SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row in Laravel9

I have an integrity constraint violation when I run the php artisan db:seed command in Laravel 9.

Error

PDOException::(“SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (hunger-db.restaurants, CONSTRAINT restaurants_user_id_foreign FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users (id) ON DELETE CASCADE)”)

Answer

I see some things to change here

setup_restaurants_table

I don’t see with good eyes user_id with default 1, maybe is better to define the value when restaurant is created or manually assign it to user 1.

Schema::create('restaurants', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        ...
        $table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained()->onDelete('CASCADE');
});

After DB changes run php artisan migrate:fresh

User.php

Should change relation to hasMany Restaurants

public function restaurants()
{
    return $this->hasMany(Restaurant::class);
}

Seeding

Also ensure your DB seeding is correct, I mean creating user first and then restaurant, set user_id with an existing value.

Maybe creating a restaurant like this:

$user = User::factory()
            ->hasRestaurants(3)
            ->create();

If any factory change run php artisan db:seed
