I ran into something like that on that same method.

After a lot of searching I found out I was running a version of 7.3 PHP. Are you certain that you're running PHP 7.4.13? Does your machine have a folder for 7.3?

If I'm not mistaken it's the new syntax that 7.3 cannot handle: return $conversions->map(fn (Conversion $conversion) => $conversion->getName())->toArray();

Certainly yes I am running in cli n web with 7.4.13, checked on cli n web from instructions provided by @freekmurze.

I have 7.2 but it is being switched off now
