Adding column using make migration command error

Question

I'm trying to add an icon_path column to an existing table called tbl_device
by using php artisan make:migration add_icon_path_to_tbl_device_table --table=tbl_device

and after running php artisan migrate, it gives me this error.

PHP Fatal error:  Cannot declare class CreateFailedJobsTable, because the name is already in use in ...path\database\migrations\<date>_create_failed_jobs_table.php    
Cannot declare class CreateFailedJobsTable, because the name is already in use

I've also tried manually adding the icon_path column to the create_tbl_device_table.php migration and after running php artisan migrate it says Nothing to migrate.

I think I followed all the instructions.. any idea where I went wrong?

Answer 1

Call artisan migrate command only for your specific migration using:

php artisan migrate --path=/database/migrations/my_migrations

And see if it works.
