This error is due to PHP version. Which version are you using? — Sehdev, Feb 13 '20 at 09:12

This error is caused by the PHP version. Most probably PHP 7.2 version. See below:

Document changes of PHP 7.2

To solve this issue:

Donwgrade your PHP version

OR

Modify line 1185 of the vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder.php file

$originalWhereCount = count ($ query-> wheres);

to

$originalWhereCount = 0;
if (is_array ($ query-> wheres) || is_object ($ query-> wheres)) {
    $originalWhereCount = count ($ query-> wheres);
}
