I have done a clean install using php 7.4 and am getting this error in the browser.

syntax error, unexpected '=>' (T_DOUBLE_ARROW), expecting ',' or ')'
vendor/spatie/laravel-mailcoach/src/MailcoachServiceProvider.php:61

On the command line when running
php artisan migrate

I get this error.

I am not a laravel developer just a normal user who wants to evaluate Mailcoach.

I'm not an expert and don't work for Spatie but wonder if this issue is happening: #10 (comment)

I suspect that you are not running PHP 7.4 for your web requests. Create a file called test.php in your public directory with this contents

<?php
phpinfo();

And verify the PHP version you are using.

If it's PHP 7.4, let me know and I'll reopen this issue.

Thank you both for your fast response.
Yes, it was plesk that was misreporting the version. changed it to 7.3 and back to 7.4 restarted nginx and all is fine now. Apologies and thanks.

No apologies needed. Hope you'll enjoy Mailcoach.
