Language files not loaded

  • If Laravel does not seem to use translation files from the ./lang directory, check if you have a ./resources/lang directory, and delete it.

Eloquent query logging

\Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB::connection()->enableQueryLog();
// Run some queries...
$queries = \Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB::getQueryLog();

Changes to “Job” classes do not take effect

  • Make sure to restart the queue worker (e.g. Horizon) after each code change.

Laravel Tinker does not alias model automatically

  • Run composer dump-autoload to regenerate the list of all known classes

Updating created_at manually

  • The $model->unguard() method allows to temporarily remove protection from mass assignment on a model instance. Apparently this also allows updating the created_at property.

“A facade root has not been set.” in beforeAll of Pest test

  • Laravel methods only work in beforeEach, not in beforeAll.
