如何解决此解析错误：“语法错误，意外'为'（T_AS）”？

Question

When I run command php artisan serve, I got this error:

local.ERROR: exception 'Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException' with message 'syntax error, unexpected 'as' (T_AS)' in D:\xampp\htdocs\laravel\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Http\Request.php‌​:705 Stack trace: #0 {main}

Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin'], function() {

    Route::get('/', [ 'as' => 'admin.login', 'uses' => 'Admin\AuthController@getLogin' ]);
    Route::post('/login', [ 'as' => 'admin.checkLogin', 'uses' => 'Admin\AuthController@checkLogin' ]);
    Route::get('/logout', [ 'as' => 'admin.logout', 'uses' => 'Admin\AuthController@getLogout' ]);

    Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function() {

        Route::get('/dashboard', function(){
            return view('admin::user.dashboard');
        });

        Route::get('/users', [ 'as' => 'user.index', 'uses' => 'UserController@index' ]);

    });
});

There is an error in your code (possibly not related at all with artisan). Question is many people get an error when running an artisan command, and they think the error is related to artisan. Fact is artisan won't run well when you have some particular errors in your code.

As artisan won't show the full stack error, you must check the logs as @chanafdo suggested. Check the last error stack in the most recent file in the directory storage\logs.
