Excel::download() returns blank page

[Kajaia]

Excel::download(new UsersExport, 'users.xlsx') returns blank page instead of downloading a file. How can I fix that?

Better to show the entire code, I can't tell based on this amount of information. Make sure you return Excel::download(..

UsersExport:

<?php

namespace App\Exports;

use App\Models\User;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\FromCollection;

class UsersExport implements FromCollection
{
    public function collection()
    {
        return User::all();
    }
}

UserController:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Exports\UsersExport;
use Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel;

class UsersController extends Controller 
{
    public function index() 
    {
        return view('users');
    }

    public function export() 
    {
        return Excel::download(new UsersExport, 'users.xlsx');
    }
}

Route:

Route::get('users/export/', 'UsersController@export')->name('users.export');

View:

<a href="{{ route('users.export') }}">Export users</a>

Should work like that, might be something specific to your app code

Tried on a new Laravel project and it worked. Don't understand why it isn't working on my current project 😒

Perhaps a middleware, another package... try disabling things one by one

Okay, I'll try. Thank you for your support.

The problem was with LaravelShoppinCart package. After removing this package exports worked just fine.
