unexpected 'use' (T_USE) in views/includes.blade.php about tinx

[jenky]

Hi @furey,

Indeed short_open_tag was enabled.

Version 2.0.3 fixes the issue 👌. Thanks for your work and quick responses.

Cheers! ✌️

Hi @jenky,

Thanks for sharing those details, and sorry to hear Tinx isn't working properly for you.

Can you please provide your operating system and version so I can look into it further for you?

If you're comfortable sharing your composer.json file, that might help too!

FYI, I've just created a new Laravel project using the following system configuration and can confirm Tinx boots without error:

• Tinx 2.0.2
• PHP 7.1.10
• Laravel Framework 5.5.23
• macOS 10.12.6

Cheers.

Hi @furey
I'm using macOS 10.13.1
Still got the same error with another project. It seems like the problem came from this https://github.com/ajthinking/tinx/blob/11ee45508ba4cfa65516107dc66d7f3eb185e3c2/src/Includes/IncludeManager.php#L15 Blade couldn't render the view because of the <?placeholder tag at the beginning of the includes.blade.php

Here is the exception trace

Hi @jenky,

Thanks for the follow up!

If you can clear your view cache (php artisan view:clear) and open a new Tinker session (php artisan tinker, not tinx), are you able to run the following PHP statement without any exceptions being thrown?

view('tinx::includes', ['names' => [], 'config' => []])->render()

As mentioned previously, if you're comfortable sharing your composer.lock and/or composer.json file, that might help me debug the issue further too.

Cheers!

Hi @jenky,

Thanks for providing that extra information – it was super helpful!

I'm guessing your PHP configuration has short tags enabled?

To check, from the command line run:

php -i | grep short_open_tag

If you see something like this…

short_open_tag => On => On

…then you have short tags enabled.

If that's the case, we've just released v2.0.3 which should patch the issue.

If you have the time, can you please update to 2.0.3 and let me know how you go?

Cheers!

🤓 🤞
