Laravel with MongoDB: Argument 2 passed to Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::__construct() must be an instance of Illuminate\Database\Query\Grammars

Question

I am working on creating a new application I have a fresh install of Laravel 5.1, I installed the JOSH theme from Themeforest and then installed your mongodb package and the sentry package you created.

There is only one model right now called User and this is what is in it:

 <?php namespace App;

use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Model as Eloquent;

class User extends Eloquent {

protected $connection = 'mongodb';
/**
 * The database table used by the model.
 *
 * @var string
 */
// protected $table = 'users';
 protected $collection = 'users';

/**
 * The attributes excluded from the model's JSON form.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $hidden = array('password', 'remember_token');

/**
* To allow soft deletes
*/
use SoftDeletes;

 protected $dates = ['deleted_at'];

}

When going to my dev url this is what I get.

this is part of my composer.json

    ),

],

I have tried to do every suggestion that I could find in the issues and in the Troubleshooting area (https://github.com/jenssegers/laravel-mongodb), so far I have had no luck. Your help would be great.

Answer 1

You need change in file: Illuminate/Foundation/Auth/User.php

To:

<?php

namespace Illuminate\Foundation\Auth;

use Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Jenssegers\Mongodb\Eloquent\Model as Eloquent;
use Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\CanResetPassword;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\Authorizable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable as AuthenticatableContract;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Access\Authorizable as AuthorizableContract;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword as CanResetPasswordContract;

class User extends Eloquent implements
    AuthenticatableContract,
    AuthorizableContract,
    CanResetPasswordContract
{
    use Authenticatable, Authorizable, CanResetPassword;
}

It worked for me.

Answer 2

To anyone else having this issue please go into your Config folder and edit the file "cartalyst.sentry.php".

change the Sentry configuration model sections:

'groups' => array(

    'model' => 'Jenssegers\Mongodb\Sentry\Group',

),

'users' => array(

    'model' => 'Jenssegers\Mongodb\Sentry\User',

),

'throttling' => array(

    'model' => 'Jenssegers\Mongodb\Sentry\Throttle',

),
