[ 07 Key Takeaways ](#key-takeaways) What Is `php artisan dev`? -------------------------- Laravel 13.16 shipped a first-party `artisan dev` command that consolidates everything you need during local development into a single terminal session. Before this, the application skeleton wired things together with a `dev` script in `composer.json` that piped four commands through `npx concurrently`. That script still exists, but it now does nothing except delegate to the new command: ```bash php artisan dev ``` Under the hood the command still shells out to `concurrently`, and since Laravel 13.18 it passes `--kill-others-on-fail`, so one crashing process brings down the rest instead of leaving you with a half-running stack. Default Processes ----------------- Out of the box, `artisan dev` starts four processes: | Name | Command | |---|---| | server | `php artisan serve --host=localhost` | | queue | `php artisan queue:listen --tries=1 --timeout=0` | | logs | `php artisan pail --timeout=0` | | vite | `npm run dev` | The `logs` process relies on `pcntl_fork`, so it is skipped on Windows. The `vite` process automatically detects your lockfile and uses the correct package manager—`pnpm run dev` in a pnpm project, `yarn run dev` in a Yarn project, and so on—without any configuration. Registering Custom Processes ---------------------------- The real power comes from the `DevCommands` class, which lets you replace or extend the defaults from your `AppServiceProvider`: ```php namespace App\Providers; use Illuminate\Foundation\DevCommands; use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider; class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider { public function boot(): void { if (! $this->app->environment('local')) { return; } // Replace the default queue worker with Horizon DevCommands::artisan('horizon', 'queue'); // Start Laravel Reverb in debug mode DevCommands::artisan('reverb:start --debug', 'reverb')->purple(); // Forward Stripe webhooks via the Stripe CLI DevCommands::register( 'stripe listen --forward-to '.config('app.url').'/stripe/webhook', 'stripe' )->orange(); // TypeScript type-checking in watch mode DevCommands::nodeExec('tsc --noEmit --watch --preserveWatchOutput', 'types')->yellow(); } } ``` ### Registration Methods - **`artisan()`** — prefixes the command with `php artisan`. - **`node()`** — prefixes with the detected package manager's run command. - **`nodeExec()`** — uses the exec variant (`npx`, `pnpx`, etc.). - **`register()`** — accepts a raw shell command for anything else. ### Replacing a Default Process names are identities. Registering a process with the name `queue` replaces the default `queue:listen` worker. The same pattern overrides any built-in: ```php DevCommands::artisan('serve --host=localhost --port=9000', 'server'); ``` Application-registered processes always outrank framework defaults, which in turn outrank anything registered from `vendor`. Inspecting and Filtering the Process List ----------------------------------------- Added in Laravel 13.17, `php artisan dev:list` prints every registered process, its command, and the file and line it was registered from—without starting anything. You can also limit which processes run at start-up: ```php // Only start the server and Vite DevCommands::only('server', 'vite'); // Start everything except the queue worker DevCommands::except('queue'); ``` These are runtime filters, not deletions, so the excluded process still appears in `dev:list` and can be restored by removing one line. Key Takeaways ------------- - `php artisan dev` is available from Laravel 13.16 and replaces the Composer `dev` script. - Four processes run by default: dev server, queue worker, Pail log tail, and Vite. - Vite auto-detects npm, pnpm, Yarn, or Bun from your lockfile. - Custom processes are registered via `DevCommands` in `AppServiceProvider`. - Reusing a process name (e.g. `queue`) replaces the framework default. - `php artisan dev:list` (13.17+) shows every registered process and its source location. - `--kill-others-on-fail` (13.18+) ensures a single crash stops the entire stack cleanly. --- *Source: [Laravel artisan dev: Run Server, Queue, Logs, and Vite — Laravel News](https://laravel-news.com/artisan-dev-command)* Found this useful?

Register a process named `queue` in your `AppServiceProvider` using `DevCommands::artisan('horizon', 'queue')`. Because process names act as identities, this replaces the built-in `queue:listen` process with Horizon. Q02 Does `php artisan dev` work on Windows? Mostly yes. The `logs` process (Laravel Pail) requires `pcntl_fork`, which is unavailable on Windows, so it is skipped automatically. The server, queue, and Vite processes still run. Q03 How can I see all registered dev processes without starting them? Run `php artisan dev:list`, introduced in Laravel 13.17. It prints each process name, its command, and the file and line number where it was registered.
