laravel-debugbar: PhpDebugBar is not defined - Laravel 5.1

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.

1. Check your apache config:

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

1. Activate mod_rewrite:

a2enmod rewrite

+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'
]);

solution

a2enmod rewrite

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.

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'
]);

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

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

Deleting it from all my projects…

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

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.
