Logging - single not logging

[trondhuso]

Logging channel single does not log to file. I believe the reason is because Laravel has the structure storage/logs which is not present in Zero

I could be wrong.

I've having this exact issue. I followed the directions in Logging.

I set logging.php to use single by default

'default'  => env(
		'LOG_CHANNEL',
		'single'
	),

and the single channel is unchanged

'single'     => array(
			'driver' => 'single',
			'path'   => storage_path( 'logs/laravel.log' ),
			'level'  => 'debug',
		),

I also manually created the storage/logs/laravel.log file and set it world-writable. I also verified that storage_path() is returning the correct path.

But when I run Log::info at the beginning of my command, nothing gets logged.

I'm not able to replicate this issue 🤔 I've tried on both Windows and macOS by just running php <app> app:install log and then updating the logging.default config to single as mentioned.

As a note, on my tests, it automatically created the storage/logs directory, and this didn't need to be created beforehand.

I figured out the issue on my end. I have both PHP 8.0 and PHP 7.4 installed with aliases setup for php8.0 and composer8.0 when I'm running PHP 8.0 things.

My laravel-zero app is setup using PHP 8.0 but, when I run php8.0 application app:install log, it uses the default composer binary (which is tied to PHP 7.4) and fails on the composer dependencies installing the log stuff.

The issue is that Zero doesn't seem to know that composer failed so it just outputs its sample logging code which then pushes the composer error off the screen (which is why I didn't notice it before).

For me, I changed the default value from stack to single and it started working locally.

'default' => env('LOG_CHANNEL', 'stack'),
to
'default' => env('LOG_CHANNEL', 'single'),

Thanks for mentioning this.
