Livewire is quickly gaining traction in the Laravel ecosystem. It allows you to write dynamic web applications without ever even having to touch JavaScript! That's why we've decided to bring first-party support for Livewire components to Flare and Ignition.
Starting from Ignition v2.17 and above, if something goes wrong within your Livewire component's lifecycle, the accompanying error page includes a new tab that looks like this:

This new tab will show up on your local Ignition error page as well as in Flare's reports. It show which component was being rendered when the error occurred, what updates were triggered right before (property updated, method called or event send) and the data used to render the component.
We've also added a couple new solutions to Ignition specifically for Livewire. For example, a typo in a property name will trigger a solution that tries to suggest the corrent name:

The solution is displayed when a method with a typo is wrongfully called in a Livewire component:

Whether an exception is thrown in a Livewire component, Inertia response or a regular Blade view. Flare and Ignition will try to make it as smooth as possible to show you what happened!

Why we removed AI solutions from Flare
AI generated solutions are dead, long live AI generated solutions! We removed the old one-shot fixes from a model that could only see the stack trace. It simply couldn't compete with modern agentic AI. In their place, Flare works with the agentic AI tools you already use: an MCP server that handles real triage, a CLI with an agent skill, quick Copy for AI prompts in the UI and docs served as markdown. Hosted agents are in the works too.
