Answer 1

To find out where exactly the issue is, you can temporarily remove $this->files->delete($configPath); from vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Console/ConfigCacheCommand.php. By doing so bootstrap/cache/config.php does not get automatically deleted and you can look up the mentioned line (here 241) in the config.php file.

I am facing the same issue. I only add toarray() function to Setting::first() then its worked. config only get array values not array of objects.

config([
        'global' =>  Settings::first()->toarray(),
    ]);
