Solve "ReflectionException: Class env does not exist"

#laravel #telescope #tdd

Spanish version of this post

The problem:

Run your tests with:

old way:

vendor/bin/phpunit

new way:

php artisan test

Or using the PHPStorm UI.

Then in console throws this error:

ReflectionException: Class env does not exist

Below it says that something in test environment fails with Telescope, I didnt change any code base or environment so... this problem is always related with cache:

Solution

Step 1

Disable telescope for tests on your PHPUnit.xml add:

<env name="TELESCOPE_ENABLED" value="false"/>

Step 2

Then go to the terminal and execute:

php artisan clear
php artisan config:clear

Note

I get the solution from two sites:

This github issue
And from the David Carr blog

I only facilitate the information in this platform because I had a few hours searching for a solution and with a descriptive title it would be easy to search for anyone in the future.

Thanks for reading!
