How can I check debug mode on Laravel

Question

I want to see errors when I work in the localhost.

App\Exceptions\handler.php

I Tried:

public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
    if ($this->isHttpException($exception) && env('APP_DEBUG') === false) {
        return response()->view('errors.404', [], 404);
    } else {
        return parent::render($request, $exception);
    }
}

or;

if ($this->isHttpException($exception) && App::environment('APP_DEBUG') === false)

I tried it as above but it does not work.

Thanks.

APP_DEBUG is set to true in .env

Answer 1

To avoid big problems with cache, the right way to check is:

config('app.debug') == false

Answer 2

Try to change

env('APP_DEBUG') === false

to

env('APP_DEBUG') == false
