Uncaught RuntimeException: A facade root has not been set. in Facade.php:258 when upgrading to Laravel 7

I got the error regarding facade even though I followed the laravel upgrade guide

Facade.php:258

public static function __callStatic($method, $args)
{
    $instance = static::getFacadeRoot();

    if (! $instance) {
        throw new RuntimeException('A facade root has not been set.');
    }

    return $instance->$method(...$args);
}

Here is my composer.json:

"require": {
    "php": ">=7.2.5",
    "laravel/framework": "^7.0",
    "nunomaduro/collision": "^4.1",
    "laravel/tinker": "^2.0",
    "facade/ignition": "^2.0"
},
"require-dev": {
    "composer/composer": "^1.10",
    "fzaninotto/faker": "~1.4",
    "mockery/mockery": "0.9.*",
    "phpunit/phpunit": "^9.1"
},

I did change the Handler.php Exception to Throwable, session.php secure env from false to null, and set any handle() command return to integer.

How do I solve the facade error and what should I do?

Solution

  • After making a new working Laravel version 7 project, copy the app and config folders to the new one (for testing purpose), renaming a file and then testing with php artisan --version every changes I made (rename each no-numbered files to (1) and (2) files to no-numbered), finally I found out what is the problem: config/excel.php

    in excel.php I commented autosize-method and it works!

    // 'autosize-method'             => PHPExcel_Shared_Font::AUTOSIZE_METHOD_APPROX,
