Remove stack trace from Laravel error page

How would i remove the lengthy stack trace errors that Laravel uses by default? (i understand it is using "Ignition")

Some resources that i've found that did not help:

this thread only mentions how to disable error reporting altogether
when i write anything in a render() method in the app/Exceptions/Handler.php like mentioned here i only get error 500 without any output.
person in this thread even suggests writing your own Laravel bootstrap application instead of using the default one, breaking Laravel framework semantics, but that's just plain mad.

I have also tried looking at configuration values for Ignition by publishing ignition config file via

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Facade\Ignition\IgnitionServiceProvider" --tag="ignition-config"

But that file has nothing to configure, the only thing you can do is to hide the "share" message in the error.

I just want a simple classic php error page with file/line/error, no stack traces, or no html markup. The error page makes it really difficult to debug output in anything else than a web browser.

Solution

Simply override the render() method in your app's exception handler. Per comments in the base class, this method must return a response object.

public function render($request, \Throwable $e)
{
    return response()->view("exception", ["exception" => $e]);
}

Then make your blade view look however you want.

<!doctype html>
<title>Exception</title>
<body>
<p>
Exception of type <code>{{ get_class($exception) }}</code>
thrown in <code>{{ $exception->getFile() }}</code>
on line <code>{{ $exception->getLine() }}</code>.
</p>
</body>
