❌ Shift could not upgrade the following files since they differed from the default Laravel version. You will need to compare these files against the default Laravel 6 versions and merge any changes:

• app/Http/Kernel.php
• bootstrap/app.php

⚠️ Laravel 6.x consolidated references to /home as a constant within the RouteServiceProvider. This makes it easier to maintain and change in a single place.

Shift automated this change, but could not upgrade the following files since they differed from the default Laravel version. You should compare these files against the default Laravel 6 versions and merge this change:

• app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php
• app/Http/Middleware/RedirectIfAuthenticated.php

ℹ️ Laravel 6 changed the default Redis client from predis to phpredis. You may keep using predis by setting REDIS_CLIENT=predis for your environment.

ℹ️ Shift updated your dependencies for Laravel 6. 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 6. Watch dealing with dependencies for tips on handling any Composer issues.

The following dependencies were updated by a major version and may have their own changes. You may check their changelog for any additional upgrade steps.

• barryvdh/laravel-debugbar
• laravel/browser-kit-testing
• laravelcollective/html
• laravelcollective/remote
• phpspec/phpspec
• rap2hpoutre/laravel-log-viewer

ℹ️ The Eloquent model's toArray() method will now cast any attributes that implement Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Arrayable to an array. While unlikely to impact your application, this change could effect code which relies upon the previous data type or output.

ℹ️ Laravel 6 now requires Carbon 2. While Shift reviewed your application for common breaking changes, you may want to review the Carbon 2 migration notes for additional changes.

⚠️ PHPUnit 8 deprecated using assertContains and assertNotContains for strings. These assertions now only handle arrays or Traversable objects.

Shift attempted to convert these assertions where reliable, but detected additional uses you should review and, if the arguments are strings, convert them to the new string assertion methods.

• tests/SendLeadsTest/Features/SendLeadsFeaturesTest.php

⚠️ The elixir helper was deprecated in Laravel 6.0 and removed in Laravel 8.0. You are are encouraged to upgrade to Laravel Mix or another build tool.

Shift found potential uses of the elixir helper in the following files:

• ./gulpfile.js

[dawitengageiq]

ℹ️ Laravel 6 made performance optimizations for integer key types. If you are using a string as your model's primary key, you may set the $keyType property on your model.

/**
 * The "type" of the primary key ID.
 *
 * @var string
 */
protected $keyType = 'string';

ℹ️ The mandrill and sparkpost mail drivers, as well as the rackspace storage driver were removed in Laravel 6. If you were using these drivers, you may adopt a community maintained package which provides the driver.

[dawitengageiq]

ℹ️ Previous versions of Laravel would retry jobs indefinitely. Beginning with Laravel 6, the php artisan queue:work now tries a job one time by default. If you want to force jobs to be tried indefinitely, you may pass the --tries=0 option.

⚠️ Laravel 6.x has reached end of life. It no longer receives bug fixes or security updates. Shift recommends continuing to upgrade to the latest version (Laravel 10.x).
