Deleted a model manually, php artisan migrate gives and error

Question

So I just started playing around with Laravel 5.1. I created a model with migration named "teachers". Then I manually deleted the model file which was Teachers.php which contained the Teachers class. Now when I try to roll back I get the following error:

[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]  
  Class 'CreateTeachersTable' not found

I tried composer dump-autoload and php artisan migrate:refresh and php artisan migrate:reset but it keeps on giving above error. I just want to start afresh. How to reset everything?

Answer 1

Ok. So I found the solution. So if you accidentally delete any model file or migrations file without using php artisan migrate:rollback the above command and any migrate command will cause problems. SO what you need to do is, delete all the tables manually from the database. I was using sqlite database and I deleted migrations, users, questions, teachers, password_resets all the tables that were generated by migrate command. Then I ran composer dumpautoload. Then I ran php artisan migrate command again after making changes to the files and everything was back to normal. So basically deleting migrations table solves the issue.
