Laravel Echo not subscribing to Pusher Presence Channel, not even in Pusher dashboard
I have spend many hours to solve this issue of mine, reading the doc multiple times, googling here and there: SO, Laracast, Larachat, etc, but still couldn't get Laravel Echo to subscribe to Pusher presence channel, and it doesn't show any error in console tab
Public and Private channel are working fine and smooth, users can subscribe, users can listen / trigger event(s)
Note: before creation of this post, I have search questions related to my current issue, none of them have answer
Some questions similar to mine:

- Laravel Echo + Laravel Passport auth in private / presence websockets channels
- https://laravel.io/forum/facing-issues-upon-subscribing-to-presence-channel
- etc..
Spec:
- Laravel:
7.30.1
- laravel-Echo:
1.10.0
(latest; atm) - pusher/pusher-php-server:
4.0
- pusher-js:
7.0.3
(latest; atm)
In resource/js/bootstrap.js
import Echo from 'laravel-echo'
window.Pusher = require('pusher-js');
window.Echo = new Echo({
broadcaster: 'pusher',
key: process.env.MIX_PUSHER_APP_KEY,
cluster: process.env.MIX_PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER,
forceTLS: true,
authEndpoint: '/api/broadcasting/auth',
auth: {
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${localStorage['token']}`
}
}
});
In routes/api.php
// https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55555844/authorizing-broadcasting-channel-in-an-spa
Route::post('/broadcasting/auth', function (Request $request) {
$pusher = new Pusher\Pusher(
env('PUSHER_APP_KEY'),
env('PUSHER_APP_SECRET'),
env('PUSHER_APP_ID'),
[
'cluster' => env('PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER')
]
);
// This will return JSON response: {auth:"__KEY__"}, see comment below
// https://pusher.com/docs/channels/server_api/authenticating-users
$response = $pusher->socket_auth($request->request->get('channel_name'), $request->request->get('socket_id'));
return $response;
})->middleware('auth:sanctum');
In routes/channels.php
// https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/broadcasting#authorizing-presence-channels
Broadcast::channel('whatever', function ($user) {
return [
'id' => $user->id,
'name' => $user->name
];
});
In home.vue
...
...
created() {
Echo.join('whatever') // DOES NOT WORK, Even in mounted() vue lifehook, and in Pusher dashboard, it doesn't show this channel name
.here((users) => {
console.table(users)
})
}
Q: Why Laravel Echo not subscribing to Pusher presence channel? and even in Pusher, it doesn't show channel name:
presence-whatever
, onlydisconnected
(after I refreshed the page) and thenconnected
like nothing happen
Thanks in advance
1. Make sure to set the broadcast driver to .env after that do php artisan config:clear
BROADCAST_DRIVER=pusher

3. Check your broadcasting.php
this is my dev config
4. Check CORS settings I installed fruitcake/laravel-cors
and this is my cors.php
config
Maybe for you supports_credentials
need to be true
5. Check your channels.php
