Upgrade Log: Laravel 11 → 12 + Ecosystem

Prompt

Hi, we are going to update to the next version of Laravel And updates everything that goes along with it. so please run composer outdated. Gather all the resources you need to do the updates and then make plan. What I also want you to do is keep all the exceptions, all the errors, everything that's out of the ordinary in a markdown file. Keep track of that. Because we are going to do this a lot more times and I want to make a list of exceptions and weird things. So we don't have to reinvent the wheel every time. There is a UPDATE_LOG containing the progress and some errors found during previous updates, Consult this when needed and update and add to it when needed.

There are upgrade logs from other project read them and see if there are any exceptions or errors that you might encounter during the upgrade process.

Then when the composer has been done do the npm outdated and do the same thing. Gather all the resources, make a plan, and keep track of all the exceptions and log anything out of the ordinary in the same markdown file.

Is that somewhat clear?

This file tracks all exceptions, errors, gotchas, and unusual things encountered during the upgrade process. Intended to be reusable for future upgrades.

Errors Encountered During Upgrade

Composer Resolution Errors

  1. codezero packages block Laravel 12codezero/laravel-localized-routes ^4, codezero/laravel-localizer ^3, and codezero/laravel-uri-translator ^2 all hard-require illuminate/support ^10.0|^11.0. No stable release supports L12. Fix: Replaced with opgginc/codezero-laravel-localized-routes ^5.0 (maintained fork that supports L12 natively, same CodeZero\LocalizedRoutes namespace — drop-in replacement). Also removed codezero/laravel-localizer entirely (use_localizer was false in config, package was unused).

Runtime Errors

  1. Barryvdh\Debugbar\ServiceProvider not found — After upgrading debugbar v3 → v4, composer update --no-scripts left stale autoload. Fixed by running composer dump-autoload which re-ran package discovery.

  2. CodeZero\Localizer\LocalizerServiceProvider not found — After removing codezero/laravel-localizer, stale bootstrap/cache/packages.php still referenced it. Fix: Delete bootstrap/cache/packages.php and bootstrap/cache/services.php, then composer dump-autoload.

  3. Filament\Upgrade\UpgradeServiceProvider not found — After upgrading filament/upgrade from v4 to v5, the v5 package no longer has a ServiceProvider but the cached packages.php still referenced v4's SP. Fix: Same as #2.

  4. Filament v4: $navigationGroup type mismatchprotected static ?string $navigationGroup must now be protected static string | \UnitEnum | null $navigationGroup. Same for $navigationIconstring | \BackedEnum | null. All Filament resource files need updating. The filament-v4 upgrade rector script did NOT catch this — must be fixed manually.

  5. Filament v4: form() method signature changedform(Form $form): Formform(Schema $schema): Schema. The filament-v4 rector script DOES handle this, but only if run after composer update installs Filament v4. The rector script requires interactive input (directory prompt — press Enter for default app/, or type modules for custom dirs). Use echo "" | vendor/bin/filament-v4 and echo "modules" | vendor/bin/filament-v4 for non-interactive runs.

Test Failures

(None — all 11 tests passed at every stage)

Frontend Build Errors

  1. Tailwind v4: @tailwindcss/upgrade can't handle callback-based config — The automated migration tool failed with Cannot destructure property 'negative' when tailwind.config.js used (theme, { negative }) => syntax (old TW v2/v3 pattern). Also failed with variants is not a function from @formkit/themes/tailwindcss plugin. Fix: Manual migration instead of automated tool.

  2. Tailwind v4: @apply of custom classes in @layer base fails — Custom utilities like pl-container defined with @apply inside @layer base {} and then @apply'd by other classes (like .container) fail with Cannot apply unknown utility class. Fix: Convert to @utility blocks instead of @layer base.

  3. Tailwind v4: @import must precede all other statements — Warning about @import "./utility.css" appearing after @theme {}. Fix: Move @import to the top, right after @import "tailwindcss".

Warnings

  1. PHPUnit XML config deprecationYour XML configuration validates against a deprecated schema. Migrate your XML configuration using "--migrate-configuration"! — Non-blocking, cosmetic warning from PHPUnit 12.

Lessons Learned

  1. Always delete bootstrap/cache/packages.php and services.php after package changes — Stale service provider references cause Class not found errors. Do this after every major composer operation.

  2. Run Filament upgrade scripts BEFORE composer update for the rector processing, then AGAIN AFTER composer update for the files to match the new APIs. The rector script only processes directories you specify — remember to run it separately for app/ and modules/ (or any custom dirs).

  3. Filament v4 rector script doesn't catch property type changes$navigationGroup and $navigationIcon type changes must be fixed manually. Search for protected static ?string $navigationGroup and $navigationIcon.

  4. codezero packages are abandoned — Replaced with opgginc/codezero-laravel-localized-routes (maintained fork, same namespace). Also removed codezero/laravel-localizer (was unused — use_localizer was false).

  5. Tailwind v4 migration tool doesn't work with complex configs — Callback-based theme extensions and third-party plugins (like FormKit) cause the automated tool to fail. Manual migration is more reliable.

  6. Tailwind v4: @layer base@utility for custom utility classes — Classes that get @apply'd by other classes must use the new @utility directive. Plain CSS rules in @layer base still work.

  7. Tailwind v4: PostCSS config simplified — Replace tailwindcss + autoprefixer plugins with just @tailwindcss/postcss. Remove autoprefixer package.

  8. npm uninstall can fail with peer dependency conflicts — Use --force flag when removing old TW v3 plugins that have peer dependencies on TW v3 while TW v4 is already installed.

Session Notes — 2026-02-10 (Discovery / Planning)

Exceptions / Out-of-the-Ordinary

  1. Composer cache path not writable in sandboxcomposer outdated warned: Cannot create cache directory /Users/vincentverbruggen/Library/Caches/composer/.... Workaround: Run with COMPOSER_CACHE_DIR=/tmp/composer-cache.

  2. DNS resolution fails in sandbox for Composer repos — non-escalated runs reported:

    • Could not resolve host: strixi.repo.repman.io
    • Could not resolve host: repo.packagist.org Composer then loaded package info from local cache and warned it may be out of date.
  3. Accurate outdated data requires network-enabled run — using elevated network access produced a complete and fresh composer outdated result.

Verified Current State

  1. Laravel framework status (as of 2026-02-10):

    • Installed: laravel/framework v12.50.0
    • Latest stable visible via Composer metadata: v12.50.0 (released 2026-02-04)
    • 13.0.x-dev exists, but no stable v13 tag is listed yet.
  2. Composer actionable updates from fresh run:

    • Direct dependency update available: laravel/boost 2.0.0 -> 2.1.1 (minor/patch level).
  3. NPM actionable updates snapshot:

    • Non-breaking/minor updates available for several packages (@inertiajs/vue3, vue, axios, laravel-vite-plugin, @vitejs/plugin-vue, etc.).
    • Major updates available for linting stack (eslint and @eslint/js v10).
  4. Current baseline test failures (pre-upgrade state):

    • php artisan test --compact on 2026-02-10 reports 4 failing tests and 7 passing tests.
    • All 4 failures are validation-related (HTTP 422 instead of expected 200) with the same message: E-mailadres is geen geldig e-mailadres.
    • Affected tests:
      • Tests\Feature\ContactFormSubmissionTest (2 cases)
      • Tests\Feature\JobApplicationFormSubmissionTest (2 cases)
  5. Transitive major updates are visible but mostly not actionable yet:

    • composer outdated reports many ~ major updates for Symfony 7.x/8.x-adjacent and PHPUnit internals.
    • Treat these as future Laravel-major alignment work rather than immediate upgrades to force directly.
  6. Filament CSS/asset load troubleshooting (2026-02-10):

    • Symptom: Filament panel styling appeared not to load after upgrade.
    • Action taken: php artisan filament:upgrade (republished Filament assets and cleared config/route/view caches).
    • Result: command completed successfully with Successfully published assets and Successfully upgraded.
    • Reusable rule: prefer filament:upgrade first; only consider manual asset directory cleanup if issue persists.
  7. ESLint + Tailwind v4 compatibility (2026-02-10):

    • Symptom: ESLint crashed with Error: Could not resolve tailwindcss from eslint-plugin-tailwindcss.
    • Context: project uses Tailwind CSS v4 (tailwindcss@4.1.18) with CSS-first config, and no active tailwind.config.js.
    • Action taken: removed eslint-plugin-tailwindcss config usage from eslint.config.mjs (import, flat preset, and plugin-specific settings/rules) to avoid false failures.
    • Result: ESLint now executes normally and reports regular code-style/type issues instead of crashing.
    • Reference: https://github.com/francoismassart/eslint-plugin-tailwindcss (v4 support is still partial/work-in-progress).
  8. NPM dependency update pass (2026-02-10):

    • Pre-check: npm outdated --json showed 19 outdated entries.
      • Minor/patch in-range updates available for app deps (Inertia, Vue, Vite plugin, FormKit, etc.).
      • Major updates still available for eslint / @eslint/js (v10) and intentionally not applied in this pass.
    • Action taken: npm update.
    • Command result: added 9 packages, removed 13 packages, changed 95 packages, audited 426 packages, found 0 vulnerabilities.
    • Post-check: npm outdated --json now only shows:
      • @eslint/js 9.39.2 (latest 10.0.1, major)
      • eslint 9.39.2 (latest 10.0.0, major)
      • eslint-plugin-tailwindcss 4.0.0-beta.0 (latest stable line reported as 3.18.2)
      • @rollup/rollup-linux-x64-gnu (platform binary metadata entry)
    • Notable updated packages now in lockfile:
      • @inertiajs/vue3 2.3.13
      • vue 3.5.28
      • @vue/server-renderer 3.5.28
      • vue-i18n 11.2.8
      • @formkit/addons / @formkit/vue 1.7.2
      • @vitejs/plugin-vue 6.0.4
      • laravel-vite-plugin 2.1.0
      • @vueuse/core 14.2.1
      • swiper 12.1.0
      • eslint-plugin-unused-imports 4.4.1
      • globals 17.3.0
    • Reusable rule: run npm commands with network access in this environment when sandboxed runs hang or return no output.

Goos Errors & Gotchas

  1. codezero packages block L12 — Same as cleanshopping. Replaced codezero/laravel-localized-routes ^4 with opgginc/codezero-laravel-localized-routes ^5.0. Removed codezero/laravel-localizer ^3 (unused — no PHP code references CodeZero\Localizer). Removed codezero/composer-preload-files from allow-plugins.

  2. codezero/composer-preload-files plugin blocked — After removing from allow-plugins, the plugin still existed in vendor (transitive dependency). Composer refused to run. Fix: composer config --no-plugins allow-plugins.codezero/composer-preload-files false.

  3. Localized routes: /en/ prefix no longer generated — After switching to opgginc/codezero-laravel-localized-routes ^5, the PageTest fails: redirects for English locale no longer have /en/ prefix (e.g., /ds instead of /en/ds). The config/localized-routes.php omitted_locale is nl, so English should get prefixed. Status: Needs investigation — may be a config difference in the v5 fork. Monitor during manual testing.

  4. johncarter/filament-focal-point-picker incompatible with Filament v5 — Latest v4.1.0 and dev-main only support filament/filament ^3.0|^4.0. No v5 support. Fix: Removed package, replaced FocalPointPicker with TextInput for focal point fields (stores coordinates as string like "50% 50%"). Consider forking or finding alternative.

  5. filament/spatie-laravel-translatable-plugin deprecated in v4 — No v5 release exists. Fix: Replaced with lara-zeus/spatie-translatable ^2.0 (recommended by Filament upgrade tool). Namespace changed: Filament\SpatieLaravelTranslatablePluginLaraZeus\SpatieTranslatable\SpatieLaravelTranslatablePlugin (handled by rector).

  6. laravel-vite-plugin v2 requires Vite 7laravel-vite-plugin ^2 has peer vite@"^7.0.0". Had to bump vite from ^6.2.0 to ^7.0.0.

  7. eslint-plugin-tailwindcss incompatible with TW v4eslint-plugin-tailwindcss ^3 requires tailwindcss ^3.4.0. Fix: Removed from devDependencies. TW v4 ESLint plugin support is still WIP upstream.

  8. PHPUnit metadata deprecation warnings — 15 test methods use @test doc-comment annotations. PHPUnit 12 requires PHP attributes instead. Non-blocking but noisy.

  9. Filament v4+v5 rector ran successfully — Processed app/, cms/, commerce/, modules/, support/ directories for both v4 and v5 rectors. 112+ files modified. No manual $navigationGroup/$navigationIcon type fixes needed (project uses method overrides instead of static properties).

  10. Inertia v2 SSR config — Changed ssr.noExternal from ['@inertiajs/server'] to ['@inertiajs/vue3'] in vite.config.js. @inertiajs/server no longer exists in Inertia v2.

Final tests: 2 failed (1 pre-existing ShippingAddressControllerTest + 1 new PageTest locale prefix), 15 passed (51 assertions) Frontend build: Clean (client + SSR), 0 vulnerabilities

Post-Upgrade Fixes (Browser Testing Session)

  1. PHPUnit 12 drops @test annotation support — Pest v4 uses PHPUnit 12, which no longer recognizes /** @test */ doc annotations. All test methods using @test must be updated to use #[PHPUnit\Framework\Attributes\Test] attribute or test_ method prefix. Without this, tests are silently not discovered.

  2. Filament v5 Component::$container uninitialized error — Using getChildComponents() on Filament form components outside a Livewire context (e.g., during frontend page rendering) throws Typed property Component::$container must not be accessed before initialization. Fix: replace getChildComponents() with getDefaultChildComponents() which returns raw component arrays without requiring a Schema/Livewire container. Affected: cms/Filament/Blocks/Block.php methods getSchema() and hasSettings().

  3. Filament v5 Field::make() signature changemake(string $name) changed to make(?string $name = null). Any subclass overriding make() with string $name = '' must update to ?string $name = null. Affected: app/Forms/Components/DisplayText.php.

  4. Pest v4 requires protected setUp() — PHPUnit 12 uses protected function setUp(): void. If Tests\TestCase declares public function setUp(), Pest v4 fails with Access level to Pest\Concerns\Testable::setUp() must be public. Fix: change to protected function setUp(): void.

  5. Pest Browser Testing setup — Requires npm install playwright in project root + npx playwright install chromium. The plugin starts its own internal HTTP server (AMP-based) and boots the Laravel kernel directly — no external server needed. Browser test directory: tests/Browser/.

  6. Filament v5 ViewAction on ListRecords pages crashesViewAction::make() in getHeaderActions() on a list page causes getViewAuthorizationResponse(): Argument #1 ($record) must be of type Model, null given. In v5, ViewAction tries to authorize against a record, but list pages have no record. Fix: replace with Action::make('name') for navigation-only header actions. Affected: cms/Filament/Resources/BlogResource/Pages/ListBlogs.php.

Browser tests: 4 passed (homepage, terms, contact, products all render correctly) Updated test results: 1 failed (PageTest locale prefix — pre-existing codezero issue), 15 passed (49 assertions) + 4 browser tests passed
