Custom error page not showing on Laravel 5

Question

I am trying to display a custom error page instead of the default Laravel 5 message :

\"Whoops...looks like something went wrong\"

Answer 1

Instead of the response create a route for your error page in your Routes.php, with the name 'errors.defaultError'. for example

route::get('error', [
    'as' => 'errors.defaultError',
    'uses' => 'ErrorController@defaultError' ]);

Either make a controller or include the function in the route with

return view('errors.defaultError');

and use a redirect instead. For example

public function render($request, Exception $e)
{
    return redirect()->route('errors.defaultError');
}
