L5.6 Issue with Illuminate\Contracts\Logging\Log

[bellwood]

The Laravel 5.5 -> 5.6 upgrade guide outlines that Illuminate\Contracts\Logging\Log has been removed and to use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface

https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/upgrade

Simply making this change inside /vendor/yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle/src/DataTableAbstract.php does not rectify the issue.

• OSX
• PHP 7.1.14
• Laravel v5.6.3
• Laravel-Datatables v8.4.0

@dgbrunoh over at the laravel repo was kind enough to provide a work around until @yajra can sort it officially.

Simply change line 7 in:

/vendor/yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle/src/DataTableAbstract.php

From:

use Illuminate\Contracts\Logging\Log;

To:

use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface as Log;

Thanks fo reporting. This will be fixed on #1624 but we may need to do a major bump if this not backward compatible.

[bellwood]

use Illuminate\Contracts\Logging\Log; is depreciated as of L5.6:

The Illuminate\Contracts\Logging\Log Interface

This interface has been removed since this interface was a total duplication of the Psr\Log\LoggerInterface interface. You should type-hint the Psr\Log\LoggerInterface interface instead.

Patch released on v8.4.1, thanks!
