Problem when installing Livewire on Jetstream

[AbeGNING]

• Jetstream Version: 0.6.4
• Laravel Version: 8.0
• PHP Version: 7.4.9

Description:

I'm new to Jetstream, but I get the same error after trying to install it several times.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. I installed Laravel 8 with laravel new project --dev.
2. then Jetstream with composer require laravel/jetstream.
3. Livewire installation: php artisan jetstream: install livewire
4. Compiling the frontend assets: npm install && npm run dev
5. I encounter the error when I do: php artisan serve or php artisan vendor: publish --tag = jetstream-views

Hi @AbeGNING,

I was unable to reproduce your error. I followed the steps exactly and everything worked perfectly for me.

My best guess as to what is going on:

• The ::macro method was PR'd into that class 2 months ago (to 7.x AND master (8.x)): [7.x] Make ComponentAttributeBag Macroable framework#33354
• Therefore, my only guess is that you are using a version of Laravel before that PR made it in. This is odd because you explicitly newed up a Laravel app with `--dev.

One thing you could try is running: composer global update "laravel/installer:^4.0" (If that doesn't work, manually bump your ~/.composer/composer.json file's laravel/installer version to "^4.0").

Hope one of these things helps!

--dev was giving me an old version of Laravel last night too. So this might be composer's fault somehow. I don't know enough about its inner workings to assign blame, but I definitely witnessed some misbehavior.

I was experiencing the exact same problems.
composer global update "laravel/installer:^4.0" did not fix it as the installer was not updated on 4.0

but

manually bumping the ~/.composer/composer.json file's laravel/installer version to "^4.0", followed by installer update, fixed the problems.

Thank you.
