Laravel v5.5.21 Released image

Laravel v5.5.21 was released yesterday with a couple of new features related to configuration and testing.

As always, big thanks to Till Krüss for putting together all the release notes.

New Features

In #22022, support was added for MultiSubnetFailover, for SQL Server 2012.

AWS allows developers to customize their file URLs through DNS configuration, and now you can define a URL configuration just like the local driver:

's3' => [
'driver' => 's3',
'url' => 'https://files.example.org',
'key' => env('AWS_KEY'),
'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET'),
'region' => env('AWS_REGION'),
'bucket' => env('AWS_BUCKET'),
],

You are probably familiar with the test case method withoutMiddleware(), and now in v5.5.21 you can use the inverse withMiddleware().

For example, you might have a set of tests where you want to remove middleware for all test cases in a PHPUnit setUp() method, and want to add back a middleware in an individual test:

/** @test */
public function setUp()
{
parent::setUp();
 
$this->withoutMiddleware(MyMiddleware::class);
}
 
/** @test */
public function some_test_case_with_middleware()
{
$this->withMiddleware(MyMiddleware::class);
}

Test coverage was also added to both methods with v5.5.21.

Changes

The controller BadMethodCallException message now includes the controller name, which is helpful when debugging a missing controller method.

The output of Collection dump and dd methods was updated to have consistent output.
