Activating developer mode

[Bengideon]

I have activated developer mode.

bin/magento deploy:mode:show = Current application mode: developer

env.php =

 'MAGE_MODE' => 'developer',

But in admin i can still not disable cache or see the stores-configuration-developer menu?

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Bengideon ,

Can you please run below commands after application mode switch.

bin/magento setup:upgrade

bin/magento setup:di:compile

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

If still you are not ale to see the developer menu in stores configuration. Try to reset all settings regarding merging/minification.

Thanks!

If my answer is useful, please Accept as Solution & give Kudos

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy does not work in developer mode.

I used bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

It is no solution.

Resetting merging/minification? It is in Developer menu. I have had never access to developer menu.

Hi @Bengideon 

Have you flushed the cache?

php bin/magento cache:flush

Or manually remove
var/cache/* directory from magento root.

For now you can reset minify js using below mysql command.

UPDATE `core_config_data` SET `value` = '0' WHERE `core_config_data`.`path` = 'dev/js/minify_files';

Might be it will help you!

I do not have the dev/js/minifi_files path.  I do have the dev/js/merge_files path. Disabling this option does not help getting the developer menu.

The cache is really really empty. Even disabling all caching options does not make the developer menu appear.
