Spatie Laravel sitemap generated xml file is empty

I am developing a Laravel application. Now, I am trying to implement the sitemap for my website using this package, https://github.com/spatie/laravel-sitemap. But when I generate sitemap.xml, no paths are included in the file.

I installed the package running the Composer command

composer require spatie/laravel-sitemap

Then I published the Composer.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Sitemap\SitemapServiceProvider" --tag=config

In the routes/web.php, I added this.

Route::get('sitemap', function () {
    SitemapGenerator::create('http://app.localhost/')->writeToFile('sitemap.xml');
    return "Sitemap generated".
});

When I run the code and sitemap.xml is generated. When I opened the sitemap.xml, that is all I found in it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
</urlset>

I have many routes in the web.php. What is wrong and how can fix it?

Solution to anyone, don't panic

the problem is when u clear config or when u run php artisan optimize:clear

the url will be null or ''

so solution is : (config('app.url') ?? 'http://www.myspecialdomain.com')

this will check if url exist if not it will use provided url.

Have a good day

This is how I solved this problem:

I just made sure that the APP_URL was set properly in .env file.

I added, for example: https://example.com/ and boom it worked.

This should also work on your local pc as well.

When I did it first time it looked same for me.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
</urlset>

I think you did it on your local pc.

So first, you can test with this url.

SitemapGenerator::create("https://spatie.be/en")
            ->writeToFile(public_path('sitemap.xml'));

If it works well, then I believe it will work on server too. In my case it worked on server, while it was same result with you on my local.

You can manually add other urls like below and when you run it, the links will be added to your sitemap file:

use Spatie\Sitemap\SitemapGenerator;
use Spatie\Sitemap\Tags\Url;

 Route::get('sitemap', function () {
    SitemapGenerator::create('https://vesicash.com/')->getSitemap()
    ->add(Url::create('/link1')->setPriority(0.5))
    ->add(Url::create('/link2')->setPriority(0.5))
    ->add(Url::create('/link3')->setPriority(0.5))
    ->add(Url::create('/privacy')->setPriority(0.5))
    ->writeToFile('sitemap.xml');
    return "Sitemap Generated";
});
