Run php artisan serve and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to see if it is OK;

Visit http://127.0.0.1/non-exist-route to see if you get an 404 error instead of Whoops, looks like something went wrong....
Make sure your ngnix configuration file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/your-site.conf has

location / {
                # First attempt to serve request as file, then
                # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
        }

instead of

location / {
                # First attempt to serve request as file, then
                # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }

I worked the whole night and found my problem, it's because urls are not rewritten to index.php.

@masterwto Im confused as to what php artisan serve would do? My application works fine locally (valet) and in production using a dedicated server. My applications functionality is not the issue here. Its that debugbar just doesn't show. Tried locally and on my production site.

Also my NGINX for the record is:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}

+1 not showing in Laravel 5.7 here. APP_DEBUG is true, enabled is true. I even checked on tinker config('debugbar') and enabled is true there. The Service Provider is loaded as I see the debugbar console command on artisan. Just don't understand what the issue is here?

[HDVinnie]

Is this project dead or something? 20 days and no reply from devs and it seems many people having same issue as me...

[bstorck]

Was having the same issue... Worked great after I cleared the rout cache...

php artisan route:cache

Hope it helps 👍

Tried all of the above, didn't budge, but creating the /storage/debugbar folder (and setting the owner to www-data in my case) caused the bar to show up.

This worked for me.

I have the same issue as in not showing,
My setup is backend and frontend, might have to do with some namespacing
However when I set in my frontend/config/app.php

Manually to the top somewhere like this, then it does show up
Illuminate\Broadcasting\BroadcastServiceProvider::class, Illuminate\Auth\AuthServiceProvider::class, Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider::class,
Anyone ideas why it is not showing up with the autoloaders?

Despite all my attempts, it's not working either on my website. It was working nicely before I changed my route to be managed a bit differently (I do have a multi-lingual site with language translated URI). Now it's not working... I doesn't appear, even trying everything you said before.

Could it be I enforce https through the .htaccess?

Its possibly a problem with Content Security Policy, check if there are errors in your web developer console (F12), you can also try to set 'custom-csp' => '', in your config/secure-headers.php

Thanks , this helps me!
In my lnmp server , the older nginx rewrite rule is this :
location / { if (!-e $request_filename){ rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php/$1 last; } }
, now :
location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; }
everything is ok . Thanks .

In my case it has been solved by removing all closures from web and api routes. After that i cached my routes an the debugbar popped up. It worked before - but at some point (cannot remember or reconstruct) it disappeared.

I noticed that the thread starter stated

Route cache cleared!
Routes cached successfully!

but i wanted to comment anyway to help someone else, who maybe wasting his weekend too :D

If phpdebugbur classes exists in dom elements then look your css or js (something hide the debugbar)

This totally worked for me after searching for a while. Thanks

I spent a lot of time to resolve this problem, maybe this will help somebody.
If You checked all instructions at github repo and debugbar still not working..
THE PROBLEM IS IN NGINX/APACHE CONFIGURATION!
In my case nginx conf сontained section:

location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_pass php-fpm:9000; try_files $uri $uri/ index.php /index.php?$args $fastcgi_script_name =404; fastcgi_index index.php; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf; }
You need to take out try files directive to section

location / { try_files $uri $uri/ index.php /index.php?$args $fastcgi_script_name =404; }
This works for me.

Why does debugbar needs a route:cache to work? i faced the same issue with laravel 5.8. Can anyone justify it?

[jicksonjohnson]

I found the debugbar stopped working when I ran following.

composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev

In this case, the Debugbar wont show even the APP_ENV is local or anything other than production. I believe only marking APP_ENV as local is enough to activate debugbar.

What I did here, by executing following.

composer installand php artisan route:cache

[ThangNguyen153]

Im using docker with Laravel v8.36.2 PHP v7.4.16 ( Other system infos are same with the author ). Debugbar does not show in my case. I tried:

1. composer require barryvdh/laravel-debugbar --dev
2. config/app.php:
   
   
   
   • Add Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider::class to providers option
   
   
   • Add 'Debugbar' => Barryvdh\Debugbar\Facade::class to aliases option
   
   
3. Check env:
   
   
   
   • APP_DEBUG=true
   
   
   • APP_ENV=local
   
   
   • Add: DEBUGBAR_ENABLED=true
   
   
4. Run: php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider"
5. Run: php artisan route:cache
6. Run: php artisan config:cache
7. Run: php artisan debugbar:clear
8. Check folder permission ( storage ): owned by www-data user and permission 777
9. My Nginx config: `location / {
   try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
   }

location ~ \.php$ {
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
    fastcgi_pass app:9000;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
    sendfile off;
}`

I also tried to change the config as @LisichkinVlad and @masterwto but nothing changed. It seems that I tried all ways I found in google. Can anyone help me?

Have you been able to solve your problem? I am in a similar predicament. Using my laravel backend and Vuejs frontend in separate pods, the debugbar is not showing.

I have tried al of the above.
