Error Running yii migrate after cloning

Question

I'm using the basic template for Yii2. I created the project and uploaded it to github so other devs can clone and start contributing.

After cloning and running composer install, I'm getting this error when I try to run yii migrate.

λ php yii migrate
Yii Migration Tool (based on Yii v2.0.8)

Total 1 new migration to be applied:
        m160704_071418_user_table

Apply the above migration? (yes|no) [no]:yes
*** applying m160704_071418_user_table
PHP Fatal Error 'yii\base\ErrorException' with message 'Class 'm160704_071418_user_table' not found'

in C:\wamp\www\miespacio\vendor\yiisoft\yii2\console\controllers\MigrateController.php:170

Stack trace:
#0 [internal function]: yii\base\ErrorHandler->handleFatalError()
#1 {main}

My question is: Is there any steps I'm missing to make this work? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Potentially useful information: I can create new migrations and run them just fine after cloning. The problem is running existing migrations.

Have you changed the names of your files? The file name and class name must be identical for it to work. — Jørgen, Jul 04 '16 at 08:55
just try to reinstall project from composer again. And do not change migrations names. — Maksym Semenykhin, Jul 04 '16 at 11:19

You should create migration by yii migrate/create <migration-name> command. And don't change file name or class name of migrations.

Example: create migration add test table

yii migrate/create create_test_table

After run that command, you will have a php file in @app/migrations

Filename: m160704_110735_create_test_table.php

Code generator:

<?php

use yii\db\Migration;

/**
 * Handles the creation for table `test_table`.
 */
class m160704_110735_create_test_table extends Migration
{
    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function up()
    {
        $this->createTable('test_table', [
            'id' => $this->primaryKey(),
        ]);
    }

    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function down()
    {
        $this->dropTable('test_table');
    }
}

Remember: don't change filename or class name.

Goodluck and have fun!

This answer prompted me the check the class name and sure enough it differed from the name of the file. I updated the class name to match the file name and I'm back in business. Thank you all. — pollos, Jul 04 '16 at 21:28
