How do I disable filp/whoops package in Laravel 5.5 without removing it?

Question

Laravel 5.5 app. Originally 5.3. I installed the filp/whoops package as per the upgrade guide, but now I want to disable it, as I believe it is causing "out of memory" errors on my Homestead machine whenever I encounter an error, which is really annoying because all I see is "allowed memory size of XXXXXX bytes exhausted" instead of the real error, which is usually a parse error of some sort. I do NOT want to change the memory available to PHP as it matches what I have on my production server.

Is there any simple way to disable this package without removing it?

It's unlikely that Whoops is causing the out-of-memory errors, as it's not loaded or executed until an actual error is encountered. — ceejayoz, Dec 21 '17 at 18:50
Beside this, the Woops package is not activated on production. — common sense, Dec 21 '17 at 19:10

Try to add into app/Exceptions/Handler.php the following method:

protected function renderExceptionWithWhoops(Exception $e)
{
    return $this->renderExceptionWithSymfony($e, config('app.debug'));
}

This will override default implementation and should cause rendering exception without Whoops package.

Thanks! Sadly this did not solve my out of memory issue, but it appears to have worked for disabling Whoops. – fronzee Dec 21 '17 at 18:46

Shooting the messenger is never a good idea. Increase you memory limit on your local machine and let woops do its job - telling you what kind of error you have and fix this. – common sense Dec 21 '17 at 19:12
