After GIT Clone: Call to a member function routes() on null - elbambolo - 06-25-2025
Good morning,
I have a problem that I can neither solve nor understand:
Let me explain better:
I develop locally, I see the site with php spark serve. everything is perfect.
I do git clone on a remote machine.
I then run composer install and then composer update to install and update all the dependencies.
Of course I go to update app.baseURL with the address of the remote machine, but I get the error:
Call to a member function routes() on null
The first thing that comes to mind is the shield. So I go to check if the shield is installed correctly.
After doing this, I am completely blocked and I don't know what else to check.

run php spark routes to see if they are there.
check and make sure that shield copied all the config files over to app/Config
app/Config check your uriProtocol sometimes it needs to be changed.

service('auth') returns null in your routes that is why you are getting the error. check if you have installed shield correctly. See http://shield.codeigniter.com/getting_started/install/
