Seeding database with path from code?

问题

I've been using Laravel's migrations with the path parameter like so:

Artisan::call('migrate', array('--path' => 'path/to/my/Migrations'));

Is there anyway I can run the seed command in the same way? I have a number of seed files I want to use but I don't want to run them all at the same time.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

回答1:

Instead of --path you can set --class with namespace to Seeder class.

Artisan::call('db:seed', [
    '--class' => 'Namespace\Seeds\DatabaseSeeder'
]);

This work on Laravel 5.1

Seeding only

Artisan::call('db:seed');

Re-run all migration under specified path & run seeds as well

Artisan::call('migrate:refresh', array('--path' => 'path/to/my/Migrations', '--seed'));

To refresh the migrations and seed the database, this worked for me:

// Roll back all migrations and migrate them again
Artisan::call('migrate:refresh');
// Fill tables with seeds
Artisan::call('db:seed');

I had lots of seeds and the server was slow. In this case it helps to extend the maximum execution time.

// Extend maximum execution time to 3 minutes
set_time_limit(180);
Artisan::call('migrate:refresh');
Artisan::call('db:seed');
// Back to the default
set_time_limit(30);
