Is your application.blade.php file inside the layouts folder?

Blade template just not working
I copied it exactly from Laravel documentation. My child.blade.php:
@extends('layouts.application')
@section('title', 'Page Title')
@section('sidebar')
<p>This is appended to the master sidebar.</p>
@endsection
@section('content')
<p>This is my body content.</p>
@endsection
My application.blade.php:
<html>
<head>
<title>App Name - @yield('title')</title>
</head>
<body>
@section('sidebar')
This is the master sidebar.
@show
<div class="container">
@yield('content')
</div>
</body>
</html>
In web:
Route::get('blade', function () {
return view('child');
});
However, when I visit the URL it just shows me: @extends('layouts.application') in plain HTML text?!

I see you have two layouts, make sure you are using the correct one. Also, you @include('sidebar') in application.blade.php.
Level 2
I have two layouts, app.blade.php is the old one. I made application.blade.php to test why it's not working (using documentation example, but still the same problem).
@extends('layouts.application')
I tried removing everything related to the sidebar, still the same result. GIF: https://gyazo.com/28027a265d6ca552836f9eebe67daf6a

Are you sure you have PHP running on the server?
Level 2
I'm using Laravel local development server, how should I install PHP? I'm running windows.
Level 53
Remove the sidebar section from the child.blade.php file and the layout and try again. I think its failing after extending the layout.
Level 2
I said I removed everything related to the sidebar section. It can be seen from the gif posted too: https://gyazo.com/28027a265d6ca552836f9eebe67daf6a

Didn't hurt but also didn't make it better :( https://gyazo.com/1eb08006492d81820f0549a9fed7d437

Also, make sure that when you refresh the browser, you have the dev tools open and cache disabled checked.
Level 122
This might sound odd, but using your browser tools, inspect the network traffic when you refresh the page.
In the response that comes from the server, is @ the very first character received?
Level 2
Just tried it with Google Chrome, still the same result. Cache disabled, network response first character is '@':

Maybe it really is related to PHP somehow.. I once had it working with virtualbox, now using php artisan serve it's not working.
Level 53
@snapey must have the answer for you because he knew about it. Other than that, Valet is awesome. I use both Valet and Homestead depending on the project and I like the convenience. I personally, never used the artisan serve server.
Level 2
I wish I could use Valet but I'm not on a mac. I used 'php artisan serve' because compared to Homestead (when I used it last time), it is much simpler.
Level 53
True, it is simple but you lose the flexibility of Homestead. Homestead is a pain to setup on Windows but it does have a lot of advantages. There is plenty of discussion on solving Windows specific issues with Homestead install. But, Homestead has far less issues than using WAMP or XAMP.
Level 2
I understand but it should work with my solution aswell..
Level 53
I agree that it should work. It could be a strange issue with Sublime. Try deleting the @extends line and re-typing it in...don't copy and paste to see if it matters. I have had issues with Sublime before and that usually fixes the problem.
Level 2
Unfortunately that is not the problem :(
Level 53
Maybe its a bad install.
Level 1
You didn't close one of the sections in your view child.blade.php; isn't it should be:
@extends('layouts.application')
@section('title', 'Page Title')
@section('sidebar')
<p>This is appended to the master sidebar.</p>
@endsection
@section('content')
<p>This is my body content.</p>
@endsection
@endsection

I had this happen with me, and after hours of trying I couldn't it out, so created a new project (laravel new project) and put the code in there and everything worked ok. As @ejdelmonico says, it may be a bad install.
