Laravel empty database gives SQLSTATE[42S02] error - php

Question

I'm trying to migrate my database to an empty database,
but I get the following error when I do php artisan migrate:
[Illuminate\Database\QueryException]
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'portal-for-fun.permissions' doesn't exist (SQL: select *
from `permissions`)
[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'portal-for-fun.permissions' doesn't exist
All migrations can be found here: https://github.com/cskiwi/portal-for-fun/tree/master/database
but I think the problem lies here:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateRolesTables extends Migration {
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function up() {
Schema::create('roles', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('label')->nullable();
$table->integer('role_id')->unsigned()->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
$table->foreign('role_id')->references('id')->on('roles')->onDelete('cascade');
});
Schema::create('permissions', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('label')->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
});
Schema::create('permission_role', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->integer('permission_id')->unsigned();
$table->integer('role_id')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('permission_id')->references('id')->on('permissions')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreign('role_id')->references('id')->on('roles')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->primary(['permission_id', 'role_id']);
});
Schema::create('role_user', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->integer('role_id')->unsigned();
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('role_id')->references('id')->on('roles')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->primary(['role_id', 'user_id']);
});
Schema::create('permission_user', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->integer('permission_id')->unsigned();
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->foreign('permission_id')->references('id')->on('permissions')->onDelete('cascade');
$table->primary(['permission_id', 'user_id']);
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function down() {
Schema::dropIfExists('permission_user');
Schema::dropIfExists('role_user');
Schema::dropIfExists('permission_role');
Schema::dropIfExists('permissions');
Schema::dropIfExists('roles');
}
}
the database itself only contains an empty migration table

Answer 1

Create permission model in your project.
If you have permission model make sure that name in permission not Permission

Answer 2

I've had similar problem. Try to seaprate migrations and move part of them (those which use permissions table) from migrations folder. First, you should run migration which will create permissions table with php artisan migrate. Then move back migrations which create permission_role and permission_user tables to the migrations folder and run php artisan migrate again.
That helped me, hope it'll help you too.
