Failure running migration (php artisan queue:table)

[techieshark]

I'm trying to switch from QUEUE_CONNECTION=async to QUEUE_CONNECTION=database, following instructions under "Message Sending & Queues" header on configuration & setup page.

I encounter an error at this step:

To use the database driver, you must first set the QUEUE_CONNECTION to database in your .env file. You also need to run the following commands, which will create a new jobs table in your database, which that will be used to manage the queue.

php artisan queue:table

See below the error:

cd ~/path/to/sendportal
php artisan queue:table

   ErrorException

  file_put_contents(/Users/me/path/to/sendportal/database/migrations/2020_06_16_211244_create_jobs_table.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

The problem appears to be that the database/migrations directory doesn't exist. Running mkdir database/migrations and re-running command seems to fix this for me:

$ mkdir database/migrations
$ php artisan queue:table
Migration created successfully!

This has been fixed in the latest release
