You should run the Magento software in “developer” mode when you’re extending or customizing it. Uncaught exceptions display in the browser and exception is thrown in the error handler, rather than being logged. To switch to developer mode you need to perform following actions:
- delete the contents of the var/generation and var/di directories:
rm -rf <your Magento install dir>/var/di/* <your Magento install dir>/var/generation/*
- Set the mode:
magento deploy:mode:set developer
