Laravel Migration table not created - php

Question

I am a new learner of Laravel.And I follow the tutorial to create a articles table.Here's part of my code in /database/migrations/2017_02_13_145946_create_article_table.php
public function up()
{
//
Schema::create('articles', function(Blueprint $table)
{
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('title');
$table->text('body')->nullable();
$table->integer('user_id');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
When I run php artisan migrate the table was not created.I googled the problem and ran php artisan migrate:reset command to delete all the tables.When I ran php artisan migate command again.It shows
Migrated: 2014_10_12_000000_create_users_table
Migrated: 2014_10_12_100000_create_password_resets_table
Migrated: 2017_02_13_145946_create_article_table
But nothing was created but only updated the record of migrations table.The table user and password_resets was also not created.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Answer 1

It is because of Table column(values) length is by default 1071 which not accept by mysql
To clear this problem go to mysql and delete all the tables.
Go to your application(project) folder => app => Providers
write this on top of your AppServiceProvider.php file.
//edit:yrs:- Needed for edit
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
write this inside the boot method
//edit:yrs:-we can edit column sizefor tables here
Schema::defaultStringLength(150);
then come to console and execute the
*command />php artisan migrate:status and see the run status is y or n if it is n then execute
*command />`php artisan migrate`
*command />`php artisan migrate:status` and then
*command />`php artisan migrate:refresh` and then
*command />`php artisan migrate:status`
that's all your done with createing with tables in mysql

I normally try several things:
In the console do rollbacks till you get 'nothing to rollback':
php artisan migrate:rollback
Then, check your article migration file and look for down function (if you haven't one you need to add it)
public function down()
{
// Drop articles table
Schema::drop('articles');
}
Save your migration article file(I know it sounds dumb, but it happened to me before). I would recommend to change the name of the file also, from:
2017_02_13_145946_create_article_table.php, to:
2017_02_13_145946_create_articles_table.php
Use:
composer dump-autoload
Go to your database(laravel_db in this case) and check if there are any table(Mysql Console):
show databases;
use laravel_database:
show tables;
If there are not any table but migrations, delete it using:
drop table migrations;
Once you have the database empty, run the migrations from console:
php artisan migrate
Finally, if not errors being trowed, check the tables created(Mysql Console):
show tables;
