Remove the NunoMaduro\Collision\Adapters\Phpunit\Listener class from your listeners block in your phpunit.xml.dist file.

Replace your zendframework/zend-text dependency with "laminas/laminas-text": "^2.7" in your composer.json.

Configuration changes

The app.production configuration value has been removed and replaced by an app.env value in order to match Laravel.

If you are using Laravel's String & Array Helper

All str_ and array_ helpers have been moved to the new laravel/helpers Composer package and removed from the framework. If desired, you may update all calls to these helpers to use the Illuminate\Support\Str and Illuminate\Support\Arr classes. Alternatively, you can add the new laravel/helpers package to your application to continue using these helpers:

composer require laravel/helpers

Update your vlucas/phpdotenv dependency to ^3.0 in your composer.json file.

Upgrading To 5.7 From 5.6

We attempt to document every possible breaking change. Since some of these breaking changes are in obscure parts of the framework only a portion of these changes may actually affect your application.

Updating Dependencies

Update your laravel-zero/framework dependency to 5.7.* in your composer.json file.

Of course, don't forget to examine any 3rd party packages consumed by your application and verify you are using the proper version for Laravel Zero 5.7 support.

If you are using testing

Add the mockery/mockery package with version ^1.0 to the require-dev section of your composer.json file.

Update the contents of the following files:

• tests/CreatesApplication.php:

<?php

namespace Tests;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Console\Kernel;

trait CreatesApplication
{
    /**
     * Creates the application.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Foundation\Application
     */
    public function createApplication()
    {
        $app = require __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';

        $app->make(Kernel::class)->bootstrap();

        return $app;
    }
}

• tests/TestCase.php:

<?php

namespace Tests;

use LaravelZero\Framework\Testing\TestCase as BaseTestCase;

abstract class TestCase extends BaseTestCase
{
    use CreatesApplication;
}

If you are using the build feature

The internal behavior of build feature has changed. We are now using humbug/box to provide fast application bundling.

You should create a new file box.json on the root folder of your application with the following content:

{
    "chmod": "0755",
    "directories": [
        "app",
        "bootstrap",
        "config",
        "vendor"
    ],
    "files": [
        "composer.json"
    ],
    "exclude-composer-files": false,
    "compression": "GZ",
    "compactors": [
        "Herrera\\Box\\Compactor\\Php",
        "Herrera\\Box\\Compactor\\Json"
    ]
}

The option app:build with-dev option no longer exists, and the config/app.php structure parameter also no longer exists. In order to configure your build, you should configure the box.json file. Check github.com/humbug/box/blob/master/doc/configuration.md for more details.

Configs

The commands.php File

You should create a config/commands.php with the contents of https://github.com/laravel-zero/laravel-zero/blob/v5.6.6/config/commands.php. Please customize the created file in order to determine the commands that should appear in your ListCommand.

The app.php File

• App config with-scheduler is no longer available. You should use config/commands.php for it.
• App config default-command is no longer available. You should use config/commands.php for it.

The variable $this->app will now contain a base application class of Laravel, that is the container itself.
