Laravel 5.5 Unknown database type enum requested Doctrine\DBAL may not support it

Question

When I run CMD> php artisan migrate

I got the below error

Changing columns for table "gift_cards" requires Doctrine DBAL; install "doctrine/dbal". Unknown database type enum requested, Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\MySqlPlatform may not support it

I downloaded the dependency using composer, it will download version based on my laravel version

"composer require doctrine/dbal"

the dependency added to my composer.json

"require": {
    "laravel/framework": "5.5.*",
    "doctrine/dbal": "^2.5",
}

when I run the migrate I am getting the below error.

CMD> php artisan migrate Migration table created successfully.

In AbstractPlatform.php line 423: Unknown database type enum requested Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\MySqlPlatform may not support it.

All my tables has database engine as InnoDB

What about reading the error messages? They clearly state that Doctrine's enum type is not supported by MySQL. Have a look at https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/latest/cookbook/mysql-enums.html for alternatives — Nico Haase, Apr 05 '19 at 06:37

I added the dependencies to my composer.json

"require": { "laravel/framework": "5.5.*", "doctrine/dbal": "^2.5", }

and run the composer install command.
