Original bug found here: https://github.com/illuminate/database/issues/111 - Moved to his repo as per Taylor. Here's the original text:
I spoke with Machuga in IRC - It was suggested I create an issue.
Error after first migration: SQLSTATE[42S01]: Base table or view already exists: 1050 Table 'up_migrations' already exists
$ php artisan migrate:make create_users_table --table=users --create
$ php artisan migrate
$ php artisan migrate:refresh
SQLSTATE[42S01]: Base table or view already exists: 1050 Table 'up_migrations' already exists
I tracked this down to this file: Illuminate\Database\MigrationsDatabaseMigrationRepository::repositoryExists()
and specifically within that, the call to return $schema->hasTable($this->table);
here
The $this->table variable passed to hasTable() does not include the table prefix. Illuminate\Database\Schema\MySqlBuilder::hasTable($table)
does not check for prefix either.
Unfortunately I'm not yet familiar with the code/convention to know where you'd prefer to look up the prefix. (Not sure what class should have that "knowledge")
OK, Thanks. We'll get it fixed.
Fixed.
I麓m having this very same issue and I just downloaded the framework from the site.
I wonder if the fix was commited to the site version.
