ℹ️ To slim down the Laravel installation, Laravel 11 no longer has most of the core files previously included in the default Laravel application. While you are welcome to publish and customize these files, they are no longer required.

Shift takes an iterative approach to removing core files which are not customized or where its customizations may be done elsewhere in a modern Laravel 11 application. As such, you may see some commits removing files and others re-registering your customizations.

⚠️ Shift detected a custom namespace. Laravel now recommends keeping the default App namespace. Unfortunately the app:name command was removed in Laravel 6.0. However, for the most part you may do a simple search and replace to change the namespace.

Shift recommends changing this to align with the latest Laravel conventions and improve Shift's automation. After doing so, you may request a rerun of this Shift.

ℹ️ Laravel 9 moved the resources/lang folder to the top level of the project. While Shift automated this change, you may have additional references to the previous folder which need to be updated.

ℹ️ Starting with Laravel 10, the lang folder is no longer included in a default Laravel application. Laravel now recursively merges any customizations with framework defaults.

Shift streamlined your language files by removing them since they did not contain any customizations. If you wish to keep the full set of language, Shift recommends running artisan config:publish --all --force to get the latest configuration files from Laravel 11, then reapplying the customizations Shift streamlined.

ℹ️ Laravel 11 no longer requires you to maintain the default configuration files. Your configuration now merges with framework defaults.

Shift streamlined your configuration files by removing options that matched the Laravel defaults and preserving your true customizations. These are values which are not changeable through ENV variables.

If you wish to keep the full set of configuration files, Shift recommends running artisan config:publish --all --force to get the latest configuration files from Laravel 11, then reapplying the customizations Shift streamlined.

[thekevinm]

ℹ️ Shift detected customized options within your configuration files which may be set with an ENV variable. To help keep your configuration files streamlined, you may set the following variables. Be sure adjust any values per environment.

APP_NAME=DreamFactory
ARGON_MEMORY=1024
ARGON_THREADS=2
ARGON_TIME=2
AUTH_MODEL=\DreamFactory\Core\Models\User
AUTH_PASSWORD_RESET_TOKEN_TABLE=password_resets
BCRYPT_ROUNDS=10
CACHE_STORE=file
DB_CACHE_CONNECTION=sqlite
DB_DATABASE=dreamfactory
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_USERNAME=
LOG_LEVEL=warning
LOG_STDERR_FORMATTER=Monolog\Formatter\LineFormatter
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync
REDIS_CLIENT=predis
REDIS_QUEUE_CONNECTION=queue
SESSION_DRIVER=array
SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE=false

Note: some of these may simply be values which changed between Laravel versions. You may ignore any ENV variables you do not need to customize.

[thekevinm]

ℹ️ Shift detected your application uses custom ENV variables for configuration options which have ENV variables in Laravel. Shift recommends renaming the following variables to use the one provided by Laravel:

• APP_LOG_LEVEL to LOG_LEVEL
• CACHE_PERSISTENT_ID to MEMCACHED_PERSISTENT_ID
• CACHE_TABLE to DB_CACHE_TABLE
• DB_CONNECTION to DB_CACHE_CONNECTION
• FILESYSTEM_DRIVER to FILESYSTEM_DISK
• QUEUE_HOST to BEANSTALKD_QUEUE_HOST
• QUEUE_NAME to REDIS_QUEUE
• QUEUE_RETRY_AFTER to REDIS_QUEUE_RETRY_AFTER
• REDIS_DATABASE to REDIS_DB

[thekevinm]

⚠️ The BROADCAST_DRIVER, CACHE_DRIVER, and DATABASE_URL environment variables were renamed in Laravel 11 to BROADCAST_CONNECTION, CACHE_STORE, and DB_URL, respectively.

Shift automated this change for your committed files, but you should review any additional locations where your environment is configured and update to the new variable names.

❌ The bootstrap/app.php file has been completely rewritten in Laravel 11 to allow configuring your Laravel application in a single location. Shift overwrote your file, but detected it may have contained customizations. You should review the diff to see if any of your customizations are still needed.
