Description
I installed a fresh new project with the React Starter-kit through Herd. After the project is installed I run php artisan install:broadcasting. But it fails after agreeing to install and use Laravel Reverb.
The following is happening:
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires laravel/reverb ^1.0 -> satisfiable by laravel/reverb[v1.7.0, ..., v1.11.1].
- laravel/reverb[v1.7.0, ..., v1.11.1] require guzzlehttp/psr7 ^2.6 -> found guzzlehttp/psr7[2.6.0, ..., 2.13.1] but the package is fixed to 3.1.0 (lock file version) by a partial update and that version does not match.At the end of the process it is failing because of Wayfinder. But I found out that it has to do with Pusher. Probably because the error above occured.
Steps To Reproduce
- Install a new project with the React Starter-kit through Herd
- Run
php artisan install:broadcasting - Click Yes and Yes again for Laravel Reverb and the error will occur.
