I've tried those 2 commands

I still get the same result.

How can I prevent that ?

Answer 1

You can run composer install --no-scripts or composer update --no-scripts to install / update any packages, and it will skip running any artisan commands.

You can then try to run php artisan clear-compiled to see if the update has fixed the issue.

If this doesn't work, you should consider upgrading your application to use a newer Laravel version, or downgrade PHP to an older version that is compatible with the version of Laravel you want to use.
