Laravel-mongodb: Unsupported driver [mongodb]

Created on 1 Oct 2014 · 7Comments · Source: jenssegers/laravel-mongodb

Hey,

I just tried installing mongo support in laravel, but when I try to seed the database I get the error message:

[InvalidArgumentException]    
Unsupported driver [mongodb]

when I check my php for Mongo support with:

php -i | grep 'Mongo'

I get:

MongoDB Support => enabled

In my database.php I have default set to mongodb and in the connections array I have an entry for mongodb with driver => 'mongodb'

what have I overlooked?

1) make sure you are adding the service provider.
2) if you are using lumen, make sure you are adding the service provider before $app->withEloquent();

Do you have the service provider included? This would indicate that the actual driver hasn't been loaded in. If you have it in your providers array and you have run a composer update try running composer dump-autoload from the command line.

Ok I seemed to have missed that line. Adding it worked, but now I am getting a different error message, but I open a ticket on laravel-mongodb-sentry, since it is more related to that now ...
