I tried to update Laravel 5 today and here were the steps I had to take.

First checked my Laravel version before the update:

$ php artisan –version
Laravel Framework version 5.0.35

1 2	$ php artisan —version Laravel Framework version 5.0.35

Edited composer.json in my laravel’s root folder like such:

	“require”: {
		“laravel/framework”: “5.2.*”
	}

“require”: {

“laravel/framework”: “5.2.*”

}

Run this on command line:

composer update

1	composer update

You might need to delete root folder’s composer.lock file before the update can actually begin.

I got an error which I later fixed. Scroll to the bottom of the following message.

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]

Class ‘Illuminate\Routing\ControllerServiceProvider’ not found

Script php artisan clear–compiled handling the post–update–cmd event returned with error code 255

So, Illuminate\Routing\ControllerServiceProvider’ could not be found.

What I did was remove the following line from config/app.php:

‘Illuminate\Routing\ControllerServiceProvider’,

1	‘Illuminate\Routing\ControllerServiceProvider’,

New error upon running php artisan –version:

  [ErrorException]
  file_put_contents(E:\my\path\to\laravel\bootstrap/cache/services.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

1 2	[ErrorException] file_put_contents(E:\my\path\to\laravel\bootstrap/cache/services.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

I created a folder named “cache” under bootstrap folder to solve that one.

Tried to check my Laravel version again, but this was the new error:

$ php artisan –version


  [Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
  Call to undefined method Illuminate\Bus\Dispatcher::mapUsing()

$ php artisan —version

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]

Call to undefined method Illuminate\Bus\Dispatcher::mapUsing()

Solution was this:

‘App\Providers\BusServiceProvider’

1	‘App\Providers\BusServiceProvider’

Then, finally!

$ php artisan –version
Laravel Framework version 5.2.32

1 2	$ php artisan —version Laravel Framework version 5.2.32

Oops, I can’t view my Laravel site on the web browser. It gives the following error:

FatalErrorException in Controller.php line 9:
Trait ‘Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\DispatchesCommands’ not found

1 2	FatalErrorException in Controller.php line 9: Trait ‘Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\DispatchesCommands’ not found

I opened App/Http/Controllers/Controller.php and replaced all instances of DispatchesCommands with DispatchesJobs.

Next web browser error:

InvalidArgumentException in AuthManager.php line 86:
Auth guard [] is not defined.

1 2	InvalidArgumentException in AuthManager.php line 86: Auth guard [] is not defined.

So I replaced the content of my config/auth.php file with the following:

<?php

Another error… Oh will this end soon?

ErrorException in somefile.php line 9:

…which was caused by this code in my blade file:

<?php echo url(); ?>

1	<?php echo url(); ?>

I simply passed a string “/” to the url() method to fix it. Then, ta-da! I could browse my Laravel site again via web browser.
