laravel issue on config:cache about mpesa-php-sdk HOT 3 OPEN

@jaymoh , this isn't a bug, it is actually the expected behavior.

When you run config:cache on a laravel app it caches the app configuration to improve performance.
Once the configuration has been cached, the .env file will not be loaded and calls to the env() helper will only return system-level environment variables.

A configuration management best practice is to use the env() helper only inside config files. That way your environment variables will be cached as you expect. i.e

add an mpesa.php config file and in it read the values with the env() helper

Then update your code to reference the config values with the config() helper

from mpesa-php-sdk.

@vino-jasuba yes, actually the problem is that this Mpesa package reads from .env file

from mpesa-php-sdk.

check out #25. I doubt it'll ever be merged in but looks like it addresses your problem.

Maybe fork the repo and reference it as a private package?
