Unable to view logs

Bug report

What I did:

Installed LogManager via composer command in read me, setup the file system driver, added the URL to the sidebar, clicked the link when logged in.

What I expected to happen:

Show a list of log files

What happened:

Whoops! Illegal string offset 'file_name'.

What I've already tried to fix it:

I dumped out $file in the loop, it is not an array but a string file path. I was able to get the screen to load replacing the $file['xxx'] with variables using filesystem functions. This does let the screen load, but when attempting to preview the log it fails.

Possibly a this-instance Laravel configuration issue?

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version:

3.4, 5.6, 7.1.11, 5.7.2 MySQL

Hmm... that's very weird @Evanslooten . I've just installed it on a fresh instance, with exactly your versions, and it works just fine for me: https://cl.ly/0e1I3326093D

And actually, $file is an array for me - it's the array that Filesystem returns for a file:

I have no idea what the problem was for you, or what to recommend to solve it. Heck, maybe a composer update? Very sorry for this.

Cheers!

PS. If anybody else has this problem, please speak up and reopen this issue. Would love to get to the bottom of this.
