PHP Lumen Call to a member function connection() on null

php laravel eloquent lumen

You should uncomment the Eloquent $app->withEloquent() call in bootstrap/app.php.

Update:

Latest version of the docs https://lumen.laravel.com/docs/5.8/database, check section Eloquent ORM

php laravel eloquent lumen

As per 2021 here is the check list to check against to fix this error.

You have to:

Create the database manually via e.g. PHPMyAdmin;
Configure the database connection it in the .env file (i.e. set DB_CONNECTION, DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD);
As per above answers uncomment $app->withFacades();, $app->withEloquent(); lines in bootstrap/app.php;
If you use your Eloquent model within PHPUnit tests you have to boot the Lumen (or Laravel) first by adding the following line to your test class setUp() method:
```
parent::setUp()
```

That should fix it.

php laravel eloquent lumen

I think you just uncomment $app->withFacades();, $app->withEloquent(); lines in bootstrap/app.php;

And check again, it works for me.
