Artisan::call('migrate') not working after upgrading Laravel to 4.2

[ghost]

Wen I call this controller method:

public function ArtMigr(){
try {
Artisan::call('migrate');
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e;
}

}

I'm getting this error:

Migration files are:

increments('id'); $table->string('username'); $table->string('email'); $table->string('password'); $table->integer('admin')->default(0); $table->integer('active')->default(1); $table->timestamps(); }); } /** * Reverse the migrations. * * @return void */ public function down() { Schema::drop('users'); } ``` } and increments('id'); $table->timestamps(); }); } /** * Reverse the migrations. * * @return void */ public function down() { Schema::drop('settings'); } ``` }

STDIN and STDOUT are available automatically when you run your app in command line. It seems that you call Artisan::call from an HTTP apache process and these variables will not be predefined.

To solve this problem, add this line into you controller, before calling Artisan::call

define('STDIN',fopen("php://stdin","r"));

It might be good idea that Laravel 4.2 checks it automatically

[zaalbarxx]

I can confirm that this is not working correctly in Laravel 4.2. I've had no issues at all in earlier versions, but 4.2 seems to struggle in that case.

It most likely a change from symfony/console. However I would highly recommend to avoid using Artisan::call() directly from a web interface. It not hard to create something like https://github.com/orchestral/publisher/blob/master/src/Publisher/MigrateManager.php to make this doable.

[alexgalletti]

If you must migrate from a web interface you can do Artisan::call('migrate', array('--force' => true));. Note that this will obviously ignore the migration confirmation due to the --force flag.

@crynobone Getting RuntimeException Aborted in vendor/symfony/console/Symfony/Component/Console/Helper/QuestionHelper.php line 146 now when defining STDIN.

[crynobone]

@bart so? Been telling you not to use the hack. STDIN are defined for console request.
