Call php artisan migrate using Artisan

Question

Is it possible to create an Artisan call or command for

php artisan migrate

like Artisan::call('migrate);

So i can migrate missing tables to my database when connection is changed dynamically.

  Config::set('database.connections.dynamicdb', array(
        'driver'    => 'mysql', 
         'host'      => '127.0.0.1',
         'database'  =>  $database_name,
         'username'  =>  'test_user',
         'password'  =>  '123456',
         'charset'   => 'utf8mb4',
         'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
         'strict'    => false,
         'options'   => [                                
               \PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => true
            ]
       ));

  Artisan::call('migrate');

Or is there a way to create a command for it? Please suggest some solution.

Answer 1

Try this code:

\Artisan::call('migrate',
 array(
   '--path' => 'database/migrations',
   '--database' => 'dynamicdb',
   '--force' => true));

Because my default it takes /app as path and the migrations are placed in database/migrations. So this will work as it worked for me when creating new project.
