Laravel 11.24 Released

The Laravel team released v11.24 this week, with new shorthands for Process fakes, a nullOnUpdate() method for foreign key definitions, support for retrying multiple batch IDs when retrying jobs, and more.

A quick note that as of the time of writing, auto-discovery of console commands in the app/Console/Commands path was broken in v11.24.0. This issue was quickly patched in v11.24.1.

I'd recommend waiting for a patch update, but this could confuse you if you update and application console commands are missing.

#Add prependLocation() to View Factory

Noboru Shiroiwa added the prependLocation() method to the View factory, which enables you to use the method with the View facade:

// Before
View::getFinder()->addLocation($path);     // ✅
View::getFinder()->prependLocation($path); // ✅
View::addLocation($path);                  // ✅
View::prependLocation($path);              // ❌
 
// After
View::prependLocation($path);              // ✅

#Add nullOnUpdate() Method to ForeignKeyDefinition

Gisu Nasrollahi contributed a nullOnUpdate() method to the ForeignKeyDefinition schema class, which indicates that updates on the referenced model should set the foreign key value to null.

$table->foreign('user_id')
      ->references('id')
      ->on('users')
      ->nullOnUpdate();

#Allow BackedEnum to be Used With Route::can()

@Omegadela contributed support for backed enums in the Route::can() method:

// Before
Route::post('/request', function () {...})->can(Permissions::CAN_REQUEST->value);
 
// After
Route::post('/request', function () {...})->can(Permissions::CAN_REQUEST);

#Add Result Shorthands for Process Fakes

Jason McCreary contributed two new result shorthands for Process fake results in tests. The first example is a shorthand to set the exit code. The second example is a shorthand for throwing an exception.

Process::fake([
    'php -l script.php' => 255,
    'cat README.txt' => new \RuntimeException('fake exception message'),
]);

Here's an example of the fake in action from the Pull Request's tests:

// Exit code example
$factory = new Factory;
$factory->fake(['ls -la' => 1]);
 
$result = $factory->run('ls -la');
$this->assertSame(1, $result->exitCode());
$this->assertFalse($result->successful());
 
// Exception example
$this->expectException(\RuntimeException::class);
$this->expectExceptionMessage('fake exception message');
 
$factory = new Factory;
 
$factory->fake(['cat me' => new \RuntimeException('fake exception message')]);
 
$factory->run('cat me');

#Support Multiple Batch IDs When Retrying Failed Batch Jobs

Sean Kegel updated the queue:retry-batch command to accept multiple IDs so that multiple jobs can be retried at once:

php artisan queue:retry-batch \
  '9d0ed667-8c3a-4385-8a07-aff118a21e5c' \
  '9d0ed6f1-b8dd-486b-8761-f89de0fb68e3'
