Run cli command "composer install"

What's in your composer.json file? The package.json file relates to your JavaScript side of things. The composer.json file will have the info about your PHP dependencies? :)

It sounds like a service provider is trying to generate urls outside of a request context. Check your application logs for the full stacktrace to find out what is causing the problem

@ash-jc-allen I'm sorry I post the wrong file (I was going to sleep) I updated the post.

I try with another small project and again, after updating to laravel 5.8.29, composer ends with the same UrlGenerator error

[Mindexperiment]

@sisve I found that i have a call to and asset() with a relative path inside a config file.

this is the stack trace, caused by "config/meta.php"

<?php 

return [

 */
    'logo' => secure_asset( '/images/branding/open_graph/logo-1200x1200.png' ),

how do I call an asset from inside a config file?

[ash-jc-allen]

@Mindexperiment I've just had a quick test on my local machine and this seems to work:

• Remove the secure_asset() function from your config, but leave the path there.
• In your AppServiceProvider you can then call secure_asset(config('meta.logo')). You can then assign it a variable or whatever it is you were going to do with it.

Sorry for bad formatting and no markdown, I'm on my phone so it's a bit difficult.

[Mindexperiment]

@ash-jc-allen thank you for your help, well I can call the asset() inside the metadata view.

    <meta name="twitter:image:src" content="{{ asset( ( !empty( $logo )? $logo : config( 'meta.logo' ) ) }}" />

I definetly need a vacation. This issue can be closed. Thank you
