Laravel Scout:Import Fails with Algolia Client v4

[Gautamsam3]

Algolia Search client v4 not compatible with Laravel 11

According to Laravel's documentation, running the command 'composer require algolia/algoliasearch-client-php' successfully installs version 4 of the Algolia Search client, which was released last week.

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

@Gautamsam3 the error is not algolia php package here. The error here is on laravel/scout side. They should define there required algolia SDK PHP version correctly currently they only support V3 and for V4 they need adopt the code.

Referencing here a blog post about how to handle "optional" dependencies correctly: https://github.com/alexander-schranz/composer-optional-dependencies

For you you can only require the supported version currently via:

composer require algolia/algoliasearch-client-php:"^3.0"

So this bug / feature request should be reported to https://github.com/laravel/scout
