error require illuminate/cache Laravel 12

[hierro59]

• Laravel-mongodb Version: 5.1
• PHP Version: 8.3
• Database Driver & Version: NA

Description:

I'm having trouble installing the MongoDB package with composer.

Steps to reproduce

1. run composer require mongodb/laravel-mongodb

Expected behaviour

install package

Actual behaviour

aborts installation

Logs:

Problem 1 - mongodb/laravel-mongodb[5.1.0, ..., 5.1.1] require illuminate/cache ^10.36|^11 -> found illuminate/cache[v10.36.0, ..., v10.48.28, v11.0.0, ..., v11.44.0] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require. - Root composer.json requires mongodb/laravel-mongodb ^5.1 -> satisfiable by mongodb/laravel-mongodb[5.1.0, 5.1.1].

While waiting for Laravel v12 support (#3283), as Laravel v12 is advertised to be backwards compatible with v11, as a workaround you could fake it by telling composer the required (v11) packages are there:

    "provide": {
        "illuminate/support": "^11.0",
        "illuminate/events": "^11.0",
        "illuminate/database": "^11.0",
        "illuminate/container": "^11.0",
        "illuminate/cache": "^11.0",
        "illuminate/contracts": "^11.0"
    },

But, best to wait for official v12 support.

This works for me. Now that the Laravel 12 support issue is resolved, I hope a composer update will fix it. Thanks.

Laravel 12 is now supported in version 5.2.0.

Laravel 12 is now supported in version 5.2.0.

It is definitely not possible to use it with Laravel 12. Not even trying to trick it.

Here's what happens:
local.ERROR: Too few arguments to function Illuminate\Database\Grammar::__construct(), 0 passed in C:\laragon\www\quantlas\AteneaMetis\api-metis-multi\vendor\mongodb\laravel-mongodb\src\Connection.php on line 336 and exactly 1 expected {"userId":1,"exception":"[object] (ArgumentCountError(code: 0): Too few arguments to function Illuminate\\Database\\Grammar::__construct(), 0 passed in C:\\laragon\\www\\quantlas\\AteneaMetis\\api-metis-multi\\vendor\\mongodb\\laravel-mongodb\\src\\Connection.php on line 336 and exactly 1 expected at C:\\laragon\\www\\quantlas\\AteneaMetis\\api-metis-multi\\vendor\\laravel\\framework\\src\\Illuminate\\Database\\Grammar.php:27)

But I solved it the inelegant way
composer require mongodb/mongodb

You need to update to mongodb/laravel-mongodb: ^5.2.

The error you reported is if you try to use the version 5.1.1 with Laravel 12, which is not possible with version constraints in composer.json.
