Custom indexes has no strings, php detects constant.

• Laravel Version: 8.x (latest)
• PHP Version: 7.4.13
• Blueprint Version: 1.19
• Platform: Mac | Windows | Linux

Issue:

When generating custom indexes the index will be printed without '' which causes it to fail on the migrations.

Schema::disableForeignKeyConstraints();
     17▕
     18▕         Schema::create('cooltable', function (Blueprint $table) {
     19▕             $table->id();
  ➜  20▕             $table->foreignId('coolcool')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete()->index(custom_index_coolcool);
     21▕             $table->foreignId('foobar')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete()->index(custom_index_foobar);
     22▕         });

# PLEASE PASTE THE DRAFT FILE WHICH REPRODUCES THE ISSUE HERE...

Draft is not required, a custom index will fail because it misses strings, therefore php detects is as a constant which is not defined.

@mikevandiepen, while I appreciate you feel a draft file is not required, it helps to quickly recreate the problem. Especially for these less used syntaxes.

Please include one and I'll reopen this bug.

I'm willing to mail it the draft file to you, but i'm not putting my system architecture out in the open. Anyhow, I've been able to circumvent this by adding ' around the custom index name in the draft. For example; index:'custom_index_name_foreign'
instead of index:custom_index_name_foreign

You can just put the necessary part and anonymize it if you feel it's proprietary in some way.
