I took over a Laravel 5.5 project, and there is something going on that I have never encountered - the content on the error reporting screen is all replaced by stars.

enter image description here

I don't know what the previous devs did to accomplish this, but obviously I want to be able to see this info. The .env content seems fairly obvious:

APP_ENV=local APP_HOST=http://localhost APP_DEBUG=true APP_TESTMODE=false APP_CACHE_ENABLED=true

Other than that, there are API keys for Stripe, AWS etc, but nothing that would presume to block me from viewing the info on the error screen.

Why is this problem occurring and how can I fix it?

    APP_TESTMODE seems unusual, I would check where that leads. You may want to check as well your composer.json for any unusual package Commented May 19, 2020 at 7:23
  • Yeah, @ChristopheHubert, I think so too Commented May 19, 2020 at 7:25

    @ChristopheHubert I've tried changing or removing APP_TESTMODE, had no effect. Also found its usage in the code, it's definitely unrelated. Commented May 19, 2020 at 7:26

You probably have the debug_blacklist set, as seen in the documentation

Simply remove the debug_blacklist array from your config/app.php configuration file and the values will reveal.

Yep, this is it. They have: 'debug_blacklist' => [ '_SERVER' => array_keys($_SERVER), '_ENV' => array_keys($_ENV), ], so it's all hidden for that reason. Why someone would hide all this info is a different question :)
If you want other people to see your work on a live server with debug on - it is good to hide sensitive data - especially Stripe Key 😋
I suppose, but it seems kinda indiscriminate to just hide everything else in the process :)
Agreed, this seems like overkill, but I guess it made sense for the previous guys 👍
