How to get this working with 4.7.0?

[gphg]

I want to install it and get working, but I have one issue:

php spark shield:setup

Is not working.

I managed to get this package installed, btw.

composer require codeigniter4/shield

I expect there are going to be other warning message and I have to run other commands, but it just get installed correctly.

Solution:
My issue has to do with writable/cache/FileLocatorCache. It is existing before the shield package installed. I have to delete this file to get it working.

I don’t see any issues running the setup command on my end.
Please run php spark to make sure that the Shield commands are actually listed and registered.
Could you please provide more details?

These shield command list doesn't appear. You can try it yourself on fresh install project (4.7.0).

I suspect it requires me to modify the composer.json. But I don't know how.

1. composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter ci47shield
2. cd ci47shield
3. composer require codeigniter4/shield
4. setup database credentials via .env
5. php spark shield:setup

No issues. Everything is running okay.

Please provide the output of these two commands:
php --version
And
composer show codeigniter4/shield

I must be missed the composer require codeigniter4/shield.

Edit: it is working on new fresh installation that was created minutes ago, but not working with one I just created this morning.

Edit 2:
I get it working after delete the vendor then composer install, FINALLY DELETE THE writable/cache/FileLocatorCache.

It seems you are not run composer update after adding the package.

[gphg]

I did several times, in fact.

The problem has to do with spark optimize and I forgot to delete the cached classmap file.
