Laravel 8 requires illuminate/support ^5.5 conflicts with another require

[pauliest]

Hi,

In Laravel 8
composer require maatwebsite/excel
has issue

• maatwebsite/excel 3.1.0 requires illuminate/support ^5.5 -> found illuminate/support[v5.5.0, ..., 5.8.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.

Any suggestions or what info do I need to post for additional details?

I will add ext-zip as soon as I figure out how to add a php.ini when working with docker

Thank you for all the help

To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
- /etc/php.ini
You can also run php --ini inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

phpoffice/phpspreadsheet[1.14.0, ..., 1.21.0] require ext-zip * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's zip extension.

You are missing the zip extension in your PHP installation. Therefor the correct version of phpspreadsheet cannot be installed.

More info if that helps

The error message is pointing to /etc/php.ini
To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
- /etc/php.ini

but the Laraval sail is using
$ ./vendor/bin/sail php --ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc/php/8.0/cli
Loaded Configuration File: /etc/php/8.0/cli/php.ini

I do see the /etc/php.ini outside of sail for version 7.3.11
$ php --ini
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc
Loaded Configuration File: /etc/php.ini

According to composer it's not. As this problem seems more related to Sail, I'd recommend trying Stackoverflow or Laracasts. I'm sure people there will be able to help you.

Thanks

Figured it out, I ran composer required as
./vendor/bin/sail composer require maatwebsite/excel which checked the container for dependencies
instead of
composer require maatwebsite/excel which checked the mac

Another solution I did not try was to install the ext-zip extension. I read that Catalina did not come with that by default.
