v1.1.22 using laravel/framework v5.2.45 using symphony/http-foundation v.3.0.9 : cannot redeclare info() error

[nateritter]

Here's my current setup:

• laravel/valet v1.1.22
• laravel/framework v5.2.45
• symfony/http-foundation v3.0.9

Installing valet while using the laravel/framework v5.2 works fine. But immediately errors pop up when doing valet start.

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare info() (previously declared in /Users/nateritter/.composer/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php:454) in /Users/nateritter/.composer/vendor/laravel/valet/cli/includes/helpers.php on line 21

So, I thought and try to go wrap a conditional into the /valet/cli/includes/helpers.php to check if the function has been declared. But when doing that and then running any commands which utilize the info() method, I get the following:

[ReflectionException]     
Class log does not exist

What's the reason for having laravel/framework installed globally?

One alternative is to clone laravel/valet somewhere else on your machine, run composer install locally for that folder, and then symlink valet from that folder to /usr/local/bin/valet manually, and remove the version you have installed globally.

The way Composer mixes all your global packages is sort of a nightmare sometimes 😔

Honestly, I can't remember why I installed the framework globally. Good catch.

composer global remove laravel/framework and then removed and reinstalled valet and !! poof !! magic. It works.

Thanks @adamwathan .... BTW, huge fan of yours. Thanks for making this awesome product and what you do with the community at large.

Sweet! Glad I could help 👍

Heads up, Laravel Zero installs some of the illuminate components, so you'd have to remove this.
