Laravel Eloquent - $fillable is not working?

Question

I have set the variable $fillable in my model. I wanted to test the update functionality, and I get this error:

SQLSTATE[42S

Answer 1

I experienced this breaking after updating from Laravel 5.2 to 5.4 - I can't find anything in the documentation / migration guide that covers it.

As covered in this github issue the correct fix/use of Eloquent seems to be:

Positions::find($id)->fill(Input::all())->save();

To trigger the fillable check by laravel and then perist the changes.
