New Session Input Assertion Method in Laravel 5.8.30 image

The Laravel team released v5.8.30 with a new assertSessionHasInput() method along with all the latest changes and fixes. This is a rather large release, so be sure to check out the full changelog for details.

Related: Laravel v6 Announcement!

First up, two new testing methods were added for convenience: option() and optionJson() for making HTTP OPTION requests:

$this->option('/example');
$this->optionJson('/api/example');

Next, new migration methods are available for UUID morphs which takes care of creating the columns necessary for the type, the UUID field, and index:

// UUID Morphs
$table->uuidMorphs('imageable');
 
// Or nullable UUID Morphs
$table->nullableUuidMorphs('imageable');

The MailgunTransport class now has the capability of setting the endpoint if you need to switch domains and API endpoints:

$mailTransport = app()->make('mailer')->getSwiftMailer()->getTransport();
$mailTransport->setDomain('yourdomain.com');
$mailTransport->setEndpoint('api.eu.mailgun.net');

The WEBP mime is now valid in the built-in image validation rule.

Next, a new assertSessionHasInput() test method was added to the TestResponse class. With the new method you can avoid writing test assertions based on the internal name of flashed session data:

// Without the new method...
$response->assertSessionHas('_old_input', [
'connection_id' => $connection->id,
'repository' => $repository,
'source_branch' => $branch,
]);
 
// As of v5.8.30 :)
$response->assertSessionHasInput([
'connection_id' => $connection->id,
'repository' => $repository,
'source_branch' => $branch,
]);

Next, support for custom Redis driver is possible. Check out the pull request #29275 to learn more about the details.

And the last new feature is column collation support in Postgres:

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->string('name')->collation('nb_NO.utf8');
});

Check out the columns section (under “Column Modifiers”) in the official docs for details.
