How to run a laravel package's migrations
June 2014.
Problem
Let's say you fetched a laravel package using
composer
and whatever, and you want to run its migration files (to have it create its tables for instance).
# php artisan migrate
Nothing to migrate.
Hum, laravel won't find anything to migrate.
Solution
The trick is to give
artisan
the path containing the migration files:
# php artisan migrate --path=vendor/vendorname/package-name/src/migrations
