I have an exception in one of my views. However, instead of telling me the name of the view so I can find it and fix it, laravel says it is in app/storage/views/110a3ecc0aa5ab7e6f7f50ef35a67a8b, which is meaningless.
How do I disable this view caching, so that laravel uses and refers to the actual files?
Out of the box? You can't. But you can extend the BladeCompiler class, overriding the method resposible for checking if the view has been expired:
class MyBladeCompiler extends BladeCompiler {
public function isExpired($path)
{
if ( ! \Config::get('view.cache'))
{
return true;
}
return parent::isExpired($path);
}
}
You'll need to replace the BladeCompiler instance in IoC container, with your own compiler:
$app = App::make('app'); // or just $app = app();
$app->bindShared('blade.compiler', function($app)
{
$cache = $app['path.storage'].'/views';
return new MyBladeCompiler($app['files'], $cache);
});
And then you just need to create that key in your app/config/view.php file
<?php
return [
'cache' => false,
'paths' => [base_path().'/resources/views'],
'pagination' => 'pagination::slider-3',
];
Or, like I do here:
return [
'cache' => in_array(App::environment(), ['production', 'staging']),
];
this worked for me... added this to the .env file
CACHE_EXPIRE=-1
In laravel > v9.7.0, you can add inside config/view.php:
'cache' => App::environment('local') ? false : true
Here is the PR: https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/41859
Solution
open php.ini
opcache.revalidate_freq=0
opcache.fast_shutdown=0
change to this. restart apache.
If you have artisan, it's easy to clear the cache
php artisan view:clear
If you don't have or don't want artisan (can't think why you wouldn't want it, it's very useful), you can from the root of your project do
cd storage/framework/views/
rm *.php
Laravel Creates view cache file because it has been told to do that. In .env File you will come across cache_driver which has default property as file change it to array.
You can clear cache in this way, as well:
// Clear cache in laravel
Route::get('/clear-cache', function() {
Artisan::call('cache:clear');
// return what you want
return "Cache is cleared";
});
Here is the full answer
Go to vendor/illuminate/BladeCompiler.php change these 2 lines
use Illuminate\View\Compilers\Compiler; class BladeCompiler extends Compiler implements CompilerInterface
with the following:
use App\Support\CustomCompiler; class BladeCompiler extends CustomCompiler implements CompilerInterface
in your app/support folder (or whatever structure you are using) create the following class
namespace App\Support;
use Illuminate\View\Compilers\Compiler;
class CustomCompiler extends Compiler {
public function isExpired($path) {
if ( !\config('blade.use_cache'))
return true;
return parent::isExpired($path);
}
}
your blade config file will look like this
return [
'use_cache' => false,
'cache' => storage_path('cache'),
'views' => resources_path('views')
];
auto dump and run....
If you are using MAMP, disable OPCache under Preferences, General, PHP-Cahce. just select off. thank me later.
Although some would call this sketchy, this was the quickest and most minimal way to do this on a small application I was working on
On the controller(s) that my routes pointed to:
public function __construct()
{
exec('php /full/path/to/artisan view:clear');
}
In development environment, I just add and modify the next:
bootstrap/start.php
$env = $app->detectEnvironment(function(){return 'testing';});
app/config/testing/cache.php add in array
'cache' => false,
app/config/view.php add in array
'cache' => false,
