In Laravel, there appears to be a command for creating a migration, but not removing.
Create migration command:
php artisan migrate:make create_users_table
If I want to delete the migration, can I just safely delete the corresponding migrations file within the database/migrations folder?
Migrations file:
2013_05_31_220658_create_users_table

Answer
I accidentally created a migration with a bad name (command: php artisan migrate:make
). I did not run (php artisan migrate
) the migration, so I decided to remove it.
My steps:
- Manually delete the migration file under
app/database/migrations/my_migration_file_name.php
- Reset the composer autoload files:
composer dump-autoload
- Relax
If you did run the migration (php artisan migrate
), you may do this:
a) Run migrate:rollback
– it is the right way to undo the last migration (Thnx @Jakobud)
b) If migrate:rollback
does not work, do it manually (I remember bugs with migrate:rollback in previous versions):
- Manually delete the migration file under
app/database/migrations/my_migration_file_name.php
- Reset the composer autoload files:
composer dump-autoload
- Modify your database: Remove the last entry from the migrations table
