Array declared in config file does not reflect changes after config:clear in Laravel

Question

I have a constants file located in \\config\\constants.php and it's an array of all the constants I am using in my project.

Sample declaration of the array in the file:

return [
'contant_1' => [
    'value_1' => 'a',
    'value_2' => 'b',
    'value_3' => 'c'
],
'constant_2' => [
    'value_1' => 'd',
    'value_2' => 'e',
    'value_3' => 'f'
],
'constant_3' => [
    'value_1' => 'g',
    'value_2' => 'h',
    'value_3' => 'i'
], (...and so on)
];

note, this isn't the real value of the constants

So 'value_3' originally wasn't part of the array, and I included them and updated the array later on. I used php artisan config:clear after the updated.

Now, I can access basically all the values of the constants, including the new 'value_3' index, except for one constant. So for example I can get the value of 'constant_1' => 'value_3' as well as 'constant_2' => 'value_3' but for some reason, constant_3 does not have a 'value_3' even though I included it.

When I try to print it on the console, it's blank. But for the rest of the constants in the array, they all have that 'value_3' . I tried the php artisan config:clear and php artisan config:cache I also tried restarting my local server and still that 'constant_3' doesn't have that 'value_3' . I can even get the first 2 values of 'constant_3' and it's weird that the 3rd one is just blank.

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. I can't seem to find a similar problem anywhere. Thanks.

Answer 1

Try php artisan cache:clear see if this works.

Edit: If its still not working try all clear commands and restart server.

    php artisan cache:clear
    php artisan view:clear
    php artisan route:clear
    php artisan config:clear

and restart server.

Answer 2

Try

php artisan config:cache

For clearing config cache.

Answer 3

What do you mean by "included them and updated the array later on" ? Don't include files manually in lavarel. If you need to update config values in runtime, use Config::set instead.

Answer 4

请尝试php artisan cache:clear
