Call to undefined method Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher::fire() in Laravel 5.8

[nekromoff]

issue with the latest compatibility

[kristijanhusak]

I can't find changelog for this. Why it is undefined?

[nekromoff]

https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/upgrade deprecated and removed Events The fire Method *Likelihood Of Impact: Low* The fire method (which was deprecated in Laravel 5.4) of the Illuminate/Events/Dispatcher class has been removed <laravel/framework#26392>. You should use the dispatch method instead.

[kristijanhusak]

I released new version where this is fixed.

[viktormaar]

The fix is not compatible anymore with Laravel 5.2, altough the composer will install this version:
Call to undefined method Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher::dispatch()

@viktormaar @kristijanhusak Moving forward, we are going to have to drop backwards compatability at some level. Seeing as 5.2 is quite old at this point, I am thinking that we tag the the 1.16 version to support older versions (those prior to 5.4). Moving forward, 1.20 (and now working on 1.30) we are going to support 5.5? and beyond.

[mikeerickson]

Further, since Laravel 5.5 is the current LTS, I think it would behove us to move forward with only support LTS versions (we do have tagged versions to support older Laravel)

@latifasaee In short, when you see an error like this with Laravel 5.8, the call

Call to undefined method Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher::fire() 

needs to be changed to

Call to undefined method Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher::dispatch() 

In versions prior to Laravel 5.7, this method classname was fire but with Laravel 5.8, it is now dispatch

@latifasaee thanks guy, you helped me a lot!

Laravel 5.8 & Laratrust if you get an error:
Call to undefined method Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher
::fire()
In versions prior to Laravel 5.7, this method class name was fire but with Laravel 5.8, it is now dispatch.

Replace fire with dispatch in \Your Project\vendor\santigarcor\laratrust\src\Traits\LaratrustHasEvents.php
from

    protected function fireLaratrustEvent($event, array $payload)
    {
        if (! isset(static::$dispatcher)) {
            return true;
        }

        return static::$dispatcher->fire(
            "laratrust.{$event}: ".static::class,
            $payload
        );
    }

to

    protected function fireLaratrustEvent($event, array $payload)
    {
        if (! isset(static::$dispatcher)) {
            return true;
        }

        return static::$dispatcher->dispatch(
            "laratrust.{$event}: ".static::class,
            $payload
        );
    }
