For some reason whenever I run any php artisan
command I get an error saying one of my tables doesn't exist. This is true, I'm starting on a new database. What I can't figure out is why on earth artisan needs to use this table? The error that shows up is:
[Illuminate\Database\QueryException]
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table
'happylister.categories' doesn't exist (SQL: select *
from `categories` order by `name` asc)
[PDOException]
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table
'happylister.categories' doesn't exist
I just can't figure out for the life of me where that query is coming from - even just using php artisan
generates this error. I first noticed this when I tried to run php artisan migrate
to set up the tables, which of course failed. Then I noticed ALL php artisan
commands fail.
So my question is: why would php artisan
need a table specific to my app, given that normally you should be able to use php artisan
on a clean database to set it up?
