Upgrade Laravel 5.6 to 5.7


I want to upgrade Laravel to 5.7 because I need new features, but I can't find any easy way.

I followed these steps:-Upgrading Laravel Version but I found an error during composer update

I got this error and I also tried to solve the solution but it is not working

My composer.json file:

Solution

  • Just update your laravel/framework dependency to 5.7.* in your composer.json file. Since you are upgrading from 5.6 to 5.7 then, you can easily just run composer update

    And if you were doing custom modifications in your 5.6 application, then you can check the Upgrade Guide for a more detailed info.
