Laravel 5.6: Migration from a specific folder

Question

I am trying to use php artisan migrate --path="/database/migrations/ef to use only the migrations in that path. But I got "Nohting no migrate" and the migration files are in that direction.

I tried to adding this to boot method in AppServiceProvider, that is from this link Laravel running migrations on "app/database/migrations" folder recursively:

$mainPath = database_path('migrations');
$directories = glob($mainPath . '/*' , GLOB_ONLYDIR);
$paths = array_merge([$mainPath], $directories);

$this->loadMigrationsFrom($paths);

But it does not work either.

Are you sure things aren't already migrated? Also, you don't really need to put quotes around the path — Giovanni S, Sep 20 '18 at 17:21
I wouldn't imagine a need to modify your AppServiceProvider the way you did. Using php migrate --path= should simply work out of the box... — Giovanni S, Sep 20 '18 at 17:36
I did it, I tried with: composer update, php artisan config:cache, php artisan view:clear, php, artisan cache:clear — alfredjmg, Sep 20 '18 at 18:16

for Laravel >= 5.0, the correct commands to migrate migration files in sub directories would be:

php artisan migrate --path=/database/migrations/ef
php artisan migrate --path=/database/migrations/relations

This would work on older versions of Laravel. I believe versions below 5 – Giovanni S Sep 20 '18 at 17:22
Well sure, now that you've edited the answer this will work fine. Your previous answer before the edit was /app/database/migrations which was pre version 5 – Giovanni S Sep 20 '18 at 17:27
@Giovanni Just Change little bit like in removed app cause they changed path of database – Ashish Sep 20 '18 at 17:28

I fixed it. (Not have "/" on first path)

I tried running the migrate creation command to find the error.

php artisan make: migration create_users_table --path=/path/to/your/migration/directory

Then composer dump. Finally, I think the correct command to run in the sub folder is:

php artisan migrate --path=database/migrations/subfolder

if you need to migrate spicific folder called User use
php artisan migrate --path=/database/migrations/User

if you need to migrate all folders in migrations folder use
php artisan migrate --path=/database/migrations/*
