Upgrade laravel to v.8

• Upgrade Docker to Ubu 20.04 and PHP 7.4.

Set in composer.json

Mentioned in lara's upgrade page

{
"laravel/framework": "^8.0",
"phpunit/phpunit": "^9.0"
}

Set latest versions

From https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/8.x/composer.json or manually.

• https://github.com/laravel/tinker/releases
• https://github.com/dingo/api/releases
• https://github.com/fruitcake/laravel-cors/releases
• https://github.com/fideloper/TrustedProxy/releases

Remove currently unused libs and scripts

Can be added later one by one. Like "fzaninotto/faker": "^1.4",.

Keep the container alive

• https://github.com/Janis-Rullis-IT/dev/blob/4f55a1f6701e5e0d422aa577942e3a310d5feb28/Tools/Docker/Keep-container-alive.md

Connect to the container

docker exec -it ruu-laravel5 bash

Call composer update

composer update -W             

Test lara's CLI

php artisan config:clear

Raises an error in /var/www/app/Exceptions/Handler.php on line 35

PHP Fatal error:  Declaration of App\Exceptions\Handler::report(Exception $exception) must be compatible with Illuminate\Foundation\Exceptions\Handler::report(Throwable $e) in /var/www/app/Exceptions/Handler.php on line 35
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught ReflectionException: Class App\Exceptions\Handler does not exist in /var/www/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Container/Container.php:873

Solution

Take the example from v.8. lib - https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/8.x/app/Exceptions/Handler.php

Raises an error In ProviderRepository.php line 208:

Class 'Barryvdh\Cors\ServiceProvider' not found

When all errors are solved

docker stop ruu-laravel5
./start.sh

rm -f bootstrap/cache/config.php
composer clear-cache
composer dumpautoload -o
composer install
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear

php artisan migrate

Last step - migration fails

Solved in https://github.com/Janis-Rullis-IT/lara5-vue2-api/issues/4#issuecomment-906990013

Test the page

http://ruu.local/ opens but has problems with displaying products because http://api.ruu.local/products throws an error.

Check on Postman http://api.ruu.local/products

Right, doh, Docker still has the TAIL cmd instead of RUN.

docker stop ruu-laravel5
docker-compose build --no-cache ruu-laravel5
docker-compose up ruu-laravel5

Now it gives 502 because of a ref to PHP 7.2

laravel5/build/nginx/site.conf

Barryvdh\\Cors\\HandleCors] does not exist

Solution

• https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/class-barryvdhcorsserviceprovider-not-found?page=1&replyId=596966

Now Postman returns the expected output.

CORS error from the website

MissingAlloweOriginHeader.

laravel5/config/cors.php

'allowedOrigins' => ['*'],
'allowedOriginsPatterns' => [],

but https://github.com/fruitcake/laravel-cors/blob/master/config/cors.php has allowed_origins.

Yes, this is mentioned in https://github.com/fruitcake/laravel-cors#upgrading-from-0x--barryvdh-laravel-cors

The casing on the props in cors.php has changed from camelCase to snake_case, so if you already have a cors.php file you will need to update the props in there to match the new casing..

Try to refresh the cors

• Replace cors.php content with https://github.com/fruitcake/laravel-cors/blob/master/config/cors.php
• Set this 'paths' => ['*'],.

Now works.
