[Beginner question] Plugin migrations do not run

[kff5000]

Hi, I just started with Winter - and I'm not really a developer - but know, that winter is better then WP ;-) . So bear with me ;-)

I installed Winter via composer. Then artisan winter:install. Everything fine.

Then I did composer require winter/wn-redirect-plugin to install your redirect plugin. It appears in the backend menu. And I can see its configuration in the system settings.

But when I click it on it from the menu, I get a server error telling me that table winter_redirect_categories doesn't exist.

So I ran php artisan winter:up . But for Winter.Redirect it tells me: - nothing to update

Also php artisan plugin:refresh Winter.Redirect doesn't help

And php artisan plugin:list doesn't show Winter.Redirect at all.

I'm surely missing something(?)

Thanks in advance,
Chris

@kff5000 are you able to confirm that the table doesn't exist in your database?

If you go to the Plugins & Updates area in the Settings, does it show the plugin as available and enabled?

@kff5000 did your /plugin/winter/redirect/updates/version.yaml file contains the v prefix for version number and you're running winter 1.1.8?
If so, you need to remove them.

See:

• Fix version numbers wn-redirect-plugin#3
• fixes version.yaml to actually run migrations wn-redirect-plugin#4

Nice spot @damsfx, although I just tried it with Winter 1.1.8 and it worked myself. Might be because I'm using SQLite, which might not be so strict about the data types going in.

removed the 'v's from version.yaml - problem solved 💯

Thank you both for the incredibly fast support

I thought the problem was with the new VersionManager of Winter 1.2 that was not backport to 1.1.8?

I have 1.1.8 installed

@kff5000 After installing the plugin, run the command in the console:

php artisan winter:up
