Laravel-log-viewer: vendor:publish doesn't publish anything

Thanks for contributing! What version of Laravel do you use?

Ok, that's weird. I'm using v5.4.28 . Started developing with a slightly older version, but composer updated to newest version today. After that, I tried to publish the log view and it would not work.
It just occurred to me, that maybe I should try it again on a vanilla Laravel install, and it worked without a problem. Although I have no idea what I possibly could have done to mess with Laravel's publishing system.

Same thing occurred with me too on php artisan vendor:publish \ --provider="Rap2hpoutre\LaravelLogViewer\LaravelLogViewerServiceProvider" \ --tag=views it just says Publishing complete.
but view is not available in vendor folder.

[edited] - my bad missed out adding the package in app.php
Also when i hit the route /logs getting following exception
(1/1) InvalidArgumentException No hint path defined for [laravel-log-viewer].

@akoepcke & @irkfdb I can't reproduce the problem (I just tried on my 5.4.28 and everything is OK). Could you just try something and tell me if it works: run composer install (or composer update if you prefer) then re-run php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rap2hpoutre\LaravelLogViewer\LaravelLogViewerServiceProvider" --tag=views. Does it work? Thanks a lot for your help!!

No, still doesn't work, not with composer install and not with composer update.

I cloned my project and created a new repository on GitHub( which you can find here ), downloaded and freshly installed it again, and tried to publish again, still no luck. It just says Publishing complete., doesn't publish any files but doesn't give me an error either.

The project is still pretty basic, and doesn't contain too much extra packages, so I have no idea where things could have started to go wrong. My best bet would be it having something to do with the order of packages in composer.json or config/app->providers, but to the best of my knowledge, that shouldn't make too much of a difference either.

Ok sorry for the late answer. I tried with your repository and it still works for me. This is what I have done:

git clone https://github.com/akoepcke/test.git debug-github-llv
cd debug-github-llv
composer install
cp .env.example .env
vi .env
php artisan key:generate
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rap2hpoutre\LaravelLogViewer\LaravelLogViewerServiceProvider" --tag=views
ll resources/views/vendor/laravel-log-viewer/

It displays:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 raphael staff 5,3K 22 aoû 12:04 log.blade.php

So the file is created. Could you tell me what you tried (or if I am doing something wrong)?

Ok, I'm sorry for that one. I checked again and noticed that I submitted my test repo with the log.blade.php already in it 🤦🏼‍♀️

So what I tried again just now, is the following:

laravel new debug-log
cd debug-log

Edit the composer.json to require the following:

"require": {
        ...
        "caouecs/laravel-lang": "~3.0",
        "laracademy/interactive-make": "^1.1",
        "laravelcollective/html": "^5.4",
        "percymamedy/laravel-dev-booter": "^0.1.2",
        "rap2hpoutre/laravel-log-viewer": "^0.8.1",
        "spatie/laravel-permission": "^2.1"
    },
    "require-dev": {
       ...
        "barryvdh/laravel-debugbar": "^2.3",
        "deployer/deployer": "^5.1",
        "deployer/recipes": "^4.0"
    },

Add ServiceProvider to config/app.php

Rap2hpoutre\LaravelLogViewer\LaravelLogViewerServiceProvider::class,

Run

composer update

And finally, try again:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Rap2hpoutre\LaravelLogViewer\LaravelLogViewerServiceProvider" --tag=views

Again, as a result I get Publishing complete, but it doesn't give me the file and doesn't tell me the file name of the (non-)published log.blade.php

edit: I also ran php artisan vendor:publish without any of the flags, just in case I misspelled something, which gives me vendor\mail, vendor\notifications and vendor\pagination, but no log-viewer.

Got it!

You are using an outated version of Laravel Log Viewer (v0.8). Update to v0.10+ and it will work! Thank you for your detailled steps to reproduce, I understood now. I just tested by modifying composer.json of your project then run again the publish process and it works.

Perfect! No idea, how I ended up with the wrong version, as I didn't set the project up too long ago, but it's working now.

Thank you for your time!
