Having a weird issue. I have a portal I have developed which up until today has been working good in both the prod and dev environments. Today after running a composer update everything works great on dev environment but when I pushed it to production one of my pages stopped working. The page allows me to pull up a user account and modify certain fields(pretty straight forward).
As an example/test I have created a test function in the controller to spit out a specific users information:
public function getTest(){
$user = Sentry::findUserByLogin('XXXXX');
echo $user;
}
When I run this function on the dev side it shows all the information its suppose to. When on the production side I get this error:
production.ERROR: 500 - Method Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\Eloquent\User::__toString() must not throw an exception @ /employees/admin/test
exception 'Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException' with message 'Method Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\Eloquent\User::__toString() must not throw an exception' in E:\sites\yaya.com\portal\app\src\employees\controllers\admin.php:0
Stack trace:
[internal function]: Illuminate\Exception\Handler->handleShutdown()
{main} [] []
I have not modified anything inside of Sentry or Eloquent.
Any ideas on what would cause this error? On the production side if I do a var_dump(user) it wont throw the error and I can see everything inside the protected fields. Or if I do echo $user->username it also works just fine. Problem is I need to return the user information as well as the groups the user is in to my JS to display it on my screen depending on the drop down selected for the user.
Finally figured it out! Not sure what happened but I started comparing rows of data in the database and found a few discrepancies. Pulled up the design view and sure enough a couple fields were different on production then my dev enviroment. Instead of "datetime" they were set to "smalldatetime" not sure what would have caused that but changed it to "datetime" and it all started working.
Thanks for the help Werewolf!
