Error after update - saror88 - 03-04-2020
Hi,
I recently upgraded to CI4 and also updated my WAMP to the latest version.
But my project hasn't worked since. There is MY_Controller class that is inherited from CI_Controller placed in application/core/
It gives me this error:
Code:
An uncaught Exception was encountered
Type: Error
Message: The "Generator" class is reserved for internal use and cannot be manually instantiated
Filename: C:\wamp64\www\alnoor\system\core\Loader.php
Line Number: 1285
Backtrace:
File: C:\wamp64\www\alnoor\application\core\MY_Controller.php
Line: 7
Function: __construct
File: C:\wamp64\www\alnoor\index.php
Line: 315
Function: require_onceAnybody knows what this means or how can I get it fixed?

Version 3.x to 4 is less an upgrade than a migration - you'll have to rewrite the code for the site. See https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/installation/upgrade_4xx.html for details.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
It turns out there's a built in class called 'Generator', and I have a custom library with the same name. So that created the conflict.
I changed my library's name to 'My_generator' and changed the code accordingly and it works now, or at least shows a homepage.
However, you're right about the migration, I might get more errors like this as I test my code.

@saror88 You should read up on namespaces. They'll help you to not have conflicts like this, and you'll get a whole lot more use out of CI4 once you get used to it.
