Whoops & Laravel 4.1.26

Question

I recently upgraded to 4.1.26 on my local machine and now it seems that whoops isnt working correctly. All I am getting at the moment is a blank screen with a title as seen below, can anyone tell me why this might be happening?

I can't tell what's wrong with your application until you at least enable debugging.

As a first guess though, it might be the new remember_token that was introduced in 4.1.26. A lot of people are having issues adjusting to it.

Have you updated your User model yet? If not, open:

app/models/User.php

and add the following methods:

public function getRememberToken()
{
    return $this->remember_token;
}

public function setRememberToken($value)
{
    $this->remember_token = $value;
}

public function getRememberTokenName()
{
    return 'remember_token';
}

Then, add a new column called remember_token (of type VARCHAR(100), TEXT, or whatever equivalent you want) to your users table. It must be nullable.

Finally, when you're ready to authenticate a user, just add true as the second argument to attempt method.

if (Auth::attempt(array('email' => $email, 'password' => $password), true))
{
    // At this point the user is remembered
}

That's it. Hope this solves your issue. Happy coding!
