⚠️ Shift detected a custom namespace. Laravel now recommends keeping the default App namespace. While it was available to customize in previous versions using app:name, this command was removed in Laravel 6.

Shift recommends changing this to align with Laravel and improve its automation. After doing so, you are welcome to request a rerun of this Shift.

⚠️ Laravel 7 adds CORS middleware and defaults the middlewarePriority internally so you only need to overwrite this property for customizations.

Shift attempted to automate these changes. But you should compare your app/Http/Kernel.php with the default Laravel 7 version to finalize any changes.

ℹ️ Laravel 7 upgraded to Symfony 5 which passes instances of the Throwable interface instead of Exception instances to core components like the Exceptions\Handler.

Shift automated this change. However, if you receive a Throwable type mismatch error there may be additional references you need to convert.

ℹ️ Laravel 7 moved the Authentication components into a separate laravel/ui package, which includes the make commands as well as the traits related to authentication.

Shift added this dependency for convenience. However, if you do not plan to use the Authentication components, you may remove this dependency as well as the Auth controllers from your application.

ℹ️ Laravel 7 renamed usages of the Eloquent addVisible and addHidden methods to makeVisible and makeHidden respectively.

Shift automated this change. However, you should review these changes as well as check your application for any additional instances.

• app/Http/Controllers/PageController.php

⚠️ The MAIL_DRIVER environment variable was renamed in Laravel 7 to MAIL_MAILER in order to support multiple mail configurations.

Shift attempted to automate this change, but you should review any additional environment configuration and update to the new variable name.

ℹ️ Shift updated your dependencies for Laravel 7. While many of the popular packages are reviewed, you may have to update additional packages in order for your application to be compatible with Laravel 7.

Watch dealing with dependencies for tips on handling package incompatibilities.

ℹ️ Laravel 7 removed some of the PHPUnit configuration in favor of the defaults. While this is not a required changed, it is a good opportunity to compare your phpunit.xml with the default Laravel 7 version to modernize your configuration.

⚠️ In Laravel 7, all of the assertSee methods now automatically escape the expected values.

If you were manually escaping the values passed to these methods, you no longer need do so. If you were asserting values containing HTML that should not be escaped, you may set the new escaped argument to false.

Shift found the instances of these assertions within:

⚠️ Shift found potential uses of the different validation rule. In Laravel 7, this rule will fail if one of the specified parameters is missing from the request. As this was likely the expected behavior, it should not affect your validation. Nonetheless you should be aware of this change.

⚠️ Laravel 7 uses a new date format when serializing models. The previous format was 2019-12-02 20:01:00. Now, dates are serialized using an ISO-8601 compatible date format of 2019-12-02T20:01:00.283041Z in UTC.

This does not affect how dates are stored. Only how they are serialized when using the toArray or toJson Eloquent methods.

If you need to preserve the previous format, you may override the serializeDate method on your model. Review the Date Serialization section of the Upgrade Guide for more details.

ℹ️ All of the underlying Symfony components used by Laravel have been upgraded to Symfony 5. If you are directly interacting with any Symfony component, you should review the Symfony change log for additional changes.

⚠️ Laravel 7.x has reached end of life. It no longer receives bug fixes or security updates. Shift recommends continuing to upgrade to the latest stable version (Laravel 8.x).
