PHP Fatal error: Uncaught RuntimeException: A facade root has not been set.

[LudovicRousseau]

Lychee version

v7.3.0

Did you check the latest Lychee version?

Yes, I did

Which PHP version are you using?

PHP 8.4

Detailed description of the problem

I extract the Lychee.zip, then run php artisan key:generate and I get:

$ php artisan key:generate
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught RuntimeException: A facade root has not been set. in /home/rousseau/Serveurs_web/Lychee/Lychee/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/Facades/Facade.php:360

#4 {main}
  thrown in /home/rousseau/Serveurs_web/Lychee/Lychee/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/Facades/Facade.php on line 360

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. mkdir tmp
2. cd tmp
3. unzip ../Lychee.zip
4. cd Lychee
5. php artisan key:generate

Diagnostics [REQUIRED]

With no surprise php artisan lychee:diagnostics also returns the same error.

$ php artisan lychee:diagnostics

On it. I don't get it though. Everything runs fine in the tests and on release... CRASH.

@LudovicRousseau Can you check if you have php-ldap installed ? (shot in the dark, but probably worth it)

[LudovicRousseau]

Packages php-ldap and php8.4-ldap are NOT installed.

[LudovicRousseau]

Installing php-ldap and its dependency php8.4-ldap fixed the php artisan key:generate issue.

Then I got the same error in apache logs.
After a sudo systemctl restart apache2.service the apache problem is solved.

[DKeppi]

Same here!
php 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 and php-ldap is installed

[ildyria]

8.2 and 8.3 are not supported.
8.4 with php-ldap that is weird.

My fault, im talking about my host and for sure its php8.4-ldap.

Anyway im using your docker image so its a bug inside it...saw the other discussion already.

Sorry for the confusion!

Anyway im using your docker image so its a bug inside it...saw the other discussion already.

Version 7.3 has been fixed a few minutes ago :)
Either:

• repull
• use edge temporarilly
• wait 7.3.1 (in a few hours I will tag it).
