Hello everyone. Can you guys help me to fix the problem that I had.
So, wanted to try testing Laravel-Excel, I follow the instruction, but when I try move to next instruction "php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider" --tag=config" I got type of error like this.

" Error

Call to undefined method Illuminate\Foundation\Application::share()

156| });
157| }

So how do I fix this? Thank's

I'm Currently on Laravel 7, Latest Laravel-Excel, and Php ^7.2.5|^8.0

You are not on the lastest laravel excel, you have installed v2 not v3.1

To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
    - /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/docker-php-ext-sodium.ini
You can also run `php --ini` in a terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.
Alternatively, you can run Composer with `--ignore-platform-req=ext-gd` to temporarily ignore these required extensions.

Use the option --with-all-dependencies (-W) to allow upgrades, downgrades and removals for packages currently locked to specific versions.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

Need and appreaciate your time and help on this.
Thanks!

[ammarsdc]

@patrickbrouwers do you have any words on this?

[mahen4jk]

It should work, but have done putting

'providers' => [ /* * Package Service Providers... */ Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider::class, ]

And

'aliases' => [ ... 'Excel' => Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel::class, ]

on config/app.php??

[ammarsdc]

I've just now succeed with separating the --ignore-platform-req from combining two of them like before into two like this: composer install --ignore-platform-req=ext-gd --ignore-platform-req=ext-zip

I had also retry to re-run composer require just to see if adding these two arguments will also work. Before running this, I was removed the composer.lock and /vendor: composer require maatwebsite/excel --ignore-platform-req=ext-gd --ignore-platform-req=ext-zip

Either way is now working. Thanks @mahen4jk

Stepping ahead, I also try to make the required extension by making them available within my PHP environment. I've configured them in a form of Dockerfile like this:

FROM php:7.4

# Install unzip
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y git unzip zlib1g-dev libpng-dev libzip-dev && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# Enable the ext-gd and ext-zip extensions
RUN docker-php-ext-install gd zip && \
    docker-php-ext-enable gd zip

# Install Composer
RUN php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');" \
    && php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer \
    && php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

WORKDIR /app

From this Dockerfile, I should install few libraries: zlib1g-dev libpng-dev libzip-dev Then, I install the PHP extension using docker-php-ext-install {name / list of extension to be install}. Lastly, enabling them: docker-php-ext-enable {name / list of extension to be enable}

Now, I can just directly running composer install or require without need to specify those two ignores arguments again.

I had the same error when running initial Maatwebsite\Excel installation using composer
composer require maatwebsite/excel
This by default created the following in my composer.json
"require": { "php": "^5.3.3|^8.1", "maatwebsite/excel": "^", },
However, upon some research around i got the guide to upgrade to more latest version at least ^3.1 and so did this using the composer command:
composer require maatwebsite/excel:^3.1 --ignore-platform-reqs
This solved the problem and my composer.json now has this
"require": { "php": "^5.3.3|^8.1", "maatwebsite/excel": "^3.1", },
Publishing of the excel package is now okay.

[ervinanovlianti]

its work for my project bug, thank u

[abdo-taher]

its work for my by composer require maatwebsite/excel --ignore-platform-req=ext-gd --ignore-platform-req=ext-zip
