php artisan error after repo clone SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found:

Question

I made a Laravel project with Jetstream and uploaded it to Github. After my colleague and I tried to execute composer install, we received the following error:

> Illuminate\Foundation\ComposerScripts::postAutoloadDump
> @php artisan package:discover --ansi

   Illuminate\Database\QueryException 

  SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'test.users' doesn't exist (SQL: select * from `users` limit 1)

    738▕         // If an exception occurs when attempting to run a query, we'll format the error
    739▕         // message to include the bindings with SQL, which will make this exception a

Script @php artisan package:discover --ansi handling the post-autoload-dump event returned with error code 1

We tried again without the scripts in composer.json, went well, but after each and every artisan-command we try, we get the following exception:

In Connection.php line 742:

This also happens when we try to execute php artisan migrate, the command which should solve this error.

So, what can we try now?

If you're getting this error by running every "php artisan" command, then you might query database during the bootstrapping process and because of the empty database, this error keeps throwing. you might need to check all places you have queried the database for users (maybe in providers)
