Laravel 5 - env local debug true no errors shown

Question

I'm trying to enable the debug for my app but it looks like I don't have any feedback.

The environment is set to local (in the .env file) and if I run

php artisan env 

I get this

Current application environment: local 

The debug config for my local env is set to true

return [      'debug' => true, 

Also if I set in my main config file (app.php inside the config folder) the debug = true I still have ho feedback that there is an error in the code.

I only have an empty page if there is an error in the code (as for debug = false)

What am I missing?

I have worked around the issue by chmod -R 777 storage/ on my host machine (Mac OS X). On my guest machine (Ubuntu 14.04) chmod -R 777 storage/ did not change permissions actually.
