What is a best practice to disable debug output when accessing by commandline?

Hi.

Laravel debug info is really useful and helps me.

When I developing an API or something server-side functions, sometimes I don't need those debug messages.

How should I disable those debug modes?

Add a disable stuffs at a route.

Roeute::get( '/delivery_statement', function() {
    \Debugbar::disable();   // this doesn't woks at here
        some_undefined_function_called_it_causes_an_error();
});

Add an HTTP header such as 'Laravel-Disable-Debug: disabled', and detect it on serverside.

curl -H 'Laravel-Disable-Debug: disabled' http://localhost/api/path-to/debug

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Usually on production you never need those debug messages.

Open .env file

APP_DEBUG=false

and clear cache

@sergiu17 Thank you for your reply ;)

I just disable debug from commandline access. To rewrite .env file, I have to open .env, edit and save.

I just want to disable (or... something useful mode for commandline) debugging at commandline.

@YOUSAN - ok, got it. you could make use of app()->runningInConsole(). Add this is AppServiceProvider, should work

if(app()->runningInConsole()) {
    \Debugbar::disable();
}
