dd(): Call to undefined function
Hello,
I want to use dd()'; to debug my code, but I get the following error:
Call to undefined function App\Http\Controllers\dd()
This is my code:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class UserController extends Controller
{
public function signIn(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required',
'remember_me' => 'required'
]);
dd($request->input('email'));
$user = User::where('email', '=', $request->input('email'))->first();
if ($user != null) {
return response()->json($user);
}
return response()->json('No user found!');
}
public function generateHashedPassword($password = null)
{
if ($password != null) {
}
return false;
}
} ```

I am struggeling that same problem. Here an excerpt from my composer.json:
"require": {
"php": ">=7.1.3",
"laravel/lumen-framework": "5.7.*",
"vlucas/phpdotenv": "~2.2"
}
Unfortunately, dd() doesn't work anywhere.

dump(); is also not working. And it don't works anywhere.

has it ever worked or did it stop working after you did something? try doing composer update/install.. try also searching for dd() using ur IDE and see if it comes up.. (ie where its defined)
Level 23
oh i just saw that you are using LUMEN and not laravel.. maybe DD isnt available in lumen.. which seems a shame..
but you can write your own: https://github.com/larapack/dd/blob/master/src/helper.php

Depending what you need you could replace dd() with var_dump()
Level 51
Alternatively do composer require symfony/var-dumper which will give you dd()and dump()

var_dump(), works fine. But one year ago I used dd(); to output collections. It would be great if I get it working.

@jonyking - see my response above about installing symfony/var-dumper
Level 1
Not working when I also require symfony/var_dumper
Level 51
did you see composer install the package? If so might be worth doing composer dump-autoload and retrying.
Can you post any errors and your updated composer.json if this doesn't work.
However it should work

Apparently, dd() has been removed from Lumen 5.7. Strange decision.
