Hi all
Eventually I came across a comment on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31895854/laravel-artisan-optimize-best-practices specifying the use of
php artisan optimize:clear
which does work as expected in my case.
Best regards

Loss of session messages following artisan optimize and redirection
Hi all,
My project is run on Laravel 10
For some reason I need to be able to update .env's data and the corresponding config's file. I managed to do so in the controller's store method and then I called
Artisan::call("optimize");
before redirecting to the page I came from
return back()->with("success", $message);
I can see the session data if I log them before the redirection but on the page I am redirected to I don't have them any more
Furthermore If I comment the artisan call, I can see the session data displayed on the page I have been redirected but my new config is not taken into account.
How can I do then ?
Thanks in advance for your answers

You can cache the config directly which should be enough to take account of the .env changes.
Artisan::call('config:cache')
Aside, I don't understand what you are doing or why? How are you changing the .env file if not also able to execute the artisan command directly?

Like @tykus says you should be able to run any artisan command programmatically, but why are you changing the env? It sounds to me that you should move those things into the database instead.

For no good reason.
This is and will always be a horrid hack

@chgoub this will not end well...
wants to be able to update the configuration whenever he wants through a Laravel interface

@chgoub programmatically edit the .env and stay away from caching would be my suggestion
be aware that a mistake in editing the env could lead to an inaccessible application, where you cannot recover without going into the server.
