Laradumps and WSL2 about laradumps

[dansysanalyst]

Hi @K2ouMais,
I was sure I replied to this issue, now I can't see my reply (I hope I didn't reply accidentally somewhere else).

Do you have the host key configured as DS_APP_HOST=host.docker.internal in your .env?

I am on a Mac, so I can't run WSL, but maybe this 📽️ YouTube video by @icarojobs (in Portuguese) can be helpful. It was recorded for another version but it still applies.

💡 There are also some settings for VSCode in WSL2 that can be useful.

Thanks for submitting an issue!

Hi @K2ouMais , did you try to put the ipv4?

DS_APP_HOST=0.0.0.0

or

DS_APP_HOST=192.168.0....

Dan and I will tomorrow try to get a way around this.

I think personaly wsl2 has a great potential and needs some attention because not everyone likes to use Docker or Laravel Sail that also uses docker.

I will also try your suggestion 👍🏻

That setting is for getting it working with docker. I got it to work with docker without a problem. 👍🏻

What I wanted was to get it to run with WSL2 on windows. For this I would love to make it work with a simple php artisan serve.

I know this is not a simple task if I take a look at Spatie Ray. They have a way to run it, but it is complicated.

This is not a issue. Let me explain.

First you have to get the IP of your WSL2 instance:

And after that you just have to insert that IP into your .env file after a php artisan ds:init.

In my case my .env file vars for Laradumps looks like this:

After everything is set you could make a test route for dumping something into the app.

Watch out, that you have to change the IP of your .env after every reboot, because the IP will change after that.

I am going to see, if I can find a way around this and make a PR just for completion.

Sorry for the trouble and thank you for Laradumps.

EDIT:
A good way to always get the IP could be if we could read the /etc/resolv.conf
