php artisan migrate nothing to migrate error

Question

I am trying to install this package on my server after installing everything when I try to migrate with php artisan migrate it tells me there is nothing to migrate. Also the migration table is not there. here is what I did:

php composer.phar require igaster/laravel_cities
change in providers app.php

Igaster\LaravelCities\GeoServiceProvider::class,

Ran this script

mkdir storage/geo
cd storage/geo
wget http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/allCountries.zip && unzip allCountries.zip && rm allCountries.zip
wget http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/hierarchy.zip && unzip hierarchy.zip && rm hierarchy.zip

Now when I run php artisan migrate it tells me there is nothing to migrate

I am not sure if this is because I have php composer.phar instead of composer?

@Hina, You should run `composer dump-autoload` and then give `php artisan migrate:refresh` a try. This will remove all current migrations and re migrate them — Option, Oct 05 '17 at 11:27
@Option the migrate:refresh commands creates all tables except this one, its also not included in the migrations table — , Oct 05 '17 at 11:31
@Hina `php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Igaster\LaravelCities\GeoServiceProvider"` — rbaskam, Oct 05 '17 at 11:46

php composer.phar is identical to composer so thats not the issue.

If migration file not showing you likely need to run

php artisan vendor:publish

Try running:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Igaster\LaravelCities\GeoServiceProvider"

And then run the migration

php artisan migrate

I miss to add "--" right before provider. Thanks @rbaskam for edit suggestion. Try now – aaron0207 Oct 05 '17 at 12:02
If it still failling you can publish files "manually" , just copy the files inside `vendor/igaster/laravel_cities/src/migrations` to your migrations folder – aaron0207 Oct 05 '17 at 12:04

Copy vendor/igaster/laravel_cities/src/migrations folder contents to database\migrations folder, then run php artisan migrate. Sometimes publishing vendor resources doesn't work for me too and I dive into the source of the package then to make them work.
