Errors are not being sent to rollbar Laravel 5.1

Question

When I throw new Exception('test exception'); from a class the bug is passed to my rollbar dashboard. But when I cause a Laravel error, something like:

"syntax error, unexpected '$user' (T_VARIABLE)"

it doesn't get passed.

I have it working perfectly on another project and it sends all bugs but that is in Laravel 5.0. I then tried Laravel Rollbar by jenssegers, thinking it would be more suited for Laravel 5.1 but that behaves the exact same way, only passing exceptions that I explicitly throw.

Answer 1

Try removing any third party packages that would interfere with the Handler class in the exceptions directory. The likes of filp/whoops could be catching the exception first.
