Cannot install laravel-arangodb on clean install of Laravel 11

[chrisny454]

I tried installing this package on a brand new instance of Laravel to test it out and I am getting this error? What could I be doing wrong?

LaravelFreelancerNL\Aranguent\Console\Migrations\MigrateMakeCommand::__construct(): Argument #1 ($creator) must be of type LaravelFreelancerNL\Aranguent\Migrations\MigrationCreator, Illuminate\Database\Migrations\MigrationCreator given, called in /home/site/wwwroot/vendor/laravel-freelancer-nl/aranguent/src/Providers/CommandServiceProvider.php on line 85

at vendor/laravel-freelancer-nl/aranguent/src/Console/Migrations/MigrateMakeCommand.php:31

We really would like to see what it can do since ArangoDB is a better solution for a database for speed over MySQL on large datasets.

Thanks,

Chris

I've reproduced the error and am fixing it

I've located the problem. For some odd reason an old version (0.13) was being installed which caused the error.

To solve this you have to set the minimum stability to beta,and prefer-stable to false in your composer json.
I've improved the install instructions in the readme.

If you don't want to reinstall laravel you can force the latest package version with the following command:
composer require laravel-freelancer-nl/aranguent:v1.0.0-beta.10 laravel-freelancer-nl/fluentaql:2.1.1

This will also update fluentaql which probably got locked to an old version as well during the previously failed install.

Thanks for bringing this problem to my attention. Let me know if you need any further help.

Enjoy
