PyroCMS 3 & Laravel: setLocale Compatability Error

The Problem

For the longest time I did the dance of setting up Apache, PHP-FPM and managing PHP versions on my Macbook Pro for website development using the PyroCMS 3 framework, but last week I got hit with this error when trying to create a new project:

`php

Declaration of Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorInterface::setLocale($locale) must be compatible with Symfony\Contracts\Translation\LocaleAwareInterface::setLocale(string $locale)

Solution #1: Change Your PHP CLI Version

After some Googling I found this answer:

"It looks like you ran composer update with a different PHP version than the one that is used to execute the application (see also #34482)." - [xabbuh on GitHub][github]

I battled with PHP Brew and tried to change my PHP CLI version, but it got very messy and I gave up, if I'm honest!

Time to try something else.

Solution #2: Laravel's Valet

[Valet][valet] is a really wonderful tool that sends all .test domains to localhost and matches them to to any folder(s) you set up, and it remarkably painless to use!

Because I'm on MacOS:

`bash

brew update

brew install php

At this point I already have Composer installed

composer global require laravel/valet

valet install

cd ~/Websites/cyc

valet park

And now I can go to cyc.test on my local machine and I am good to go, and there is no PHP error due to a mismatch between the CLI and Apache versions.

I am very happy to have found Valet! Good luck and happy developing to you all! 💻
