Upgrading to Laravel 5.2: undefined method Illuminate\Bus\Dispatcher

I don't know if this is of much help, but I believe Laravel Collective will be working on the Command Bus now due to it's removal.

https://laravelcollective.com/docs/5.2/bus

Implementing this might help fix your issue.

Yes, I know. It says so in the upgrade guide: "If you would like to continue using separate commands and handlers, you may install a Laravel Collective package..." But that's the thing. What if you would like to continue without these seperate handlers? I had one command, I can change that to be self handling, no problem.

I now found that deleting app/providers/BusServiceProvider.php and removing that line from config/app.php, and THEN changing the app/http/controller/controller.php to the one on github, seems to fix the problem. But it's strange that I seem to be the only one with this problem, and the upgrade guide says nothing more about this.

Wasn't trying to provide answer, just giving my two cents :) - hope you get it sorted.

Your answer would've been great, if I wanted to use separate handlers and keep using the bus. But I don't :P

Anyway, It seems to be working now, but I wonder if I did this correctly...

I had to do the same thing. I had to delete and "app/Providers/BusServiceProvider.php". And then in app.php remove 'Illuminate\Bus\BusServiceProvider', 'App\Providers\BusServiceProvider'. I also deleted "app/Providers/ConfigServiceProvider.php" since that's no longer used either. I didn't have to modify my app/http/controller/controller.php.

I don't know how other people are able to get the upgrade to work without doing that, but I'm pretty sure the upgrade docs should mention that.

An alternative to the Laravel Collective's package is AltThree's command bus: https://github.com/AltThree/Bus
