Issue with tenant:migrate:all Command in Laravel Multi-Tenant Application

[sasindu5309]

Hello,

I am currently working on a Laravel multi-tenant application and encountered an issue when trying to use the following Artisan command:

php artisan tenant:migrate:all [database-prefix] [--path=]

While attempting to run this command, I received an error. Below are the parameters I used:

• database-prefix: [prefix]
• --path (optional): [path to the migration schemas]

Could you please provide insight into the possible causes for this error or guide me on how to correctly use this command? Specifically, I would like to know if there are any common issues related to the database-prefix or --path parameter that might result in this error, and if there are any configuration or environment settings I should verify.

Thank you for your assistance.

To resolve the issue with the php artisan tenant:migrate:all command in your Laravel multi-tenant application, follow these steps:

1. Ensure PostgreSQL is being used

The Easy2Dev Laravel Tenant Migrate package is primarily designed for PostgreSQL databases. Double-check that you are using PostgreSQL for your tenant databases.

2. Database Prefix

The database prefix is the common part of the names of all tenant databases. For example, if your tenant databases are named like:

• tenant_db1
• tenant_abc2
• tenant_xyz

The prefix in this case is tenant_. To migrate all tenant databases that share this prefix, use the following command:

php artisan tenant:migrate:all tenant_

This command applies migrations to all databases starting with the prefix tenant_ (like tenant_db1, tenant_abc2, tenant_xyz).

3. Check the Migration Path

By default, the migration files should be located in the /database/migrations/tenant directory. If you want to use a different folder inside the database directory, you can specify it using the --path option.

For example, if your custom migrations are located in database/migrations/custom_folder, use the following command:

php artisan tenant:migrate:all tenant_ --path=database/migrations/custom_folder

Common Issues to Check

Ensure the database prefix is correct and matches the tenant database names.
Confirm the path to the migration files is correct, either using the default /database/migrations/tenant or the path you specify with the --path= option.
By verifying these key points, the tenant:migrate:all command should work correctly for migrating all tenant databases that share a common prefix.

Thank You

Thank you for using the Easy2Dev Laravel Tenant Migrate package to simplify your multi-tenant database management!
