Question

I'm trying to add swagger documentation on my laravel rest API. First of all, I have installed the composer require "darkaonline/l5-swagger" and then composer require zircote/swagger-php then I have run
php artisan vendor:publish --provider "L5Swagger\L5SwaggerServiceProvider"
but the follwuing error occures.
League\Flysystem\Exception : Impossible to create the root directory "".
at C:\xampp\htdocs\landing-temp\vendor\league\flysystem\src\Adapter\Local.php:112
108| clearstatcache(false, $root);
109|
110| if ( ! is_dir($root)) {
111| $errorMessage = isset($mkdirError['message']) ? $mkdirError['message'] : '';
> 112| throw new Exception(sprintf('Impossible to create the root directory "%s". %s', $root, $errorMessage));
113| }
114| }
115| }

What should I do to solve this problem?

Answer 1

For Laravel 8. Documentation says that it uses a package auto-discovery feature. But it's not true.
You have to add to your config/app.php in providers section:
L5Swagger\L5SwaggerServiceProvider::class,
Then, you have to run the
php artisan config:cache
And only then, you can run the
php artisan vendor:publish --provider 'L5Swagger\L5SwaggerServiceProvider'

Answer 2

Versions: Laravel 6, darkaonline/l5-swagger : "6."*
Just add this line in your .env file
L5_SWAGGER_GENERATE_ALWAYS=true
Then run this command
php artisan config:cache
At the end run this command
php artisan vendor:publish --provider "L5Swagger\L5SwaggerServiceProvider"
This worked for me :)

Answer 3

composer require darkaonline/l5-swagger
For use of #SWG annotation we are going to install the following package,
composer require zircote/swagger-php
and then run this artisan command,
php artisan vendor:publish --provider 'L5Swagger\L5SwaggerServiceProvider'

Answer 4

check your read/write permissions:
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/installation#directory-permissions
as root:
cd /dir/to/your/laravel-app
chmod -R 750 .
chmod -R 770 ./storage
chmod -R 770 ./bootstrap/cache
And what also worked me after I checked the permissions: php artisan config:cache source or for laravel versions > 7 php artisan optimize
