What is carbondate?

[entezarlifedesign]

I use Carbon::now() for this line:

$carbonDate = Carbon::now();
$coords = new GeographicalCoordinates(-70.73330, -29.25);
$astrolib = new AstronomyLibrary($carbonDate, $coords);

but give error:

Argument 1 passed to Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::setContent() must be of the type string or null, object given, called in D:\xampp\htdocs\rtl\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Http\Response.php on line 65

Hi @entezarlifedesign

This is a strange error message... At first sight, it does not look like an error in the laravel-astronomy-library, but somewhere else... The following simple example does work for me:

use Carbon\Carbon;
use deepskylog\AstronomyLibrary\Coordinates\GeographicalCoordinates;
use deepskylog\AstronomyLibrary\AstronomyLibrary;

$carbonDate = Carbon::now();
$coords = new GeographicalCoordinates(-70.73330, -29.25);
$astrolib = new AstronomyLibrary($carbonDate, $coords);

I tried to execute this example in

php artisan tinker

Can you also send me the result when running the example in tinker?

[WimDeMeester]

I will anyway update the documentation to include the use-statement and an example of $carbonDate

Hello

I once again installed a new version of Laravel. I installed your package. And run the code again, but it gives the same error.

Anyway, thank you.

Which package did you use yourself?

[WimDeMeester]

Did you also add Carbon using

composer require nesbot/carbon

Anyway, I'll try to create a new laravel project and try to reproduce your error.

[WimDeMeester]

I did the following

laravel new test
cd test
composer require deepskylog/laravel-astronomy-library

I do php artisan tinker then, and I execute the small script:

use Carbon\Carbon;
use deepskylog\AstronomyLibrary\Coordinates\GeographicalCoordinates;
use deepskylog\AstronomyLibrary\AstronomyLibrary;

$carbonDate = Carbon::now();
$coords = new GeographicalCoordinates(-70.73330, -29.25);
$astrolib = new AstronomyLibrary($carbonDate, $coords);

I don't see any errors.

Can you tell me which version of php and laravel you have (and which operating system?)

[entezarlifedesign]

laravel new test
cd test
composer require deepskylog/laravel-astronomy-library

use deepskylog\AstronomyLibrary\Coordinates\GeographicalCoordinates;
use deepskylog\AstronomyLibrary\AstronomyLibrary;

$astrolib = new AstronomyLibrary($carbonDate, $coords);

I don't see any errors.

Reinstall carbon, But it still does not work.

windows 10, latest update laravel 8 and 7 tested php 7.3 in xampp 3.2.4 64bit

composer updated node updated

The problem is that this package needs php 7.4. It is stated in the composer.json file, so I don't understand why the package can be installed at all.

OMG! I installed directly from laravel command line and i didn't pay attention to the composer.json file! Please add recommended/Requirements section top of the page! This is customary!

However, I installed version 7.4 but it still did not work

Thank you.

[WimDeMeester]

I was under the impression that the composer.json file would force composer install to check the php version. I'll adapt the documentation.

[WimDeMeester]

Can I ask you @entezarlifedesign why you would want to use laravel-astronomy-library?
