php artisan migrate:make create_mytable fails: "migrate:make" is not defined

Question

When running the following command at the root of my Laravel 5 application,

php artisan migrate:make create_mytable

I get the following error:

[InvalidArgumentException]              
Command "migrate:make" is not defined.  
Did you mean one of these?              
migrate:reset                       
migrate:refresh                     
migrate:status                      
migrate:rollback                    
migrate:install                     
migrate   

Is there a new way to start migrations in Laravel 5?

Answer 1

The syntax has changed to php artisan make:migration.

Here are the available make commands.

make:auth                    Create auth classes for the application
make:console                 Create a new Artisan command
make:controller              Create a new resource controller class
make:filter                  Create a new route filter class
make:migration               Create a new migration file
make:provider                Create a new service provider class
make:request                 Create a new form request class

You can see a full list of commands by running php artisan list

You might also be ineterested in the Laravel Generators package.

To use it with Laravel 5, you'll need to require "way/generators": "~3.0"

It gives you the following additional commands:

generate:controller          Generate a controller
generate:migration           Generate a new migration
generate:model               Generate a model
generate:pivot               Generate a pivot table
generate:publish-templates   Copy generator templates for user modification
generate:resource            Generate a new resource
generate:scaffold            Scaffold a new resource (with boilerplate)
generate:seed                Generate a database table seeder
generate:view                Generate a view
