Laravel-debugbar: PhpDebugBar is not defined - Laravel 5.1

[omaromran]

Hi, I know that a similar issue has been solved before, but I tried to follow the same suggested procedures but none of them worked for me. I'm using Laravel 5.1 .

I'm getting the following 404 not found errors :

<http://my_website_url/_debugbar/assets/stylesheets?1436453519>
<http://my_website_url/_debugbar/assets/javascript?1423122680>

and <PhpDebugBar is not defined>

I put debugbar first in the ServiceProviders and I don't have a catchall in my routes. The only thing I have in my routes is the following:
<Route::get('/', 'WelcomeController@index');>

I'm also experiencing this issue. I solved this by adding 2 routes in the RouteServiceProvider.

$router->get( '/_debugbar/assets/stylesheets', '\Barryvdh\Debugbar\Controllers\AssetController@css' );
$router->get( '/_debugbar/assets/javascript', '\Barryvdh\Debugbar\Controllers\AssetController@js' );

I don't know if this is the best 'solution', but it works for me.

[omaromran]

@mikevrind thanks for your response but it didn't work on my side

[SaulBurgos]

Same problem , Any solution ?

[pbrisson]

+1 Should be fixed.

Here's a variant of @mikevrind solution that worked for me. Added this to my app/Http/routes.php:

Route::get('/_debugbar/assets/stylesheets', [
    'as' => 'debugbar-css',
    'uses' => '\Barryvdh\Debugbar\Controllers\AssetController@css'
]);

Route::get('/_debugbar/assets/javascript', [
    'as' => 'debugbar-js',
    'uses' => '\Barryvdh\Debugbar\Controllers\AssetController@js'
]);

[lorvent]

Its not working for me with that fix aswell,

its working fine for old projects but for a project i created yesterday its not working.

[SaulBurgos]

@pbrisson Work for me thanks ,

Laravel version 5.1.10 (LTS)
"barryvdh/laravel-debugbar": "^2.0"

providers:
BarryvdhDebugbarServiceProvider::class,

alias
BarryvdhDebugbarServiceProvider::class,

[pbrisson]

Found out that another one might be required for AJAX calls (open handler).

According to this, complete app/Http/routes.php would now be:

Route::get('/_debugbar/assets/stylesheets', [
    'as' => 'debugbar-css',
    'uses' => '\Barryvdh\Debugbar\Controllers\AssetController@css'
]);

Route::get('/_debugbar/assets/javascript', [
    'as' => 'debugbar-js',
    'uses' => '\Barryvdh\Debugbar\Controllers\AssetController@js'
]);

Route::get('/_debugbar/open', [
    'as' => 'debugbar-open',
    'uses' => '\Barryvdh\Debugbar\Controllers\OpenController@handler'
]);

may be this helps in debugging....

those errors coming up after running php artisan view:clear

i have a project in which debugbar exists for many months and working perfectly but just now i hit above command and problem started again.

ofcourse writing above code into routes.php fixes issue.

[mpmurph]

I have been using the debugbar with Laravel 5.1 for some weeks without incident - this problem only arose for me today too (I am now on v. 5.1.17)

@pbrisson Thanks for posting your patch - very helpful!

[hasokeric]

I have this issue in Lumen

[mpmurph]

The above patches are, unfortunately, no longer working for me (Debugbar v2.0.6 and Laravel v5.1.17). I too keep running up against the following:

http://localhost/_debugbar/assets/javascript?1423122680

Right now I have to turn off the debugbar to allow views to fully load, turning it back on only when I run into an error (so I can reload the error page with more info). Wondering if anyone has come up with a new workaround? Thanks!

[hasokeric]

@mpmurph for me even if i go to /vendor/..../config/debugbar.php and i change the route_prefix to something else like http://localhost/_got_something_new/assets/javascript?1423122680 it just never seems to find those assets. I have given up on it until a fix comes - just reverting to good old dd().

[mpmurph]

Thanks, @hasokeric! Will likely do the same!

[barryvdh]

Can someone create a working test case that I can easily run, so I can reproduce this?

[mpmurph]

Hi @barryvdh - I am pretty new to this so am not sure if this will help... I just created a new Laravel app. The only change I made was to require barryvdh/laravel-debugbar and then register the service provider and alias in app.php. I then tried to load the app on localhost (using MAMP) and got the Laravel 5 default home page to come up but the page doesn't stop loading and the 'scripts' panel of Firebug pops up with the javascript?1423122680() error as I have been getting in my app proper. The little loading message seems to be stuck at "Transferring data from fonts.gstatic.com" - perhaps that gives a clue as to the problem?

I have loaded up this fake app to github here: https://github.com/mpmurph/jserror - the .env file is the Laravel default and I removed it from .gitignore so if you want to fork the repo, the only thing you would have to do is build the vendor folder.

I am not sure if this is a good enough working test case scenario - or if it's what you had in mind - I'm still pretty new to coding and to Laravel. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help! Thank you!

p.s. Here's a screenshot of what Firebug is outputting at the breakpoint:

[mpmurph]

@barryvdh Update: I think the problem is only occurring in Firefox. Chrome and Safari seem to be working fine with the debugbar.

[mpmurph]

@barryvdh Suspecting this might actually be a Firebug problem! I have it on pretty much all the time for debugging but, turning it off, the pages are loading fine in Firefox with the debugbar.

I am wondering if others on this thread can also trace this problem to using Firebug 2.0.12 (released Sep. 2)?

[Erbenos]

I have the same problem using Chrome.

[Rhincodon]

This problem appears when we set Route::controller('/', 'SomeController') in our routes.php file. Laravel create {_missing} route before package routes, and it matches everything to not found.

This is more likely Laravel problem.

[days85]

Did you check your apache config and changed the Directory www to AllowOverride all?

[gritdigital-mibu]

I was having this problem due to a wildcard route.

Route::get('{page}', ['as' => 'page', 'uses' => '\Cms\Controllers\PageController@page'])->where(['page' => '(.*?)']);

It was capturing the requests for the JS/CSS causing the "PhpDebugBar is not defined" JS error.

When doing php artisan route:list my wildcard route (above) is the one at the very bottom. Does this mean Laravel is reading from the bottom up?

[GoranBlazevic]

Installed latest Laravel and DebugBar today, running on WAMP (Windows 8.1, Apache 2.4.9, MySQL 5.6.17, PHP 5.5.12).

DebugBar didn't show up in welcome view, css / js were not found. Firefox console threw out errors:

ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined
ReferenceError: PhpDebugBar is not defined

Tried clearing cache, adding custom route, etc. - nothing worked.

Solution was to add a RewriteBase /LaraTest/public/ to my .htaccess file (after RewriteEngine On).

After refresh, the bar showed up immediately when I entered http://localhost/LaraTest/public/ into my browser address bar (Firefox 40).

[borysov]

Same problem, guys helps!

[biwerr]

adding the routes to serviceprovider works for me. should be fixed.

[harrisoftware]

days85 hit the nail on the head. Using OSX server, you have to use the advanced button and check off .htaccess over-ride. Once you start adding routes and other stuff this becomes obvious, but with a fresh install, not so much.

[afarazit]

@days85 i was missing AllowOverride all from my vhost config, that solved it.

[days85]

I'm happy that this worked for some of you.

[Langlais115]

Same issue here with Laravel 5.2.14

[amidevelopment]

Hi everyone, same issue, i was missing AllowOverride all, once activated everything started to work properly

[ghost]

same here

[avatar-test]

1. Check your apache config:

<Directory ***>
AllowOverride All
Allow from all
</Directory>

1. Activate mod_rewrite:

a2enmod rewrite

[lchnnl]

Adding "Rewritebase /" after "RewriteEngine on" in "public/.htaccess" worked for me.

I am using xampp. I have enabled rewrite and vhost. DocumentRoot directive is pointing to 'H:/htdocs/xxx/public'.

[roshangautam]

If you are caching your routes and enable and disable debugbar, your route cache might loose debugbar's routes. Try
php artisan route:cache
it worked fine for me.

[mistajolly]

Late to the party on this but I installed the package for the first time and I think it would be helpful to add a note about the Route configuration to the github readme.md file.

[ojikobeshi]

If the dev environment of your laravel project is using the default configuration of Apache for web root directory , make sure the AllowOverride All is set for the web root directory.

<Directory "/var/www/html">
   ...
   AllowOverride All 
   ...
</Directory>

Restart web service and try reloading the page. The debug bar should be showing up properly.

[mail47002]

thanks ojikobeshi

[mayconds000]

Thanks @avatar-test
In my case the module rewrite was disabled, just enable and already solved the problem

[ksingh7]

solution

a2enmod rewrite

[bremg]

Thanks, this is still broken. This took me waaaay too long to find.

Deleting it from all my projects..

[barryvdh]

If mod rewrite is disabled, all the Laravel rewriting probably doesn't work. So not really sure why this is an issue with debugbar.

[MarcoCazzaro]

Just for the record, I had the same problem and realised I made a silly mistake: I injected DebugBar code in my views without checking the proper config options. Here's my updated code:

<?php $debugbar_enabled = config("debugbar.enabled") ?? true; ?>
@if(config("app.debug") == true && $debugbar_enabled)
    <?php
        $renderer = \Debugbar::getJavascriptRenderer();
    ?>
    {!! $renderer->renderHead() !!}
    {!! $renderer->render() !!}
@endif

Hope this helps!

I don't know if this is the best 'solution', but it works for me.

This worked for me while on Laravel version 5.2.45, Thank You!

[skalero01]

I cleaned the cache on my browser and it fixed it :P

When put its on web.php .not working debugbar
