Language switch url gives Redirector error in content

[drsdre]

Since using Laravel 5.8 I'm hitting on an error when I'm switching language using the language()->back($code) function. This error blocks in local (debug) mode, in production the route is followed.

ErrorException: Object of class Illuminate\Routing\Redirector could not be converted to string in file /project/vendor/symfony/http-foundation/Response.php on line 404

My language.php configuration:
'route' => true,
'home' => true,
'url' => false,
'carbon' => true,
'date' => false,
'auto' => true,
'prefix' => 'languages',
'middleware' => 'Akaunting\Language\Middleware\SetLocale',
'mode' => ['code' => 'short', 'name' => 'native'],

I am having the same issue when I click on one of the language links after my session has expired. Also testing locally.

Found out that this issue occurs if the session expires between the page visit and the language switch. This is where it tries to use $session-previousUrl() which returns null and that cannot be redirected. Added a patch that returns the user to home see #16

Having same problem. @drsdre solution works.

Since it's not merged yet, what I did was created a new controller extending Akaunting\Language\Controllers\Language

Copied methods back (the one we need to edit) and setLocale (because for some reason it's private)

Did @drsdre changes to the method back

Changed controller at app/language.php to the newly created controller

Working for now
