Laravel 5.8: A facade root has not been set after homestead restart

Question

so I\'m trying to get into Laravel and this is my first time using Vagrant, so here\'s my problem:

I\'ve worked through the Laravel Homestead introduction and set up

Answer 1

Homestead periodically issues "alpha" / "beta" boxes for testing, which may interfere with the vagrant box add command you run during homestead setup. If you are having issues you may run the vagrant up command and the correct box will be downloaded when Vagrant attempts to start the virtual machine.

So skip the step vagrant box add laravel/homestead

Try doing the following:

vagrant destroy
vagrant up

Vagrant will download and choose the correct laravel/homestead version for you.

Answer 2

Upgrading VirtualBox to v6 from v5 fixed this issue for me. I'm on OSX 10.15 Catalina.

I didn't have to adjust the version of my homestead box after upgrading VirtualBox.

Upgrading was recommended as a fix from this github issue: https://github.com/laravel/homestead/issues/1178

Answer 3

Ran into this issue because the default laravel/homestead box installed via vagrant is set to v8.0.0-alpha2 which seems to be very broken. You will need to reinstall the box and delete the current box.

Reference: https://github.com/laravel/homestead/issues/1178

cd ~/Homestead
vagrant destroy
vagrant box remove laravel/homestead --box-version=8.0.0-alpha2
vagrant box add laravel/homestead --box-version=7.2.1
vagrant up

Answer 4

as the same of the answer top of me by @Cody Moorhouse

but in my case did,t work till i did this :

before run the box up i added version:7.2.1 to homstead.ymal

ip: "192.168.10.10"
memory: 2048
cpus: 1
provider: virtualbox
version: 7.2.1
authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

and i edited the compser.json and added

"extra_data":{  
        "box":{  
           "name":"laravel/homestead",
           "provider":"virtualbox",
           "version":"dev-release"
        }
     },

to force vagrant to use the version 7.2.1

then on homestead dirctory i lunched compsoer update

after that vagrant up work perfect .
