php - How to debug Laravel 5 projects?

Question

I ran command

php artisan optimize

and changed debug settings in app.php file to be

'debug' => 'true',

and added 'everyone' to have full access over 'storage' folder. I don't know what else I can do to let debugger work in my Laravel 5 project. I'm stuck with 'Whoops, looks like something went wrong' message. Any Ideas??

Answer 1

The debug => true will just show you the full error stack when you hit an error with your app. It doesn't give metrics and statistics. If you are looking for that kind of information check out the article here:
