⚠ Laravel 5.5 streamlined the Exception Handler. Shift was unable to upgrade app/Exceptions/Handler.php. You should compare yours against the Laravel 5.5 version and merge these changes manually.

ℹ In Laravel 5.5, the Request has() method returns true for empty strings and null. If you would like to preserve the old behavior of the has() method, you may use the new filled() method instead.

ℹ In Laravel 5.5, the Request only() method returns attributes that are actually present in the request payload. If you would like to preserve the old behavior of the only() method, you may use the all() method instead.

⚠ Shift detected you are using the Laravel BrowserKit Testing package. Laravel changed its testing layer in Laravel 5.4. Once you have verified this upgrade, you can use the Laravel 5.4 Tests Shift to upgrade your tests to the new Laravel testing layer.

ℹ Laravel 5.5 changed the default format for HTTP exception responses. This may affect your application if you rely upon default JSON responses. Review the Exception Format section of the Upgrade Guide for more detail.

ℹ Laravel 5.5 removed bootstrap/autoload.php and uses the Composer vendor/autoload.php instead. If you were referencing bootstrap/autoload.php directly, you should upgrade your application accordingly.

[driesvints]

ℹ If you are using the database cache driver, you should run php artisan cache:clear when running your upgraded Laravel 5.5 application for the first time.

[driesvints]

ℹ Laravel 5.5 uses package auto-discovery to make it easier to install and enable packages. This may require you to update Composer. You may do so by running composer self-update. Review the Composer documentation for more details.

ℹ If you have manually upgraded your app from previous versions of Laravel, you should run the Laravel Linter to ensure your app is fully upgraded to the latest version of Laravel.

❌ PHP syntax errors were detected after running your Shift. Often these are misplaced lines due to an unexpected code format.
