I was getting an error in Production (forge) that doesn't happen in my development (OSX) environment. "Class 'Laravel\Nova\Fields\TextArea' not found". I noticed that it should be "Textarea" instead of "TextArea", but this works fine locally. I am assuming this has to do with OSX being case insensitive while Forge/Linux is case sensitive.
Is the first thing you do when you get a new mac to reformat it with a case sensitive volume? Do you keep an extra volume for development that is case sensitive? Is there some other more reasonable magic trick I'm not thinking of?
By co-incidence - it's one of the nice side-effects to running your tests inside a Docker container. You can do it locally or via a service like Gitlab or various others. It's also nice to be able to match the OS/DB/etc from your server to catch other things like mysql/sqlite differences.
I just use homestead for development. It's basically the same disk image Forge uses in their servers so there's never any surprise.
