Upgrade from laravel 5 to laravel 5.5 caused an error Argument 1 passed to App\Exceptions\Handler::report()

Question

We are trying to upgrade our laravel 5.0 project to the latest version of laravel (laravel 5.5 would be also fine) to support php7.1. When we are running composer install laravel gives the error below:

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException] Uncaught TypeError: Argument 1 passed to App\Exceptions\Handler::report() must be an instance of Exception, instanc e of Error given, called in C:\xampp7\htdocs\V.E.K. Lexmond\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Boot strap\HandleExceptions.php on line 73 and defined in C:\xampp7\htdocs\V.E.K. Lexmond\app\Exceptions\Handler.php:25 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp7\htdocs\V.E.K. Lexmond\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Bootstrap\HandleExceptions.ph p(73): App\Exceptions\Handler->report(Object(Error)) #1 [internal function]: Illuminate\Foundation\Bootstrap\HandleExceptions->handleException(Object(Error)) #2 {main} thrown

What would be the reason of the this error? We hope anyone got a solution for our problem.

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Can you post what you have in bootstrap/app.php?

also check if you have this in that file

$app->singleton(
Illuminate\Contracts\Debug\ExceptionHandler::class,
App\Exceptions\Handler::class

);

Answer 2

Handler.php

use Exception; use Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler as ExceptionHandler;

class Handler extends ExceptionHandler {

/**
 * A list of the exception types that should not be reported.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $dontReport = [
    'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\HttpException'
];

/**
 * Report or log an exception.
 *
 * This is a great spot to send exceptions to Sentry, Bugsnag, etc.
 *
 * @param  \Exception  $e
 * @return void
 */
public function report(Exception $e)
{
    return parent::report($e);
}

/**
 * Render an exception into an HTTP response.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  \Exception  $e
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
    return parent::render($request, $e);
}

}
