Spark New Issues

So when I use "spark new project-name" it tries to update the .env file when it doesn't exist...

You made a reference to a non-existent script @php artisan package:discover
Updating Configuration Values: ✔
Updating Environment File: ✔

   ErrorException  : file_get_contents(/Users/<user>/Development/underdevelopment/.env): failed to open stream: No such file or directory```

What version of Spark, and what method did you use to install it?

ejdelmonico's avatar

Did you update the Spark Installer to v2.0.0 for Spark v6.0? If not, just do

cd Spark-Installer
git fetch
git checkout v2.0.0

Then, try the install again in a clean directory.

This is a fresh install, spark is on v2.0.0. This is the output of running spark new someproject:

Note that after installing Laravel, laravel calls scripts that are supposed to move the .env.example but that fails thus spark cannot modify the file later on in the install process.
