APP_DEBUG=true not working?

@CharlesW

Make sure your .env.example file contains the following

APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true

Later rename file .env.example to .env

This should fix the problem.

@as-many, thanks for the fast feedback. My .env file starts with those lines, and I even copied and pasted yours into to make sure I didn’t have a typo.

Thinking it could be a permissions issue, I’ve also set `stora recursively to 777. No joy.

@CharlesW

Maybe try to stop your server and restart it.

Sometimes that solves the issue.

Thanks for the idea. I tried it, and no change.

Try to delete the storage/meta/compiled.php file.

If you haven't this file, you can run the command php artisan optimize

Hope that solves your issue.

Is it actually set? Try dumping this:

Config::get('app.debug')

Try to delete the storage/meta/compiled.php file. If you haven't this file, you can run the command php artisan optimize

There’s no storage/meta directory, and as far as I can tell Lumen’s Artisan doesn’t support optimize.

In case it’s useful, when I do php artisan --version I get “Laravel Framework version Lumen (5.1.2) (Laravel Components 5.1.*)”.

Is it actually set?

@zachleigh, that appears to be NULL.

The solution was to uncomment the line Dotenv::load(__DIR__.'/../'); in bootstrap/app.php.

Seems weird that this is commented out by default, especially when their use is documented at http://lumen.laravel.com/docs/installation.

Thanks I ran into the same error this helped me
