Laravel debugbar not displaying messages

Question

I have debugbar installed, and it is showing up. However, whenever I try to send a message to the console:

use Debugbar\Debugbar;
....
Debugbar::info('this is info');

I get this error:

Call to undefined method Debugbar\Debugbar::info()

I have the following in my app.php:

'providers' =>
Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider::class,
'aliases' => 
'Debugbar' => Barryvdh\Debugbar\Facade::class

A similar question was asked here but after following all the advice in the discussion, the problem still persists. If I try to call to call Debugbar like this:

app('debugbar')->error('Watch out..');

There is no error, but the message still does not appear

Answer 1

Change use Debugbar\Debugbar; to use Debugbar;
