Overall Picture

Migration table

Below is my code for migrations

User Roles

<?php namespace App\Database\Migrations;

use CodeIgniter\Database\Migration;

class UserRoles extends Migration
{
    public function up()
    {
        $this->forge->addField([
            'role_id' => [
                'type' => 'INT',
                'constraint' => 11,
                'unsigned' => true,
                'auto_increment' => true
            ],
            'role' => [
                'type' => 'VARCHAR',
                'constraint' => 255
            ],
            'role_description' => [
                'type' => 'TEXT',
                'null' => true
            ],
            'created_at' => [
                'type' => 'timestamp',
                'default' => 'current_timestamp'
            ],
            'created_by' => [
                'type' => 'int',
                'constraint' => 11,
                'null' => true
            ],
            'updated_at' => [
                'type' => 'timestamp',
                'null' => true
            ],
            'updated_by' => [
                'type' => 'int',
                'constraint' => 11,
                'null' => true
            ],
            'deleted_at' => [
                'type' => 'timestamp',
                'null' => true
            ],
        ]);
        $this->forge->addKey('role_id', true);
        $this->forge->createTable('user_roles');
    }

    //--------------------------------------------------------------------

    public function down()
    {
        $this->forge->dropTable('user_roles');
    }
}

{
    public function up()
    {
        $this->db->disableForeignKeyChecks();
        $this->forge->addField([

        $this->db->enableForeignKeyChecks();
    }
}

Can Someone help me with this please

Solution

I had faced with the same issue. This is because migrate trying to create user_roles table before the users table and cannot add the foreign key because the user_roles table does not exist. I suggest you migrate the users table after the migrating the user_roles table.

You can migrate migration classes separately with the following command:

php spark migrate -g DB_NAME -n MIGRATION_CLASS_NAME

The documentation is here.
