im_useless
to my table earlier which I do not need anymore.This is my schema (filename: 2017_02_27_120313_units.php):
public function up()
{
Schema::create('units', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('description');
$table->string('im_useless');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Now I try to remove it, so I used this code inside the down()
function:public function down()
{
Schema::dropColumn('im_useless');
}
New Schema:public function up()
{
Schema::create('units', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('description');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Now I have to rollback and then migrate again. I try to rollback only that specific migration file, by executing php artisan help migrate:rollback
I found out that there is a --path
option.So I tried to rollback that specific migration like this:
php artisan migrate:rollback --path=2017_02_27_120313_units.php
But I get Nothing to rollback
How can I drop that specific column without having to rollback any other migrations?
UPDATE:
I think I have to change the
path
like this:php artisan migrate:rollback --path=database/migrations/2017_02_27_120313_units.php
...since my php shell was opened in the project root folder?However I still get
Nothing to rollback
I also tried
php artisan migrate --path=2017_02_27_120313_units.php
and php artisan migrate --path=database/migrate/2017_02_27_120313_units.php
...and get
Nothing to migrate
UPDATE 2
I think I have messed up my migrations table, because I removed the code inside the
down()
function and the table was never deleted.
