Database gets stuck in migration with seeder on production with --force in Laravel 5

Question

Database gets stuck in migration with seeder on production with --force in Laravel. Same effect I have on Laravel Homestead and EC2 AWS running Amazone linux. No messages in

Answer 1

I had same issue running php artisan migrate and nothing happens, stays stuck. --force or verbose wouldn't help.

The problem I had is the DB_PORT in .env was not set correctly.

Answer 2

Try including the -vvv flag in your migration command, this will increase the verbosity of any messages, which might uncover the problem.

--verbose (-v|vv|vvv) Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug

$ php artisan migrate --force

As for the problem itself, try including the --force flag in your db:seed call, as you have included it in the migration.

Artisan::call('db:seed', ['--class' => 'ProductsSeeder', '--force' => true,]);
