Model::updateOrInsert() returns an eloquent Builder object instead of bool

• Laravel Version: 8.48.1

• PHP Version: 7.4.19

• Database Driver & Version: 10.3.27-MariaDB

Description:

When I call on an Eloquent Model the updateOrInsert() method, it returns a Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder object, however regarding the documentation it should return a boolean.

This is fixed in 9.x: #37956 + maybe #38802 if it's merged.

For 8.x, call Model::query()->toBase() to evaluate the boolean return value:

App\Models\User::query()->toBase()->updateOrInsert(
    ['userID' => 1],
    ['userCountry' => 'UK']
);
// => true
