This is driving me bonkers. See this insert:
$subscription = new Subscription([
'user_id' => \Auth::user()->id,
'stripe_id' => $cart->stripe_sub_id,
'stripe_plan' => $panel->chosen_plan,
'last_order_id' => $order->id,
'latest_order_created' => true,
'price' => $panel->chosen_price,
'interval' => $cart->interval,
'next_billed' => \Carbon\Carbon::now()->addMonths($cart->interval)
]);
Everything works except this bit: 'latest_order_created' =>true which I have also tried as 'latest_order_created' => 1
It works on local, but on production it is always false, I cannot understand it?!
Migrations have been run, the field exists in DB, it's enabled as fillable and boolean in the model, and I've cleared the cache, config etc just to be sure.
What am I missing I am sure it must be something simple!
Since you are doing a mass assignment, have you checked in your Subscription model if you have that item listed in the $fillable array.
Not sure how that would work locally and not on production, but just to be sure.
And also make sure you use the same database as on production, the driver too.
Yes it's in the fillable array, and both DBs are using mysql. Everything else is working fine, I have been running and developing this app for 18 months!
What is the column type in both places?
Hi it was created using this migration:
$table->boolean('latest_order_created')->after('last_order_id')->default(true);
And then phpmyadmin shows it as a tinyint(1), default of 1, in both locations.
You should try debugging the problem with laravel debugbar package https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-debugbar it might give you some ideas about your issue source.
Thanks, actually I just worked it out. On production Stripe sends a webhook which then immediately turns this back to false, doh.
