Exception Class 'session.store' does not exist when publishing assets under Laravel 4.0.7

[benrifkah]

The following exception is thrown when publishing assets under Laravel 4.0.7 with the 'debug' => true in app configuration:

$ php artisan debugbar:publish
public path: /app/public
{"error":{"type":"ReflectionException","message":"Class session.store does not exist","file":"\/app\/vendor\/laravel\/framework\/src\/Illuminate\/Container\/Container.php","line":296}}

The same exception is thrown when making requests via the web.

I have a patch that can fix this particular issue but I don't know if it is the best way to handle it or whether Laravel 4.0 is even on the support list for the debugbar. Will submit a pull request and you can decide if you want to keep it.

I just used 'session' now. Also, your PR was incorrect, you cannot check with class_exists(), because it's not an actual class but a binding in the application container. Should work for you now, right?

Ah, good catch with class_exists. It "worked" for me because it always fell back but surely didn't do the right thing with newer versions. I got this error under 4.0.7 which is not the latest stable (4.0.9).

I'm getting another error under 4.0.7 now but I don't know if it's worth addressing since I'm in the process of updating php from 5.3.13 to 5.5.6. This will allow me to update a bunch of my laravel dependencies including cartalyst/sentry. My guess is that it will all come together nicely once I'm at the latest versions of everything.

Yes, please address the problem in a new issue. If not for you, others might benefit as well :)

How has this been cured? Working on a legacy app which just updated to latest 4.0.x (composer update) and it has broken the world! Is there a clean solution to this?

Why 4.0? 4.1 should also work.
Problem comes from laravel/framework#2361 so session.store should be available in last 4.0 I think. But I would upgrade to 4.1 if you can.
