Fix Array to string conversion In RouteFileRegistrar.php Laravel

Using array parameters on Route::group()

In Laravel you may encounter such errors:

RouteFileRegistrar.php line 35

or

Illuminate\Routing\Router::loadRoutes(): Failed opening required 'Array' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php')

or

ErrorException: Array to string conversion

This is because of the routes are grouped with group() method and there are some mistakes in the group definition.

You cannot use a mixed format of grouping routes like:

Route::prefix('auth')
->group([
    'namespace'=>'Auth',
],function ()

as you see the first argument of the “group” method is an array that it also can include the “prefix”, while I extracted it outside of the “group” method and it brings this error.

Solution:

Organize your grouped routes!

Configure and group the routes like below will solve your issue.

Route::group(
   [
     'namespace'=>'Auth',
     'middleware'=>'api', 
     'prefix' => 'auth', 
     'as'=> 'user.auth.'
   ]
   , function () {
	Route::post('register', 'AuthController@register');
	Route::post('login', 'AuthController@login');
	Route::post('logout', 'AuthController@logout');
	Route::post('refresh', 'AuthController@refresh');
	Route::post('me', 'AuthController@me');
});

I would like to introduce two packages for Laravel that I have recently developed: Laravel Pay Pocket, a modern multi-wallet package, and Laravel Failed Jobs, a UI for the Laravel Failed Jobs Table. I hope they may be of help to you.
