即使遵循迁移过程，我也无法从laravel向表中添加新列？

Question

I am following all the steps for adding new column votes to the user table from laravel, still there isn't in the database? Please tell me where is my mistake? Firstly php artisan make:migration add_votes_to_users_table --table=users

public function up()
{
    Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
         $table->integer('votes');
    });
}

/**
 * Reverse the migrations.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function down()
{
    Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->dropColumn('votes');
    });
}
php artisan migrate

enter image description here

Error from cmd- In Connection.php line 647:

SQLSTATE[42S01] And In Connection.php line 449:

SQLSTATE[42S01]: Base table or view already exists: 1050 Table 'users' already exists

I am suspecting that the reason you are getting this errors can come from 2 sides.

1) you created users table yourself without run any migration

2) a migration was interrupted.

If the above does not work try:

php artisan migrate:reset

to rollback all your changes or if you want to move back 1 step at a time you can try:

php artisan migrate:rollback --step=1

Last if you are sure you can start over and you are ok with that you can run:

php artisan migrate:fresh

This will drop all the tables (check the database just to be sure as well and drop yourself any remaining even though i don't think anything will be left, never happened to me) and then run

php artisan migrate 

all over again
