Extended bug description

Your project is not the problem

• I tried using a fresh laravel install - I'm fairly certain it has nothing to do with my project.

How to reproduce?

<?php

echo 'Hello World';

when i run the above code, I can't see any output.

Expected behavior

i expect to see Hello World printed out.

What happens if you remove 'echo'? (So, just the string)

[codeclax]

I have the same issue.

When I only write 'Hello world'; I get the same result:

Same problem. In settings->tools->laravel tinker->project settings the paths are correct - project folder.
I also use laravel sail. php interpreter is from docker container, until I set it up there were errors in output when running the code. I also use wsl2
After a few minutes, when re-running the code an error appeared, by itself -

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\doczzz\dev\lar_10_api\src/composer.json does not exist. Please check your project settings. in Command line code:16
Stack trace:
#0 {main}
thrown in Command line code on line 16

I have the same issue on PhpStorm 2024.3.5 with the same plugin version. I also manually added older versions, but nothing changed.

Similar Problem on Windows

Windows 11 - with Herd installed - PHP 8.4

No Sail or Docker

Tinker Settings Blank in PHPStorm

Same BLANK output, Execution Finished when php code is invalid

I LOVE the plugn, was working great, previously I was using WSL - all projects were inside ubuntu, but there were some package related errors and I had to move the project to within Windows directly, should have changed OS to Ubuntu, but need Windows for office work.

Hopefully someone can guide me to resolve this issue

[Roboroads]

So there is some specific windows problem. I will be looking at this again.

[zaidpirwani]

changed php versions, but same problem

Plugin is working on another windows machine, with an older PHPStorm
PHPStorm version (working) - PHP8.3 and Laravel Tinker Plugin 2.7.3

I installed new PHPStorm and Laravel Herd on another machine and the plugin doesnt work there as well.
