Laravel Debugbar Not Showing

Question

I have a project with Laravel version 7.28. I run

composer require barryvdh/laravel-debugbar --dev,

After that I added Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider::class to app/config.php under providers and added

'Debugbar' => Barryvdh\Debugbar\Facade::class

to app/config.php under aliases. Then I run

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider"

Even though APP_DEBUG in .env is true and I terminated and rerun the app debugbar is not showing. Where did I make my mistake?

@boolfalse yes, i already run ````php artisan optimize:clear``` but it didn't work unfortunately — jigsaw075, Mar 15 '21 at 12:23
is this a typo "app/config.php" ? There should be "config/app.php" — boolfalse, Mar 15 '21 at 12:31
@boolfalse yes, that was a typo. i run composer dump-autoload but it didn't work. any other thoughts? — jigsaw075, Mar 15 '21 at 12:58
Does anything discussed at https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-debugbar/issues/870 resolve the issue? — James Clark, Mar 15 '21 at 13:02
@JamesClarkDeveloper unfortunately no, i looked at that issue first but it didn't help — jigsaw075, Mar 15 '21 at 13:47
Debugbar works only in `Development` mode so please check `APP_ENV` because it must be `locale` and `APP_DEBUG` must be `true` — Mahmoud Mohamed Ramadan, Apr 09 '22 at 04:22

I checked the config/debugbar.php, I see the new key DEBUGBAR_ENABLED with default is false. Then add it to .env file: DEBUGBAR_ENABLED=true

Make sure you are running on right port. I had php backend (running on port 8000) and react frontend (running on port 3000) and I did everything you have described above but it never worked. The issue I had was that I was checking if the debugbar showed up on port 3000 (which it never did sadly). I went to check on port 8000 and the debugbar was sitting there the whole time.

I didn't end up using the php debugbar because I think it only works if your frontend code is written in php (though not 100% sure).

I ended up debugging using postman. It doesn't have all the functionalities that the debugbar offers but it is a great tool to use if you just want to do basic debugging.
