[Bug]: Methods dumpVisualExplain and ddVisualExplain not working

[Fayne]

What happened?

I'm trying dumpVisualExplain() and ddVisualExplain() methods in my local environment. But neither of them is working in PHP 8.3 and Laravel 11.21.0 version.

And when i used ddVisualExplain() method in my web.php file, it shown an error Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response::setContent(): Argument #1 ($content) must be of type ?string, Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder given, called in /var/www/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Http/Response.php on line 73

How to reproduce the bug

Route::get('/dump', function () {
    User::where('name', 'like', '%Taylor%')->dumpVisualExplain()->get();

    return 'Hello World!';
});


Route::get('/dd', function () {
    User::where('name', 'like', '%Taylor%')->ddVisualExplain();

    return 'Hello World!';
});

Package Version

1.3.1

PHP Version

Laravel Version

Which operating systems does with happen with?

There is no dump visibile in your dump example. Thats weird!

And the error message for the dd example seems to not match the code. Can you share the full strack trace?

A syntax error is something completely else. Your application has invalid PHP in the routes/web.php.

Hi @tpetry

As you can see, there is not too much codes in my web.php file. I don't think there is any syntax error in web.php file.

The last stack trace clearly indicates a problem with your code. And the initial issue doesn't match the code too. This is not a problem of this package.
