Im trying to run php artisan migrate but i keep getting the following error:
i have tried to roll back the tables and migrate them again but it just gives me the same error
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1215 Cannot add foreign key constraint (SQL: alter table `comments` add constraint `comments_post_id_foreign` foreign key (`post_id`) references `posts` (`id`) on delete cascade)
Here is my create_comments_table:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreateCommentsTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('comments', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->mediumText('body');
$table->string('email');
$table->string('name');
$table->boolean('approved');
$table->integer('post_id')->unsigned();
$table->timestamps();
});
Schema::table('comments', function ($table) {
$table->foreign('post_id')->references('id')->on('posts')->onDelete('cascade');
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropforeign(['post_id']);
Schema::dropIfExists('comments');
}
}
Here is my create_posts_table:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreatePostsTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('title');
$table->mediumText('body');
$table->string('name');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
}
}
And my migration tables are being created in the following order:
create users table
create passwords
create failed jobs
create posts
create comments
How can i fix this?
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreateCommentsTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('comments', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->mediumText('body');
$table->string('email');
$table->string('name');
$table->boolean('approved');
$table->integer('post_id')->unsigned();
$table->timestamps();
$table->foreign('post_id')->references('id')->on('posts')->onDelete('cascade');
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('comments');
}
}
