tool bar not showing

installed codeigniter 4.6 on windows computer... using php spark ...
env file

CI_ENVIRONMENT = development
app_baseURL = 'http://localhost:8080/'

config/App.php

public string $baseURL = 'http://localhost:8080/';

the actual directory is 'http://localhost:8080/ci4/' - but for some reason this works http://localhost:8080/ takes me to my index.php -> http://localhost:8080/ci4/index.php
created the files the routes ... everything seems to work
the filters has the toolbar $globals after and $required after
i just cannot see the debug bar...
what am i doing wrong ?

Did you rename the env file to .env ?

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

if you rename env to .env nothing else works.

if you rename env to .env nothing else works.

However, if you do not rename it, the file does nothing. It must be named .env to be recognized, otherwise it's just another ignored text file.

If renaming it so that it is recognized causes problems, the problem is elsewhere in your installation, but I don't know CI4 enough to suggest where.

Hit F-12 for the Developers Tools in your web browser under console and network and see if you have any Errors!

Refresh your web browser it may be caching files.
