Rollbar-PHP-Laravel not built and Logger object not created

[ajtran]

internal: https://app.intercom.io/a/apps/rlisg82q/inbox/inbox/849049/conversations/18362269083

User encountered this trouble while settings up:

"RollbarLogger::class is registered as a singleton...

$this->app->singleton(RollbarLogger::class, function ($app) {
...
this code is never run
...
});

so it never actually build the config and create the actual logger object

the RollbarServiceProvider registers the RollbarLogger by providing a closure

But this closure is never executed because the RollbarLogger class is never requested anywhere in the code

adding this in the controller

public function index(RollbarLogger $rollbarLogger)
{
$rollbarLogger->error('something');
return view('home');
}

forces the RollbarLogger clousure to be evaluated and thus works"

so i was wondering if this is something that is missing from the documentation or something with the SDK.

another option -

"instead of putting it in the controller, add a custom service provider with boot(\Rollbar\RollbarLogger $rollbarLogger) and nothing else in it"

From the internal conversation it seems like the user is using Laravel 5.5 but following the setup steps for 5.6. config/logging.php is not used on Laravel 5.5

Also the tmp log file is not being used anymore. I think it would be the best to get the user on call and go exactly through his setup. @ajtran do you think we can arrange that?

@ArturMoczulski Hm. Let me see if I can get in contact with the user. I think there are other users that have been facing similar issues to this tho. I'll send them this way if it does come up again.

I'm closing this since there's been no response from the reporter.
