I am getting Call to a member function beginTransaction() on null when importing data from Maatwebsite\Excel\Excel in Laravel and MongoDB. It's working fine on local but when I am running it on the server it's showing me this error.
The mongo db driver does not support transactions. Disable them in the config file. First publish it with php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider" --tag=config and then change the handler
'transactions' => [
'handler' => 'null', //was db. Set to null
],
@Sinnbeck Thank you! Working now.
@sinnbeck am getting this error PS C:\xampp\htdocs\redwing-backend-laravel> php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider" --tag=config No publishable resources for tag [config]. Publishing complete.
@UmaWorld Try running php artisan vendor:publish, and in the prompt, search for Excel. it's either Maatwebsite or SpartnerNL the initial directory
