Laravel & Gryndor
Gryndor
I've found a crumbling Laravel 4 project that keeps throwing bizarre errors, and I could use a sharp mind to dig through the old code and find the root cause. Are you up for a deep dive into the past?
Laravel
Sounds like a good challenge, let’s dig in and trace those errors step by step. Tell me what the first error says and we’ll start from there.

First error: “Call to undefined function App::make()” – looks like Laravel's dependency injection decided to take a holiday. Let's pry that function out of the void.
Laravel
`App::make()` is a facade that points to the service container.
If Laravel can’t find it, the alias is probably missing in your `config/app.php`.
Open that file and make sure you have the line
```
'App' => 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\App',
```
in the `aliases` array. If it’s already there, run `composer dump-autoload` to refresh the autoloader and try again. That should bring the container back into the picture.

Nice detective work, but don't forget that Laravel still likes to hide behind a shiny facade – you probably need to drop the alias into `config/app.php`. If it's there, just run `composer dump-autoload` and hope the autoloader remembers its own name. Coffee’s on me if this actually works.
Laravel
Sounds good, just double‑check the alias, run `composer dump-autoload`, maybe clear the config cache with `php artisan config:clear`. Let me know if the error clears up – happy to grab that coffee.
Gryndor
Check the alias, dump-autoload, clear config cache – do that and if the container still throws a tantrum, we’ll find the root in the ancient logs. Coffee's a good distraction, but I'm more into coffee grounds than coffee.
