[FIXED] bllim/laravel4 datatables package - errors after installation

Issue

Installed the bllim/laravel4-datatables-package yesterday and having no end of problems. I wonder if anyone has experienced the same?

I added to require-dev in composer.json,

"bllim/datatables": "dev-master",

In git bash I ran the following, all successful:

$ composer update
$ php artisan config:publish bllim/datatables

It returned - Configuration published for package : bllim/datables

The fun bit came when I added the following to app/config/app.php

'providers' => array(
    ...
    'Bllim\Datatables\DatatablesServiceProvider',
),



'aliases' => array(
    ...
    'Datatables'      => 'Bllim\Datatables\Facade\Datatables',
),

This subsequently breaks my site completely returning the error:

Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException …/­vendor/­laravel/­framework/­src/­Illuminate/­Translation/­Translator.php8

Solution

You should run the following command after adding a package:

composer dump

If that doesn't help, try changing the "minimum-stability" from "dev" to "stable" in your composer.json file and run composer update again.
