Typed property App\Settings\GeneralSettings::$name must not be accessed before initialization

Typed property App\Settings\GeneralSettings::$name must not be accessed before initialization

I got this problem when I use this settings Class in some different namespace

Make sure you have $name property as public with your desired type in target setting class

namespace App\Settings;

use Spatie\LaravelSettings\Settings;

class GeneralSettings extends Settings
{
    public string $name; // <-- You need to have this line

    public static function group(): string
    {
        return 'general';
    }
}

@devscript-abdo, did @amrography solution solve the problem? If not, make sure you've migrated each property within your settings class.

@rubenvanassche problem solved by define a default value for the $name :
public $name = 'xyz';

@devscript-abdo @rubenvanassche I'm having the same issue getting

Typed property App\Settings\AdminSetting::$expired_payin_limit_notify must not be accessed before initialization

<?php

namespace App\Settings;

use Spatie\LaravelSettings\Settings;

class AdminSetting extends Settings
{
    public array $white_lists;

    public int $expired_payin_limit_notify;   //  <---  this has been defined
    public static function group(): string
    {
        return 'admin';
    }
}

There must be something wrong with mapping the properties from your database onto your settings class. Could you please check for typo's. We do unregister all public properties when the class is constructed so they can be loaded when required. That's why the exception says that the property is not initialized.

@rubenvanassche After i re-updated the value for the setting it issue seems to be fixed. Thanks.

Make sure, if your settings are cached, you clear your cache.

php artisan settings:clear-cache
