Laravel 4.2 says my application is in production. How do I turn this off?

Question

I have a fresh install of Laravel. When running php artisan migrate:refresh I get a message saying Application In Production! Do you really wish to run this command?'

I know this is an update in 4.2, however I can't figure out how to turn it off.

I found in the source that it comes from Illuminate\Console\ConfirmableTrait and runs if this if test passes : if ($this->getLaravel()->environment() == 'production')

I'm not sure why it thinks I'm in production. I never setup any environments. This is the default environment detection, which I'm still currently using.

$env = $app->detectEnvironment(array(      'local' => array('homestead')  )); 

Also, if I set a production environment to a hostname that isn't my machine, I still have the same problem.

Answer 1

Just specify a machine name for the host that matches a given environment, then laravel will automatically detect the environment (default is production), for example:

$env = $app->detectEnvironment(array(      //'local' => array('homestead'),      'local' => array('*.dev', gethostname()),     'production' => array('*.com', '*.net', 'www.somedomain.com') )); 

Read the documentation and this answer as well.

Answer 2

Setting your environment to something other than production is The Right Way. See the accepted answer.

But, if you're looking for A Quick Fix you can use (in UNIXoid environments):

yes | php artisan migrate:refresh 

All this does is send a stream of "y" to the program, which acts like you pressed "y" when prompted.

I find this to be a little better than --force, as not all the artisan commands support force.
