Model class in a core repositary of flarum is conflict with laravel illuminate Model class

Ahesanali

Model class used inside core repository of flarum should have different name as it conflicts with illuminate components.

Today i have tried to setup flarum locally without vagrant. My requirement is to understand the api only as i am not interested in emberjs frontend app.

I followed below steps.

Clone https://github.com/flarum/flarum repositary
Clone https://github.com/flarum/core inside core directory of flarum.
Run composer install --prefer-dist inside flarum
Run composer install --prefer-dist inside flarum/core/
Run php artisan flarum:install
Run php artisan flarum:seed

While executing step 6 i found below error on my terminal.

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]

Cannot use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model as Model because the name is already in use

I have attached screenshot for reference.

Can any one have idea about this error?

Thanks for reporting, I just fixed this. Please update your working copy of flarum/core to see if the fix worked.

Ahesanali

@Franz Thank you very much. Issue is resolved. But it takes long time for

php artisan flarum:seed

Ahesanali

Anyways Now i think i can understand the API as setup is done without vagrant.

Franz

Yeah, the seed command generates a lot of content (for development), don't worry about it.

Ahesanali

Anyways I can access API on my apache server without vagrant. Congrats!

I just followed the steps as i mentioned in my question.

I tried hard but could not setup ember frotn-end as i do not have much knowledge in it nor as of now i am interested. but i would like to use same UI using backbone.marionette.

Franz

Yeah, once the API is fleshed out, it should be easy to build an alternative frontend.

While going through these steps I get an error (step 3) with composer install --prefer-dist inside flarum folder I have this:

What's wrong?

Franz

Did you run git pull inside the repo?

alexfox

Franz No, where do I have to do it? I was going through the instruction of the first post, but I don't see anything about it there.

Franz

It does say git clone, but since you seem to have already set it up, please run git pull inside the directory where you cloned Flarum.

alexfox

It says that all is up-to-date. I am trying to reinstall now.

alexfox

I have cloned two repositories and tried to composer install --prefer-dist inside flarum floder but got this. All modules are up-to-date. What's wrong?

Sorry about the trouble, we're currently revamping the architecture and, as part of that process, the installation procedure. It'll soon be simpler, hopefully.

@Franz can you estimate when the architecture restructuring is done? I'd love to contribute but I think we'll have a very big change in the near future.

Franz

I think I just fixed the installation issues... (aka "works for me"). Please try again, folks. Thanks for your patience!
