Homestead: How to upgrade PHP version


Homestead: How to upgrade PHP version



I installed a year ago Homestead with Laravel 5.5.



Now I want to upgrade to Laravel 5.6.



I upgraded Homestead as explained here with


vagrant box update
git pull origin master



This forced me also to upgrade my vagrant to 2.1.2.


vagrant


2.1.2



Now when I log in with



vagrant ssh


vagrant ssh



I cannot upgrade to Laravel 5.6, because when I run composer update I get this warning:


composer update



Loading composer repositories with package information Updating
dependencies (including require-dev) Your requirements could not be
resolved to an installable set of packages.



Problem 1
- This package requires php >=7.1.3 but your PHP version (7.0.27; Package overridden via config.platform (actual: 7.1.7)) does not
satisfy that requirement. Problem 2
- laravel/framework v5.6.9 requires php ^7.1.3 -> your PHP version (7.1.7-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1) overridden by
"config.platform.php" version (7.0.27) does not satisfy that
requirement.



If I call php -v in the vagrant machine I get


php -v



PHP 7.1.7-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Jul 7 2017 09:41:45) ( NTS )



Which would be okay because Laravel only requires PHP 7.1.3, but the upgrade gets stucks because composer claims I am using PHP 7.0.27.


PHP 7.1.3


PHP 7.0.27



WHy is that and how can I fix it?



I even tried


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade



as suggested here but it still does not work. Some packages have been kept back on the upgrade:



The following packages have been kept back: libdrm-amdgpu1 libdrm2
libegl1-mesa libgbm1 libgd3 libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx
libglapi-mesa libwayland-egl1-mesa mssql-tools open-vm-tools
php7.1-bcmath php7.1-cli php7.1-common php7.1-curl php7.1-dev
php7.1-fpm php7.1-gd php7.1-imap php7.1-intl php7.1-json
php7.1-mbstring php7.1-mysql php7.1-opcache php7.1-pgsql
php7.1-readline php7.1-soap php7.1-sqlite3 php7.1-xml php7.1-zip 0
upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 30 not upgraded.

The solution is actually part of your question. If we have a second look at the composer error:



Problem 1 - This package requires php >=7.1.3 but your PHP version (7.0.27; Package overridden via config.platform [...]



This means you do have something like the following in your composer.json, which you need to change or remove prior to the update:


composer.json


"config": {
"platform": {
"php": "7.0.7"
},
"preferred-install": "dist",
"optimize-autoloader": true
}



You can change it to the actual platform version or remove it at all. It is used to emulate an environment, which can be handy if you want to check if you could for example run composer install on your server when it has another PHP version than your development machine.


composer install





Just remove "platform": { "php": "7.0.7" }, ?

"platform": { "php": "7.0.7" },





I added an explanation in my answer, which might give you an idea what it does. So yes, go ahead and remove it or set it to your new PHP version.

This is the answer to the question but please note that that platform variable might have been intentional. Maybe your deployment server only has php 7.0.7, so you upgrading your local php version is bound to create the exact same errors later on when you deploy again.

@Loek Well, then they shouldn't update to Laravel 5.6. :)

Haha yep, but I've seen so many people make "mistakes" like this, I just thought to point it out.

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV

Export result set on Dbeaver to CSV Normally I use Dbeaver for windows and always export my result set like this: run my query --> select the result --> export the result set --> select export to clipboard --> done This step by step puts my result set in my clipboard and I can paste it wherever I want to work with it. The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select. As a result it does't select my result or anything (besides being "successful"). Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
