  "./composer.json" does not contain valid JSON

Those error occur when I try to run composer install on a Copied Laravel project from Remote Desktop Protocol.

Tried the https://jsonlint.com and it return valid.

Laravel withTrashed in related model query callback

I am working with an old Laravel 5.7 app, and I'm having a nightmarish issue with fetching trashed related models with a callback function.

My setup is as follows:

$filter_comments = function ($q) use ($parameters) {
$q->whereBetween('dated_at', [$parameters['start'], $parameters['end']]);
$q->where('special_post', 1);
$q->whereIn('image_id', $parameterss['image_list']);
$q->withTrashed();
};

$collection = Post::with(['comments' => $filter_comments]);

The query with its filter works just fine except for the $q->withTrashed() line.

If I dump its internal SQL ($q->toSql() inside the callback function), I can see a blatant contradiction being inserted in my query. Whenever I add the withTrashed() line, Laravel appends a AND 0 = 1 to my query.

select * from `comments` where `comments`.`image_id` in (1,2,3) and `dated_at` between ? and ? and `special_post` = ? and 0 = 1

Both models have correctly defined belongsTo() and hasMany() relationships, and display no other issues. I have also tried adding withTrashed() to the relationship deffintion in the respective model file, but it didn't work either.

I am aware of some related bugs with previous Laravel versions (https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/11860) but as far as I know, they are fixed for Laravel 5.7

I would really appreciate some feedback!

Thanks in advance!

Swift mailer changed setting with default when queue:work

I have a swift mailer in Laravel 5.8 and it sends an email with the user SMTP setting. It works well manually, but when I use this within the queue, the mailer setting is reverted to the default setting.

The code is like this

if ($own_stmp) {
    $transport = (new Swift_SmtpTransport($user->mail_host, $user->mail_port))
        ->setUsername($user->mail_username)
        ->setPassword($user->mail_password);
} else {
    $transport = (new Swift_SmtpTransport(\Config::get('mail.host'), \Config::get('mail.port')))
        ->setUsername(\Config::get('mail.username'))
        ->setPassword(\Config::get('mail.password'));
}

// Create the Mailer using your created Transport
$mailer = new Swift_Mailer($transport);
    
// Create a message
if ($own_stmp) {
    $message = (new Swift_Message($subject))
        ->setFrom([$user->mail_from_address => $agent->name])
        ->setTo([$lead->email => $lead->name])
        ->setReplyTo($agent->email)
        ->addPart($content, 'text/html');
} else {
    $message = (new Swift_Message($subject))
        ->setFrom([\Config::get('mail.from.address') => $agent->name])
        ->setTo([$lead->email => $lead->name])
        ->setReplyTo($agent->email)
        ->addPart($content, 'text/html');
}

// Send the message
$result = $mailer->send($message);

As you can see, it changes email setting by $own_smtp flag.

This is really working well, but when I use this with

php artisan queue:work

It is skipped custom user setting and send with default setting.

What is wrong? How to solve this?

What is the correct process flow to find a controller file, blade file and model file from chrome's inspect window laravel

I am an intern currently working with some laravel project. I was assigned a simple taks to find and edit value in a controller file. But I am not able to quickly locate the file I want. What is the best and proper way to find something from frontend in backed using chrome's inspect window, like I want to find a controller file for the url. How to find it it using inspect window. Others say I should use inspect window to find it, but not how. Help please. Thanks in advance.

I initially tried finding the controller file using an "all files search" function in sublime text. For example, int to an add page, saw a text field there, went or the project folder, searched using "all files search, ctrl+shift+f", located the text, then backtracked every single component used there and finally found the controller file. But it is taking too much time and I am not able to find some files where the actual names and the names I am seeing in frontend is different.

Here is the jquery code that counts the number of rows in the first table and adds rows equal to it according to the number of columns in the second table

$('#add4').click(function(){
    var rowCount = $('#table_field4 .trr').length + 1;
    var rowCountone = $('#table_field4 .trr').length ;
          var  size = $('#table_field4 .trr').length + 1;
          var html = '<tr>'+'<td><input type="text" value="" ></td><td ><input type="text" name="value[]" ></td><td ><input type="text" name="value[]" ></td></tr>';

          $('#table_field5').append(html);

        });

Laravel SSE start sending the events after long time

I am integrating the SSE with laravel 5.7 on a server in php 7.4 (prod&local) but locally I receive the events without problem, unfortunately the client can wait up to 10 minutes to start receiving the events. And especially on the server side according to my logs, it starts sending the events as soon as the connection is opened, I wonder what could be blocking (or buffering) the results for sending them to after some time what can crash my server in prod.

Controller

public function index()
{
    return response()->stream(function () {
            try{
                while(true){
                    Log::info("in".now());
                    echo "data: " . now() . "\n\n";
                    ob_flush();
                    flush();
                    Log::info("out".now());
                    sleep(3);
                }
                                    
            }catch(\Exception $e){
                Log::error($e->getMessage());
            }
            if (connection_aborted()) {break;}


    }, 200, [
        'Content-Type' => 'text/event-stream',
        'Cache-Control' => 'no-cache',
        'Connection' => 'keep-alive'
    ]);
}

Javascript

<script>
  window.onload= function(){
    console.log('loaded')
  var source = new EventSource('');
  source.addEventListener("message", function(event) {
    const trans = event.data;
    console.log(Date(),trans)

  });
  source.onerror = (e)=>{
    console.log(e)
  }
</script>
