What is the actual error?

Would need to see the stack trace, but my guess is that the filament fields are expecting a Carbon instance instead.

GodSekhmetOP•5mo ago

Here's the stack trace - I'll switch it to a carbon instance and see if it fixes it.

laravel.log

GodSekhmetOP•5mo ago

I switched the typehint to Carbon\Carbon which allowed the page to load, but it's erroring on save now.

Hmm, sorry, don’t have a lot of experience with the spatie’s package. But definitely a type cast mismatch happening somewhere. Do you have a repo you could share?

GodSekhmetOP•5mo ago

Yep - https://github.com/StevenH1901/cfc-discord-controller

Try CabonInterface in stead of Carbon. In the CompetitionSettings class

GodSekhmetOP•5mo ago

but this might be in the spatie settings, let me see if I can fix it

awcodes•5mo ago

Hmm, yea. Tough to say, since i don’t have more experience with the spatie package. Sorry.

GodSekhmetOP•5mo ago

No worries, Thank you for the help!

awcodes•5mo ago

Definitely think it’s a casting issue though. Just not sure where it’s conflicting. Don’t think it’s a filament issue though.

GodSekhmetOP•5mo ago

Agreed, definitely don't think it's a filament issue. Just not sure how to fix it I'll open an issue with Spatie!

awcodes•5mo ago

My advice would be to try dd’ing along the stack trace to see where it’s failing specifically.

GodSekhmetOP•5mo ago

Oh great idea, Thank you!
