How to display assert errors in Laravel?

Question

I'd like my Laravel app to output assert errors in the browser during development. Although I have put some asserts in my Laravel code that should definitely fail, I never see any errors outputted in the browser?

Is there a assert reporting configuration in Laravel that can force these errors to display?

In production, I would like the assert failures to call a callback method and email me the error.

this assert()? are you sure that php.ini already configured? — Bagus Tesa

I wrote up an answer but then came across what is probably a duplicate? In short: check zend.assertions. — Don't Panic

zend.assertions are likely in production mode. In other words, assertions are disabled and ignored.

When set to -1, assertion code will not be generated, making the assertions zero-cost. ¹

You can view this configuration setting from the command line:

$ php -i | grep 'zend.assertions' # zend.assertions => -1 => -1

If you are using homestead, see this post to change the configuration.
