Rename column in migration has no effect

• Database Driver & Version: MongoDB 4.4.14, mongodb php driver 1.13.0

Description:

When I try to rename a field of a collection within a migration using $table->renameColumn() the migration runs without errors but the fields in the collection have the same name as before running the migration

Steps to reproduce

Collection users:

{
    _id: 62859365a1767a00c9589712,
    name: "admin",
    role: "member"
}

Migration file:

class RenameUser extends Migration
{
    public function up()
    {
		Schema::table ('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
			$table->renameColumn ('role', 'global_role');
		});
    }
}

> php artisan migrate

Expected behaviour

I expected the same behavior as running the following monogdb command
db.users.updateMany ({},{ $rename: { 'role': 'global_role'}} )
The name of the field role should be global_role after running the migration.

Actual behaviour

Nothing, no error but also no effect.

I'm also facing the same issue, No error but renaming has not happened.
@flappix did you get any solution for this?

No, I think the schema builder is not capable of doing this. You could use a raw query instead of the schema builder like

public function up()
    {
		 DB::collection('users')->update([
            '$rename'=>['role'=> "global_role"],
        ]);
    }
