Install debugbar

1. Install package

composer require barryvdh/laravel-debugbar 

1. Add provider

Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider::class,

1. Publish config

php artisan vendor:publish --provider ' Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider'

1. Add boot method for AppServiceProvider

$connectionWrapper = \Propel\Runtime\Propel::getServiceContainer()->getConnection();
//$connectionWrapper->setLogMethods(['__construct', 'beginTransaction', 'commit', 'rollBack', 'forceRollBack', 'prepare', 'exec', 'query', '__destruct']);
$traceablePdo = new \DebugBar\DataCollector\PDO\TraceablePDO($connectionWrapper->getWrappedConnection());
$this->app['debugbar']->addCollector(new \DebugBar\DataCollector\PDO\PDOCollector($traceablePdo));

In my case, the boot method of AppServiceProvider (AppServiceProvider::boot) calls before init of propel services, that leads to this error: "No connection defined for database "default"... bla bla bla"

I created a new service provider, registered in config/app.php, and I put code from "Add boot method for AppServiceProvider" into this new provider's boot method. After this, problem disappeared.
