WooCommerce template throws error

[besrabasant]

I am not able to make the cart/cart.blade.php work.

it Throws error

( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError: Call to a member function startSection() on null in

Can you show the content of your cart.blade.php here? It’s difficult to troubleshoot code we cannot see.

[besrabasant]

It's kind of strange... But even if I keep just

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
@endsection

in the template file... It throws an error.

The only thing that works is if I keep the template file empty.

[MWDelaney]

Does it work if you use the full contents of the default PHP template from WooCommerce?

[besrabasant]

No. It only works if I keep the template file empty.

Hey, you should not use @extends and @section in this template. Have a look into the original template from WooCommerce plugin and if the original template doesn't contain get_header or get_footer function call, don't use @extends or @section in your template.

Also, those templates are called without context, so no $__env variable is available, so you have to define this variable in your template with $__env = App\sage('blade'). The code for the cart template should look like this:

@php
$__env = App\sage('blade');
wc_print_notices();
do_action( 'woocommerce_before_cart' );
@endphp

<form class="woocommerce-cart-form" action="{{ wc_get_cart_url() }}" method="post">
  @php
  do_action( 'woocommerce_before_cart_table' );
  @endphp

	<table class="shop_table shop_table_responsive cart woocommerce-cart-form__contents" cellspacing="0">
		<thead>
			<tr>
				<th class="product-remove">&nbsp;</th>
				<th class="product-thumbnail">&nbsp;</th>
				<th class="product-name">{{ esc_html_e( 'Product', 'woocommerce' ) }}</th>
				<th class="product-price">{{ esc_html_e( 'Price', 'woocommerce' ) }}</th>
				<th class="product-quantity">{{ esc_html_e( 'Quantity', 'woocommerce' ) }}</th>
				<th class="product-subtotal">{{ esc_html_e( 'Total', 'woocommerce' ) }}</th>
			</tr>
		</thead>
		<tbody>
      @php
      do_action( 'woocommerce_before_cart_contents' );
      @endphp

      @php
      $items = WC()->cart->get_cart();
      @endphp

      @foreach($items as $cart_item)
        @php
				$_product   = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_product', $cart_item['data'], $cart_item, $loop->index );
        $product_id = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_product_id', $cart_item['product_id'], $cart_item, $loop->index );
        @endphp

        ...

			@endforeach

      @php
      do_action( 'woocommerce_cart_contents' );
      @endphp

      ...

      @php
      do_action( 'woocommerce_after_cart_contents' );
      @endphp
		</tbody>
	</table>
  @php
  do_action( 'woocommerce_after_cart_table' );
  @endphp
</form>

<div class="cart-collaterals">
	@php
  do_action( 'woocommerce_cart_collaterals' );
	@endphp
</div>

@php
do_action( 'woocommerce_after_cart' );
@endphp

Ok, investigation done. If you append following code at the beginning of the .blade.php file, everything will work.

@php
$__env = App\sage('blade');
@endphp

[besrabasant]

like every .blade.php or just the woocommerce templates.

[besrabasant]

Now it's working... Thanks
@mejta

just removing the item is not working

Bug is solved by #5

I'm having the same problem with the latest version of this package and woo 3.5.4.
It's not throwing an error, but it's not loading any styles for that page

Is the @extends method fixed or it's still not recommended?

[mmirus]

Hey @arthurkirkosa - can you provide more detail on what you're trying to do, e.g., what template you're editing?

AFAIK the correct approach is still what @mejta indicated above:

Have a look into the original template from WooCommerce plugin and if the original template doesn't contain get_header or get_footer function call, don't use @extends or @section in your template.

[arthurkirkosa]

With @mejta 's approach works.

Was wondering if that's the only way to do it. If so, I'm already doing it :)
