i seem to have run into a rather obscure issue in which my Eloquent model's "update" query is not working anymore.
here's the query builder:
$os = OrderShipment::where('order_id', '=', $shipment->orderReferenceNumber)->update(array("api_shipment_id" => $data->shipmentId));
this query is inside an IF and so will only execute if $shipment->orderReferenceNumber has a value--which it does. this update query is always returning a false/0 updated rows.
inside of the OrderShipment model i have:
protected $fillable = [
'api_shipment_id',
'order_id',
'shipping_method_id'
];
so the value is updatable and within the "fillable" array. i've also made sure that i can use a select statement with the 'order-id' and find the data via that--but no dice there either. the query works just fine if i do it from within a MySQL console, however, so i'm just kind of stuck here right now.
