Undefined table: 7 ERROR: relation "expenses" does not exist

Question

Since i am a spanish speaker, i wrote the controllers and models of income and expense in spanish; while all the rest were on english.. I renamed and changed manually Routes, Controllers, Migrations and even Models. And when i run php artisan migrate:reset this is my error.

Undefined table: 7 ERROR: relation "expenses" does not exist (SQL: alter table "expenses" drop column "location_id")**

I use psgql and laravel 5.3

This is my code:

    <?php

    namespace App;

    use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

    class Expense extends Model
    {

        protected $fillable = ['id', 'description', 'quantity'];


        public function locations()
        {

            return $this->hasMany('App\Location');

        }
        public function icons()
        {

            return $this->hasMany('App\Icon');
        }
        public function types()
        {

            return $this->hasMany('App\Type');
        }
        public function stores()
        {

            return $this->hasMany('App\Store');
        }

    }

Migration:

    <?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateExpensesTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('expenses', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->float('quantity');
            $table->string('description');
            $table->integer('location_id')->unsigned();
            $table->integer('icon_id')->unsigned();
            $table->integer('type_id')->unsigned();
            $table->integer('store_id')->unsigned();
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

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

Location Migration:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateLocationsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('locations', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('address');
            $table->float('lat');
            $table->float('long');
            $table->integer('store_id')->unsigned();
            $table->timestamps();

            $table->foreign('store_id')->references('id')->on('stores')->onDelete('cascade');
        });

        Schema::table('expenses', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->foreign('location_id')->references('id')->on('locations')->onDelete('cascade');
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::table('expenses', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->dropColumn('location_id');
        });

        Schema::dropIfExists('locations');
    }
}

Model:

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Location extends Model
{

    protected $fillable = ['id', 'address', 'lat', 'long'];


    public function expenses()
    {

        return $this->belongsTo('App\Expense');
    }

    public function stores()
    {

        return $this->hasOne('App\Store');
    }
}

Hope you can help me.

Answer 1

When it says

relation "expenses" does not exist

It usually happens when your expenses table must have been dropped before migration:reset rolled back CreateLocationsTable.

Check the order of execution of your migrations.

As you were trying to reset, to fix it now, open your database, drop all tables manually and execute migrate again.

Answer 2

Schema::table('expenses', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->foreign('location_id')->references('id')->on('locations')->onDelete('cascade');
        });

change this to

Schema::alter('expenses', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->foreign('location_id')->references('id')->on('locations')->onDelete('cascade');
        });
