

On 5.0 I used to make a storagepath.php in app/ which contained the following:

<?php namespace Myapp;

class Application extends \Illuminate\Foundation\Application {
	public function storagePath() {
	    return \Helpers\Envconfig::getEnvConfig('storage.main_path');
	}
	public function publicPath() {
		return $this->basePath.'/webroot';
	}
}

My Envconfig helper is still setting everything just fine, so no need to show that code.

Then in bootstrap/app.php I would invoke the app as follows


$app = new Myapp\Application(
	realpath(__DIR__.'/../')
);

With 5.1, however, when I composer install I get the message:

[RuntimeException]
Error Output: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Illuminate\Contracts
\Container\Container in /www/bootstrap/cache/compiled.php on line 4

Any ideas on what my issue might be?

Curiously, if I delete compiled.php from bootstrap/cache and remove all traces of:

		"php artisan clear-compiled",
		"php artisan optimize"

From my composer.json, it works just fine. Not optimal though, anybody have any ideas? Here is my composer.json without the edits:

Not sure why it is acting odd.

I posted the code I use to extend Laravel's application for custom paths at https://github.com/TerrePorter/LaravelFrameworkLoader

For your code, it would be something like this in the bootloader\app file

$app = new Wpb\Laravel_Framework_Loader\Application (
    [
        'base' => realpath(__DIR__.'/../'), 
        'public' => realpath(__DIR__.''/webroot''),
        'storage' => \Helpers\Envconfig::getEnvConfig('storage.main_path')
    ]
);

Hope that helps.
