Migrating: 2020_03_04_141200_create_role_user_pivot_table

   Illuminate\Database\QueryException

I assume there is an error with my PivotTable? I'm not quite sure what I have done wrong. The code for it is below:

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateRoleUserPivotTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('role_user', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->unsignedInteger('user_id');
            $table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users');

            $table->unsignedInteger('role_id');
            $table->foreign('role_id')->references('id')->on('roles');
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('role_user');
    }
}

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Answer 2

From the comments on your question I assume that something went wrong in storing the migration in the migration table.

Run the following query on your database. Should it return 0, proceed with my answer. Should it return 1 (or even more), please ignore my answer, the error is somewhere else:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM migrations WHERE migration = '2020_03_04_141200_create_role_user_pivot_table';

To fix this, you could add the migration manually to the table:

Just add a new tuple in the table called migrations , with the filename (without .php , ergo 2020_03_04_141200_create_role_user_pivot_table ) in the migration column and a batch -number that is one higher than your highest value in the table.

Ergo: Do this:

Get the incremented batch number:

SELECT MAX(batch)+1 FROM migrations

And then insert your migration manually (replace 42 with the result of the previous query):

INSERT INTO migrations (migration, batch)
VALUES ('2020_03_04_141200_create_role_user_pivot_table', 42)
