I get a "Call to a member function export() on a non-object" error.

Just installed this now, somehow I got this error "Call to a member function export() on a non-object" on the first example usage:

Excel::create('ExcelName')
        ->sheet('SheetName')
            ->with(array('data', 'data'))
        ->export('xls');

Hey

Just tested your code. Works fine here.

I assume PHPOffice/PHPExcel is correctly installed in your vendor folder?

[mewben]

Yes... Before I installed your package, composer shows an error that I cannot install your package since phpoffice/phpexcel is not stable enough. So I set my composer.json minimum-stability to dev and it installed fine.. Then I tried to run the first usage example in my routes.php. That is where I got this error.. Thanks for the reply by the way..

[mewben]

Oops.. Sorry My bad.. syntax error... I forgot to put > in ->with(array('data', 'data'))... Sorry again.. Btw, is it possible to change the minimum stability of your package to stable?

[MaatwebsiteSupport]

Hey, I changed to minimum stability to stable.

[mewben]

I changed back my composer.json minimum stability to stable and I got this error.

[MaatwebsiteSupport]

Could you try to reinstall all vendor packages, by removing the composer.lock and vendor folder and doing a composer install?

[mewben]

In fact, I also tried the package with fresh install of Laravel.. I get the same error.. Hmmm..

[MaatwebsiteSupport]

I changed it back to dev, untill I find out why it throws the error.

[mewben]

Okay thanks.. :)

[MaatwebsiteSupport]

I'm guessing it has to do with the stability of the PHPExcel package. Don't think I can change it to stable right now.

[mewben]

Strange... But i can install phpoffice/phpexcel: dev-master package separately without errors using minimum-stability: stable...

[MaatwebsiteSupport]

You should be able to install the package with an app minimum stability of stable now.

Sorry, I still can't install even using fresh install of Laravel 4.1... :(
