There are already a number of questions out there about the inability to access the spark-aurelius repository but bear with me, because I can't find an answer in those!
Here's what I'm seeing upon composer install:
- Installing laravel/spark-aurelius (v7.0.2): Downloading (failed) Failed to download laravel/spark-aurelius from dist: The "https://api.github.com/repos/laravel/spark-aurelius/zipball/3945a8ed439fdc50a31f781730c22b0dbfca5ea3" file could not be downloaded (HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found)
Now trying to download from source
- Installing laravel/spark-aurelius (v7.0.2): Cloning 3945a8ed43 from cache
I have linked my Github to both Spark repositories. I've also ensured I added an SSH key for my vagrant box to Github (which confirms it's been used).
After running the install, I see /vendor/laravel/spark-aurelius and the changes.md show version 7.0.2 as does the artisan command.
Does that mean it installed correctly?
Because upon loading my app, I can see my homepage and the login page, but logging in or going to the register page throws an error:
Call to undefined method Laravel\Spark\Spark::teamString() (View: /home/vagrant/spark-analytics/resources/views/vendor/spark/nav/subscriptions.blade.php)
Can anyone help shed some light on what I might be doing wrong here? This has been jamming me up for an embarrassing amount of time now! Thank you so much ahead of time!
You may have this resolved already but the Spark::teamString method was removed in 6.x. More information at the upgrade guide (if you have access to the repo https://github.com/laravel/spark-aurelius/issues/27).
If you haven't automatically updated your Spark views, you will have to do them manually. The new method is Spark::teamsPrefix()
