Livewire V3 Attributes not working on production

In my local dev, the application works great, but on production, it appears anything that relates to the PHP attributes is not firing. There are no errors in the Apache logs, so I'm not sure how to fix this.

For instance, I have this event firing on a multi-stage form, but the event never triggers. Works fine in my local.

    #[On('intro-questions')]
    public function introFinished($status)
    {
        $this->introQuestionsFinished = $status;
    }

I'm using Php 8.2 with Reflections enabled. From what I can tell, attributes rely on the Reflections API so that's not the issue. Any ideas?

It seems like the issue might be related to the PHP version or configuration on your production server. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

Check PHP Version: Ensure that the PHP version on your production server is compatible with the version you are using locally. Livewire v3 requires PHP 7.4 or higher. If your production server is running an older version, consider upgrading it.
Verify Reflection Extension: Although you mentioned that Reflections are enabled, it's worth double-checking if the Reflection extension is installed and enabled on your production server. You can create a PHP file with the following code to check:

<?php
phpinfo();

Open this file in your browser and search for "Reflection" to see if it's listed. If it's not enabled, you may need to enable it in your PHP configuration file (php.ini) or contact your hosting provider for assistance.

Clear Caches: Sometimes, caching can cause issues with attribute-based event listeners. Try clearing any relevant caches on your production server. For example, if you are using Laravel, you can run the following commands:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear

Check Error Logs: Although you mentioned there are no errors in the Apache logs, it's still worth checking other error logs such as Laravel's log file (storage/logs/laravel.log) or any other custom log files you may have set up. Look for any relevant error messages that could provide more insight into the issue.
Livewire Version: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Livewire. You can update it by running the following command:

composer update livewire/livewire

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it might be helpful to provide more information about your production environment, such as the specific error message (if any) or the server configuration.

In case anyone else runs into this, the problem was the Attribute classes in Livewire moved to a new location. I didn't notice it in PHPStorm until I wasted a lot of time on the symptoms. Glad it's resolved though.

@jasonfrye what was the old location and what is the new location? And how does it matter if it worked in your local?

@burfi It was a caching issue, if I remember correctly. The namespace path changed for the Attribute class, which never presented a problem locally but did when taking it to production.
