Laravel 4 migrations - class not found

Question

This question is now solved - I used the below:

And, problem solved thanks to IRC. I was told to run

php composer.phar dump-autoload

This fixes the problem for me. It's likely related to my strange Composer setup.

I've just started playing with Laravel 4 for a possible future project, having come from Laravel 3. I have started off by creating a new migration, create_blogs_table using artisan:

php artisan migrate:make create_blogs_table --table=blogs --create

This generated the basic migration file structure which I then filled out a little more:

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateBlogsTable extends Migration
{

    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('blogs', function($table)
        {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->text('description')->nullable();
            $table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::drop('blogs');
    }
}

I now try to run this migration using artisan once again:

php artisan migrate --env=local

*note I have a local database connection set up for domains with the .dev extension

Previously this would work just fine (in Laravel 3) but with Illuminate I then receive this error:

I've checked and the database/migrations/ folder is certainly being autoloaded. I have no idea what the cause for this problem may be. Having asked on IRC and googled I'm still completely clueless so hopefully somebody can help me out here.

Thanks in advance!

In Laravel 4 (illuminate) migration class do not require you to set unsigned method. You can try this.

  class CreateBlogsTable extends Migration
{

    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('blogs', function($table)
        {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->text('description')->nullable();
            $table->integer('user_id');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::drop('blogs');
    }
}

After having the chat with you, I knew two problems, one is that already mentioned above and the other problem is due to the class not been registered into composer autoload. You will have to run manually : php composer.phar dump-autoload

Just tried that and still no luck. I still get the class not found error. — Euan T, Dec 28 '12 at 12:40
had same problem, running `php composer.phar dump-autoload` worked. — Rob, Sep 26 '13 at 04:12

Artisan do the same work:

php artisan dump-autoload

Just a reminder for those who are not familiar with composer.

This is actually better than using composer, as it generates an optimized classmap – brettwhiteman May 15 '15 at 02:42
Actually this command didn't exist for me but `composer dump-autoload` solved the problem. Thanks! For the idea, at least. – IIllIIll Nov 30 '15 at 19:16
Those who search the problem, please noticed that this question is 3 years ago and the version of laravel is 4. And the software itself is keeping changing. It means, **this command does't exist in latest artisan**. Thank you. – Yarco Apr 27 '16 at 04:10

Update your composer (composer self-update), then run your composer functions.
