Laravel 5.5 Unknown database type enum requested Doctrine\DBAL may not support it

When I run CMD> php artisan migrate

I got the below error

Changing columns for table "gift_cards" requires Doctrine DBAL; install "doctrine/dbal". Unknown database type enum requested, Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\MySqlPlatform may not support it

I downloaded the dependency using composer, it will download version based on my laravel version

"composer require doctrine/dbal"

the dependency added to my composer.json

"require": {
    "laravel/framework": "5.5.*",
    "doctrine/dbal": "^2.5",
}

when I run the migrate I am getting the below error.

CMD> php artisan migrate Migration table created successfully.

In AbstractPlatform.php line 423: Unknown database type enum requested Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\MySqlPlatform may not support it.

All my tables has database engine as InnoDB

Solution

  • I added the dependencies to my composer.json

    "require": { "laravel/framework": "5.5.*", "doctrine/dbal": "^2.5", }

    and run the composer install command.
