Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached, aborting after upgrading to Laravel 5.1

Question

I'm getting this error message in my Laravel application after I upgraded to Laravel 5.1.

FatalErrorException in Dispatcher.php line 200:
Maximum function nesting level of '100' reached, aborting!

This issue occurs on some URLs of my app. I have done dozens of composer update but issue still persist. Any suggestion at all will be appreciated

Answer 1

Issue is caused by default xdebug.max_nesting_level which is 100.

The workaround for now is to increase xdebug.max_nesting_level to a certain level say 200 or 300 or 400

I fixed mine by increasing xdebug.max_nesting_level to 120, by adding the line below to bootstrap/autoload.php in Laravel 5.1

ini_set('xdebug.max_nesting_level', 120);

.........

define('LARAVEL_START', microtime(true));
