Installing NewsCRUD as a Package (Option B)

[jmichaelterenin]

Bug report

What I did:

I've purchased a commercial licensed version of Laravel Backpack 4.0.23. I have an existing project where I've been using cviebrock\eloquent-sluggable for some time now. I recently upgraded it to v4.8

What I expected to happen:

I wanted to install the NewsCRUD package, and assumed it would install as Laravel Backpack did, without any problems.

What happened:

Using version ^3.0 for backpack/newscrud
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for backpack/newscrud ^3.0 -> satisfiable by backpack/newscrud[3.0.0].
    - backpack/newscrud 3.0.0 requires cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable ^6.0 -> satisfiable by cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable[6.0.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2] but these conflict with your requirements or minimum-stability.

What I've already tried to fix it:

I've searched in Issues for anyone experiencing this problem, but nothing came up.

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version:

Backpack 4.0.23, Laravel 5.8, PHP 7.2.24

Hello @jmichaelterenin

Thanks for interest in Backpack. The problem is clearly stated: you are using an unsuported version of cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable

Can you update cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable to version 6.0^ or completely delete it from composer so backpack news will require the correct version to work with.

Best, Pedro

Thanks for replying @pxpm,

But version 6.0 of cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable is for Laravel 6, and says so in its documentation. I am using Laravel 5.8. I cannot currently upgrade to 6 because this is an existing project that is using packages not yet available for Laravel 6.

I bring this up here because the NewCrud documentation states that it's available for Laravel 5.8.

@tabacitu, can you please provide some insight? Is this NEWSCrud package really available for Laravel 5.8, and if so, what version should I be pulling so that there's no dependency issue with cviebrock/eloquent-sluggable?

[tabacitu]

@jmichaelterenin we're on it.

@pxpm came up with a possible solution: for us to require version 6.0|5.8 in our composer.json. He'll be working on draft fix ASAP, and get back to you to test it. If it works for you, we'll merge it for everyone.

Cheers!

Hello @jmichaelterenin !

Just created a fresh laravel 5.8 project and added NewsCRUD. Could you please test if it's working on your side ?

I will need you to do:

composer require backpack/newscrud:dev-dev-version

Instead of the require that is presented in intallation instructions.

Please let me know if it works for you so we can push this fix to everybody :)

Best, Pedro

@pxpm, @tabacitu I apologize for the delay, I had some personal things to attend to. I was able to complete installation (Installation type (B) - package) ,and although I haven't had the time just yet to add any dummy/test data to see it in action, I have to assume we got past the issue that presented itself originally.

Thank you for your assistance, and taking the time to adjust things for Laravel 5.8. I want to be able to eventually move our existing Admin to Backpack, and once I've done so, we'll upgrade to 6.0. That will take a couple of months though, so again, I appreciate your efforts.

I will let either one of you close out this thread.

Great. Thank you @jmichaelterenin . Made PR https://github.com/Laravel-Backpack/NewsCRUD/pull/40 out of @pxpm 's branch, and merged it into master. The fix should now be available to everyone as NewsCRUD 3.0.1.

Cheers!
