Debugbar exception: File does not exist at path

[lotestudio]

Something that gets me nervous...

Debugbar exception: File does not exist at path
/path/to/project/storage/debugbar/01JNR13JDT55NAXXDT4G2VHT3X.json.

Laravel version 10.48.28
Laravel Debugbar 13.5.1

The error starts to throw whenever open the project and start working.
When clearing the debugbar storage after the first request a new JSON file is generated but the file name is different from that in the error message. After manually renaming the file everything is working fine.
Thanks in advance!

Having the same problem.

php artisan debugbar:clear

did not fix the problem.

Having the same issue. The json file exists in storage/debugbar, but has a different name.
Exception thrown at:
.../vendor/php-debugbar/php-debugbar/src/DebugBar/DebugBar.php:383

It's been like this forever... Is it in a Livewire component ?

[buzkall]

Yes, it happens in Filament, for example

Changing debugbar storage type doesn't change a thing.

[wiljanslofstra]

I had the same error and came here. However, after clearing my session data, the error is resolved. I assume that the ID is stored somewhere and it does not recreate the file (or handle the missing file).

I can reproduce the issue by manually removing the .json files in the storage/debugbar directory.

Environment:

• PHP 8.3.17
• Laravel v12.12.0

[lotestudio]

Nor work for me... :(

[AmirHossein]

Same problem with Laravel 11.44.7, PHP 8.3, Laravel Debugbar 3.15.4.
Getting errors like: [2025-05-07 14:59:47] local.ERROR: Debugbar exception: File does not exist at path /.../storage/debugbar/01JTNFMH79KC92J9PX3ASZVT9Z.json.

[parallels999]

Maybe it has to do with these changes?:

• Use Laravel ULID for key #1738
• Always use random_bytes for request ID php-debugbar/php-debugbar#738

try reverting that to see if it works properly again

or perhaps a "race condition"?
on that case try changing src/DebugBar/JavascriptRenderer.php#L1335-L1343 to:

$js = sprintf("setTimeout(()=>%s.loadDataSet(\"%s\"%s),2000);\n",

and share your results

[AmirHossein]

@parallels999 didn't work for me. it tries to find the same json file for every page while i can see that a new json file is being created in storage/debugbar/ with different id on each page loading.

[parallels999]

It hasn't happened to me, the last idea I can think of is that you have some redirection, and there is a stacked Data ID on your session and the file for any reason was not written,

Try looking in your session to see if you have a key like this: PHPDEBUGBAR_STACK_DATA, If it has values, clean it and test it.

[rabol]

But… is it not best practice to check if a file exists before reading?
