Sure would be super helpful if someone could explain this to me. I can't figure out why it was just working and now it's not. It's when I'm trying to store an entry into the database.

Carbon\Carbon::now() giving error
When I'm in php artisan tinker and I'm trying to add a new article, I type in: $article = new App\Article(['title' => 'New', 'body' => 'new', 'published_at' => Carbon\Carbon::now()]); I get: InvalidArgumentException with message 'Trailing Data' But if I just type in Carbon\Carbon::now(); I get the expected array of date and time. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening all of the sudden? It wasn't like this yesterday.

Nevermind, I don't need Carbon\Carbon::now(), I can just use good ole PHP's date('Y-m-d'), works perfectly fine. I'd still like to know why Carbon decided to stop working for me and what the hell that exception means, but it seems this post has attracted VERY little interest.

Im running into this to but only sporadically. Curious.

Hi maybe too late but still. I've investigated The Class to which i was passing date, and found out the following date format method in Article.php:
public function setPublishedAtAttribute($date) {
$this->attributes['published_at'] = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $date);
}
So it was expecting only date, but Carbon\Carbon::now(), which we're using, sends date plus time in the format: "2016-10-26 22:01:17.000000"
So i added "H:i:s" to the date format and it worked.
public function setPublishedAtAttribute($date) {
$this->attributes['published_at'] = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $date);
}
Hope it helps to someone who gets stuck.
