Errors are not reported and displayed on production

Description

Errors are not reported and displayed on production

Steps to reproduce

Create a twill block which uses some undefined variable. This block will fail and error won't be displayed and reported in production.
https://github.com/area17/twill/blob/3.x/src/Services/Blocks/Block.php#L688

Expected result

I would expect to have this error logged and reported to my error tracker and this page should not load for my users so that I could fix it asap.

Actual result

App just crashes silently

Versions

Twill version: 3.2
Laravel version: 11.0
PHP version: 8.3

Solution A

https://github.com/area17/twill/blob/3.x/src/Services/Blocks/Block.php#L688
Change to:

        try {
            return view($view, $data)->render();
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            if (config('twill.strict')) {// can be named throw or something
                throw $e;
            }
            if (config('twill.debug')) {
                $error = $e->getMessage() . ' in ' . $e->getFile();

                return View::make('twill::errors.block', ['view' => $view, 'error' => $error])->render();
            }
            report($e);// add this
        }
       
        return '';

Solution B, my favorite:

This entire logic does not seem to be useful and can be added specifically by any application if needed. So I would suggest to just drop try catch block entirely. Just look how beautiful it is:

     return view($view, $data)->render();
