Laravel 9 Support

[bradley-varol]

Laravel 9 is now released - when can we expect to see Laravel 9 support here?

@bradley-varol Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I will scope the effort today and reply back here with an ETA.
Barring any craziness found in testing I don't see why this can't make it into the next release v1.6 🚀

Thank you @apolopena . In hindsight my PR description was a little demanding 😁

Looking forward to an ETA and getting started with this repo!

[apolopena]

@bradley-varol No worries. Welcome to the repo!

Looking good so far

And the workspace builds 😄 🚀

All presets work except The Vue preset that uses Material Dashboard.
I raised an issue with them.
I have the output of material dashboard install stifled so I don't know what the exact error is ATM. I assume it is an issue in material-dashboard since their latest release was in September 2021 and is labeled "Update to Laravel 8.x"

TODOS:

• Bypass this preset for now when laravel is >= 9.*
• Make note of this bypass in the readme.

Everything looks good. This will be released in v1.6 which is ahead of schedule.

Meanwhile you can test it or use it from the development-206 branch which is stable at the moment:
https://github.com/apolopena/gitpod-laravel-starter/tree/development-206

Note:
If you actually build a project from this branch you should update it with the latest release when it comes out.
Currently, updating gitpod-laravel-starter is a manual effort until #187 is completed.
