Environment

MacOS

Laravel6

Solution

There may be a possibility that the errors are not passed through the errors middleware.

App/Http/Kernel.php

Here, specify the middleware to use,

\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,

If this class is not included, errors will not be displayed.

It can be seen that this class is attached to the default "web" middleware group.

App/Http/Kernel.php

        'web' => [
            \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
            \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
            \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
            // \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
            \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
            \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
            \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
        ]

If this class is not attached for some reason (e.g., creating a custom middleware group), errors will not be displayed.
