Class 'Ical' not found

[Kevin Brown]

Hello, Ive installed the package via composer and included in my Laravel app but I'm getting this error.

local.ERROR: Class 'Ical' not found

I verified that the package is in my /vendor directory. I pulled it into the file that calls it via 'use Ical\Ical'

here is where the error fires...

$ical = (new Ical())->setAddress($details->meeting_location) <---- errors here ->setDateStart(new \DateTime($details->meeting_start)) ->setDateEnd(new \DateTime($meet_end)) ->setDescription($details->meeting_goal) ->setSummary($details->meeting_title) ->setOrganizer($organizer->email) ->setFilename(uniqid()); $ical->addHeader();

I have also tried \Ical\Ical but same error.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi, Add

use Ical\Ical;

at the head of your file...

[Luc Sanchez]

Please copy/past your file in the post

If you

 $ical->addHeader();

The script is stopped because your send an header, dont send and test...

[Luc Sanchez]

your create a string from date() function and after your transform that in \DateTime() object... ...that not very efficient

$meet_end = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime('+1 hour',strtotime($details->meeting_start)));

[Luc Sanchez]

can you send me the content of

$ical = (new Ical()) ;

in var_dump(); please.

[Kevin Brown]

Sure... thank you very much for you assistance. Give me just a moment.

[Kevin Brown]

Even that produces the Ical\Ical not found error.

[Luc Sanchez]

the class has no probleme :)

[Luc Sanchez]

Can you add a try{} catch ... and send me content of

$exc->getMessage;

[Kevin Brown]

Same error :(

[Kevin Brown]

I created a new file to test the class with your example and still get the same error

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Ical\Ical;

class Test extends Controller
{


    public function test()
    {

        try {

            $ical = (new Ical())->setAddress('Paris')
                ->setDateStart(new \DateTime('2014-11-21 15:00:00'))
                ->setDateEnd(new \DateTime('2014-11-21 16:00:00'))
                ->setDescription('wonder description')
                ->setSummary('Running')
                ->setOrganizer('[e-mail]') //optional
                ->setFilename(uniqid());
            $ical->addHeader();

            echo $ical->getICAL();

        } catch (\Exception $exec) {

            return $exec->getMessage();
        }

    }

}

[Luc Sanchez]

it better if un use an explicit version :

 composer require "calendar/icsfile": "^4.0"

[Luc Sanchez]

dev-master is not stable... " Check the package spelling, your version constraint and that the package is available in a stability which matches your minimum-stability (stable)".

[Kevin Brown]

when I specify with composer require "calendar/icsfile": "dev-master"

[InvalidArgumentException] Could not find a matching version of package dev-master. Check the package spelling, your version constraint and that the package is available in a stability which matches your minimum-stability (stable).

[Luc Sanchez]

minimum-stability (stable)

composer require "calendar/icsfile": "^4.0" is stable not "dev-master"

[Kevin Brown]

hmmm

composer require "calendar/icsfile": "^4.0"

[InvalidArgumentException] Could not find a matching version of package ^4.0. Check the package spelling, your version constraint and that the package is available in a stability which matches your minimum-stability (stable).

[Luc Sanchez]

Post your composer.json please
