Laravel dd($var) function output issues in new Chrome?
1 min readJan 2, 2018
Recently Laravel dd() function seems to have stopped working properly in latest Chrome. The dump does not render output properly. It looks like below:
I found a workaround here. Seems Chrome renders errors as HTML. To use this workaround in Laravel, just create a helper function and include in composer.json
> helpers.php (your_project/helpers.php)
> composer.json
Then run the command:
composer dump-autoload
That’s it! Now use _dd($data) function instead of dd($data).
Happy debugging!
Any questions or suggestions? please comment!
