Upgrade Guide 29
Compiled Classes
If present, remove the following lines from config/compile.php in the files array:
1 realpath(__DIR__.'/../app/Providers/BusServiceProvider.php'),
2 realpath(__DIR__.'/../app/Providers/ConfigServiceProvider.php'),
Not doing so can trigger an error when running php artisan optimize if the service providers
listed here do not exist.
CSRF Verification
CSRF verification is no longer automatically performed when running unit tests. This is unlikely to
affect your application.
Database
MySQL Dates
Starting with MySQL 5.7, 0000-00-00 00:00:00 is no longer considered a valid date, since strict
mode is enabled by default. All timestamp columns should receive a valid default value when you
insert records into your database. You may use the useCurrent method in your migrations to default
the timestamp columns to the current timestamps, or you may make the timestamps nullable to
allow null values:
1 $table->timestamp('foo')->nullable();
2
3 $table->timestamp('foo')->useCurrent();
4
5 $table->nullableTimestamps();
MySQL JSON Column Type
The json column type now creates actual JSON columns when used by the MySQL driver. If you
are not running MySQL 5.7 or above, this column type will not be available to you. Instead, use the
text column type in your migration.
