Answer 1

This error generally display when you install jwt package in laravel 5.5 version. then after you set service providers and run following command.
php artisan jwt:generate
then you seen this error message in terminal.
how to resolve it? simple follow this step
Step - 1 Re-install package
composer require tymon/jwt-auth:dev-develop --prefer-source
or the following is a new release package use laravel 6.X
composer require tymon/jwt-auth:1.0.*
in this developement version this errors fixed.
Step - 2 Set Service Provider
'providers' => [
....
Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\JWTAuthServiceProvider::class to
Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider::class
],
Step - 3 Generate key
php artisan jwt:secret

Answer 2

Go to JWTGenerateCommand.php file located in vendor/tymon/src/Commands and paste this method
public function handle() { $this->fire(); }

Answer 3

It's never a great idea to change anything in the vendor folder but the there's two ways to deal with this ...
Generate a random string yourself and just change the value in the JWT config file.
Go to Tymon\JWTAuth\Commands\JWTGenerateCommand and change the fire method to handle.

Answer 4

go to given file path
vendor/tymon/jwt-auth/src/Commands/JWTGenerateCommand.php
change function name
public function fire() to public function handle()
run command:
php artisan jwt:generate

Answer 5

I'm publishing this answer because I have crash in this error more than one time.
The only solution I found that it works with Laravel 5.6 is the following:
Add "tymon/jwt-auth": "1.0.0-rc.1" to composer.json and run composer update
Open config/app.php and add the following:
config/app.php:
'providers' => [
/*
* JWT Service Provider...
*/
Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider::class,
],
'aliases' => [
'JWTAuth' => Tymon\JWTAuth\Facades\JWTAuth::class,
'JWTFactory' => Tymon\JWTAuth\Facades\JWTFactory::class,
],
Execute:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\LaravelServiceProvider"
Finally, execute: php artisan jwt:secret
After all that, when I hit my endpoint for login I got the following exception:
Class Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\JWT\NamshiAdapter does not exist
This was fixed by:
Open config/jwt.php and change the following:
config/jwt.php:
'jwt' => Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\JWT\Namshi::class,
'auth' => Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\Auth\Illuminate::class,
'storage' => Tymon\JWTAuth\Providers\Storage\Illuminate::class,
Finally, note that in order to work your User model should be defined as follows:
class User extends Authenticatable implements JWTSubject
{
...
public function getJWTIdentifier()
{
return $this->getKey();
}
public function getJWTCustomClaims()
{
return [];
}
...
}

Answer 6

I can advise one solution. Go to JWTGenerateCommand.php file located in vendor/tymon/src/Commands and paste this part of code public function handle() { $this->fire(); }
I know this is not an elegant solution, but it works. I hope this might help until official fix arrive.

Answer 7

Change fire() function to handle() in this path
vendor/tymon/jwt-auth/src/commands/JWTGenerateCommand.php

Answer 8

In the file path: /vendor/tymon/jwt-auth/src/Commands/JWTGenerateCommand.php
Add public function
public function handle()
{
$this->fire();
}
