I failed to put it in the correct directory.
I placed it under project/app/config, it should have been /project/config.
=> it has to be the root directory of the project, not of the "app" folder inside the project

Hello guys,
I am struggling to access the config in lumen.
I have created a folder "config" in the root_dir of my app. I return a dummy value there in config/app.php
return ['dummy' => 'test'];
In boostrap/app.php, the following is uncommented
$app->configure('app');
In a Controller, i try to access it:
$dummy = config('app.dummy')
but dummy is always null.
What am I missing?
