Print debugging with Symfony Var Dumper.
Debugging CLI applications is very difficult, especially when you are dealing with complex data structures. So to minimize this problem, you can also do print debugging where the results of something you print appear in the browser.
composer dumper:start
composer dumper:serve
src
folder (except Application.php
, Commands/GenerateHelperCommand.php
& Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
files), you can write dump($something)
