Class load error about former HOT 18 CLOSED

That's weird, the class \Former\Fields\Input does exist. Are you sure everything is up to date and no file is missing ? If so, can you show me the code you're trying to use ?

from former.

I have the latest code (as of 10 minutes ago), here's the test code.

{{ Former::horizontal_open() }}

    {{ Former::xlarge_text('email') }}

    {{ Former::password('password') }}

    {{ Former::xlarge_text('first_name') }}

    {{ Former::xlarge_text('last_name') }}

    {{ Former::actions(Form::submit('Save', array('class'=>'btn btn-primary')) ) }}

{{ Former::close() }}

I have the bundle autoloaded in bundles.php and the alias in application.php. Nothing else. This is running on PHP 5.3.2

from former.

No specific former config file or anything populating the form ?

from former.

No, everything is default apart from that. Of course I also have some other bundles installed but I don't think any of those would be conflicting?

I'm unfamiliar with the autoloading functionality of PHP but could this be part of the problem?

from former.

Can you list the bundles installed and paste somewhere your application.php file ?

from former.

To rule out any conflicts I just did the following

• Setup fresh install of Laravel from latest github
• Copied in latest version of Former from github
• Registered in bundles.php as auto true
• Added alias in application.php
• Added above form code to the default home/index.blade.php

And I get the same issue. Is there something in the server config which could be affecting it?

from former.

I'm going to try that as well, I have a PHP 5.3 server somewhere, I'll try uploading to it to see if it's a PHP error (although that would be weird as Travis tests Former on PHP 5.3 too).
Are you using Laravel master or develop branch ?

from former.

Master branch. Is there something I can do to help diagnose? Is there somewhere in the code where the types are loaded?

from former.

Just tested with fresh master on local and no error, but I'm running PHP 5.4.4 on local. Can't upload to my 5.3 server right now but I'll take a look into that.

from former.

I pushed a small commit, can you see if that changes anything ?

from former.

Still getting an error, but it's coming from the new exception you added. Here's the error message and stack trace

Unfortunately, I'm also getting the same issue, I downloaded the code today and I'm on Ubuntu.

edit: I did post saying it was an issue with bootstrapper, but that's not the case...
edit2: form tags are fine but most others are giving a similar error

from former.

And what version of PHP do you run ?

from former.

PHP 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.18 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Sep 12 2012 19:12:47) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group 
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

from former.

Hm I see, so this might have something to do with the version of PHP. I'll add some more versions to the Travis build to see if anything pops up.

EDIT : Ah damn, PHP 5.3.2 is too old for Travis. Gonna have to look somewhere else.
EDIT2 : Just found something that might be relevant. I pushed the corresponding fix, can you guys see if it's better ?

from former.

Works perfectly now, thanks (and I never realised my PHP version was that old!)

from former.

Gonna wait for spib's feedback before I close this, but you know, still. VICTORY \o/

from former.

Yeah, that works for me too. Great work, thanks for the fix
