Laravel 5.3 migration doesn't create tables - php

Question

I created some migrations using the command php artisan migrate:make and then filled it and saved it with some fields. This is a fresh installation and the first migration to run.
I ran php artisan migrate and the migration completed successfully. However, while the migrations table IS created, and it has a single row with the filename and batch 1, there is no table.
Here's my migration file code:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateFuelLocationsTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function up()
{
//
Schema::create('fuel_locations', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('uid');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('fuel_type');
$table->string('email');
$table->string('street');
$table->string('city');
$table->string('state');
$table->string('zip');
$table->string('phone');
$table->string('service_hours');
$table->string('payment_methods');
$table->string('payment_method_other');
$table->decimal('latitude', 3, 7);
$table->decimal('longitude', 3, 7);
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function down()
{
//
Schema::dropIfExists('fuel_locations');
}
}
And a few lines from my config/database.php:
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'database' => 'mydb',
'host' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'charset' => env('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'),
'collation' => env('DB_COLLATION', 'utf8_unicode_ci'),
'prefix' => env('DB_PREFIX', ''),
'timezone' => env('DB_TIMEZONE', '+00:00'),
'strict' => env('DB_STRICT_MODE', false),
],
I did try changing the host to 127.0.0.1 but that wouldn't connect. How can I fix it so that it does create the table like it's supposed to.

Answer 1

The problem is with the following lines:
$table->decimal('latitude', 3, 7);
$table->decimal('longitude', 3, 7);
You should be getting an exception similar to the following
[PDOException] SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1427
For float(M,D), double(M,D) or decimal(M,D), M must be >= D (column
'latitude').
when you do the migration.
Change to the following
$table->decimal('latitude', 10, 7);
$table->decimal('longitude', 10, 7);
and it should work.
Numeric precision refers to the maximum number of digits that are present in the number
