Unable to use the Database option with Statamic CLI 3.6.0 - Receive FATAL ERROR

[bzerangue]

I am having problems with the Statamic CLI setting up a new website with a database.

I am running Statamic CLI 3.6.0 on macOS 15.3 running Laravel Herd 1.14.1, using php 8.3 (since php 8.4 has all the deprecated warnings with the one of the dependencies).

The following happens after I go through the steps of creating a new site via the CLI, I am able to create a super user and then, when it would normally prompt me for what repositories or sections that I want to be moved to the Database, it doesn't show me those options and it gives me the fatal error. Nothing is moved to the database.

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function Statamic\Cli\Concerns\collect() in /Users/user/.composer/vendor/statamic/cli/src/Concerns/ConfiguresDatabase.php:18

NOTE: Same error happens with PHP 8.4, except we have all the deprecated errors with the the thecodingmachine/safe dependency that the laragraph/utils dependency is using. And I can't tell which Statamic dependency is using the laragraph/utils dependency.

FOLLOW UP - I wiped my machine and reinstalled a fresh install of macOS 15.3.1.

• Installed Herd 1.14.1
• Composer version 2.8.5 2025-01-21 15:23:40 / PHP version 8.3.17 (/Users/user/Library/Application Support/Herd/bin/php83)
• Statamic CLI Tool 3.6.0

SAME ERROR! I don't know what is going on.

I'll get a fix out today, sorry about that! 😬

In the meantime, if you run composer global require laravel/installer and try again, you should be able to create a new site.

Just tagged a release which should fix this issue.

You can run composer global update statamic/cli to update the Statamic CLI.
