[Bug] Compilation failed: unrecognised character

[madviking]

Bug report

What I did

Run dev tools generate all in a custom model.

What I expected to happen

Files to be generated.

What happened

Some files generated, but a crash. https://flareapp.io/share/KPgXbZ37

What I've already tried to fix it

I've tried that it works with a more standard model.

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version

When I run php artisan backpack:version the output is: PHP 8.0.8 (cli) (built: Aug 5 2021 15:36:35) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) The PHP Group Zend Engine v4.0.8, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies

@tabacitu what is the general policy on dealing with the issues in this repo, as I noticed there are couple that have been without any comment for a month?

Hey @madviking ,

Sorry for the bad experience, 1-month response time on a DevTools issue isn't normal. 2022 has been a killer for us - we've tried to push Backpack v5 out the door, at the same time as:

• adding Laravel 9 support to our packages
• adding Laravel 9 support to a lot of our open-source dependencies
• the regular maintenance, bug fixing and support

Now that Backpack v5 is out, and L9 support is done for almost everything, things will get back to normal pretty soon.

I could not reproduce this. Can you please share your migration? Might help me re-create the same form, in order to hopefully get the same error.

Cheers!

@tabacitu I guess this migth be related with MacOS. I could not reproduce it in Windows/Linux.

Since there was no response to this in a while, I'm going to close this issue. But if anybody gets a similar error:

_pregmatch(): Compilation failed: unrecognized character follows \ at offset 13

Please reply here with as much information as possible, and we'll reopen to fix it!

Thank you!
