Laravel Scout environment variables (driver, prefix) not being applied about scout

[diquinnyonk]

Setting SCOUT_DRIVER='"null"' solved for me. Thanks

Closing this since it hasn't attracted much attention from other users.

@telkins, that's actually quite interesting. I think it should be considered a bug too. Let's see if this gets more attention from others.

This is happening with the 1.1.10 release as well. I have to manually set the application ID and secret in my model, where previously I was just using env() to grab the values. This results in the following error:

AlgoliaSearch requires an applicationID

I've noticed the same problem with the prefix. Is this ticket getting any traction/attention...?

It's particularly important to keep local, testing, staging, whatever from trashing a production index.

Btw, I just took a look in the source code and I think that some might not consider this a bug/issue. If you look in Laravel\Scout\Searchable, you'll see the following:

    /**
     * Get the index name for the model.
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function searchableAs()
    {
        return config('scout.prefix').$this->getTable();
    }

So, it looks like if one wants to override searchableAs(), then one must also account for the prefix. I would consider this a bug or at least something that should be addressed, but others might not.

Whatever the case, with the code the way it is, any override of searchableAs() results in the prefix not being taken into account -- at all -- unless done so manually. So, your workaround is, more or less, the current way to override searchableAs() and keep the prefix intact.

@telkins, not as much as I'd have hoped for unfortunately.

@prasadrajandran Thx for the quick response. I just edited my post...just in case you didn't see it. :-)

@diquinnyonk

• Thank you very much, it works, all the errors are disappear.
• Could you tell me what's the difference between '"null"' and "null"?
• <env name="SCOUT_DRIVER" value="null"/> doesn't work, replace "null" with '"null"', then it works.
