Description

As per Laravel's documentation, user needs to install Alogila client via following command:

composer require algolia/algoliasearch-client-php`

This by default installs latest version v4 of the Algolia Search client, which was recently released.

Issue:

Despite the successful installation, php artisan scout:import "App\Models\Variant" command results an error.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install algolia/algoliasearch-client-php in the project.
2. Configure model.
3. Import php artisan scout:import "App\Models\<model name>"

Thanks. Welcoming PR's to make sure we're compatible with v4 👍

If somebody require some references I did work on v3 -> v4 update in my own package. https://github.com/schranz-search/schranz-search/pull/414/files.

Linking also the Upgrade Guide from Algolia: https://www.algolia.com/doc/libraries/php/v4/upgrade/

The hard part is mostly if you want to keep V3 support then I think its lot of more work, else you can only do it for next major.

We can cut a new major release if need be.

Thanks @alexander-schranz

Your links helped a lot. I think the scout repo doesn't need many changes. I have made a few changes locally. Things worked fine for now. I'll be testing a little more tomorrow before submitting the PR

I hope everything goes well. I'm very excited to submit my first PR on Laravel's repo.

Yes this should/could have been a major release as it does break algolia/scout-extended dependencies

algolia/scout-extended#347

I've submitted PR algolia/scout-extended#348 to downgrade Laravel Scout to v10.11.5.

While we await approval and merge, you can run this Composer command in your project(s):

composer update laravel/scout v10.11.5

Hey ThumbTech,

You can to downgrade Laravel Scout to v10.11.5 by running this Composer command in your project(s):

composer update laravel/scout v10.11.5

[thumbtech]

composer update laravel/scout v10.11.5

composer require laravel/scout v10.11.5 actually does work

(Better IMO to leave scout-extended as is and just commit to v11 on scout, as numerous others have recommended.)

[mariuscucuruz]

this compatibility issue has been addressed in #348 and subsequently with the release of v3.1.1..
