Error occurs when trying to link from Homestead.


Solution is to run the storage:link command from the host os. 

If you get The system cannot find the path specified. and it's showing you an Ubuntu path, you need to clear the config from inside homestead:

php artisan config:clear

Laravel Reverb + Echo naming convention.

   Echo listen() function relies on a very exact and weird naming convention, something to do with Namespaces: If the php Event name is "ChatMessageSent" then Echo knows how to listen to that event as:     Echo.private('chats').listen('ChatMessageSent', (e) => {         console.log('New chat message', e);     }); But if we have a broadcastAs() method in the event class:     public function broadcastAs(): string     {         return 'chat.message.sent';     } Then Echo doesn't know how to listen to chat.message.sent event. Instead, you have to put a dot before the event name: .chat.message.sent Echo.private('chats').listen('.chat.message.sent', (e) => {       console.log('New chat message', e); });
