Fatal error: Class Herbert\Framework\Application contains 1 abstract method and must therefore be

[darklord1807]

If you have done "composer update" and getting the below error:

Fatal error: Class Herbert\Framework\Application contains 1 abstract method and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\Application::runningInConsole) in C:\htdocs\videoserver\ws_plugin\vendor\getherbert\framework\Herbert\Framework\Application.php on line 12

FIX:

In file vendor\getherbert\framework\Herbert\Framework\Application.php add this :

public function runningInConsole()
{
	
}

Thank you for this. Nice to see this framework is still getting used, could we band together and revive it? It's the best WP Plugin framework I've encountered, sad to see it no longer maintained.

Now you should also add:

    public function getCachedPackagesPath()
    {
        
    }

in vendor\getherbert\framework\Herbert\Framework\Application.php

@InTheDeepEnd Really busy. I do not think will be able to help . But I love it and still using it. Maybe we can do a commit to fix these small issues.

The error message I was getting was:

( ! ) Fatal error: Class Herbert\Framework\Application contains 3 abstract methods and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\Application::runningInConsole, Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\Application::runningUnitTests, Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\Application::getCachedPackagesPath) in /home/vagrant/WordPress/plugins/RATp/vendor/getherbert/framework/Herbert/Framework/Application.php on line 12

So I added

    public function runningInConsole()
    {

    }

    public function runningUnitTests()
    {

    }

    public function getCachedPackagesPath()
    {

    }

But now I wonder if I need to actually put anything into those functions or if they get overriden somewhere down the line.

Love this project, really sad more people can't help.

FWIW, this was solved by setting "illuminate/container": "~5.1.0" in composer.json.
