title: laravel master layout override debugging page
body: <p>I am used to when the error occurs in my application, the orange screen with debugging information shows. I created a basic master layout template to use for my site, and suddenly the orange error page doesn't show any more. This is really weird. Any suggestions as to how to solve this?</p>
  
  <p>This is a picture of how it looks now..<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/RdgQR.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
