Migration doesn't automatically create schema?

Question

Is anybody have problems with creating database in Laravel 4.1? Previous version was normal, but in 4.1 i create new database with

php artisan migrate:make create_users_table --create --table=users

and laravel don't put timestamps and increments automatically in migration.

Same issue. If you go into the Users model and put public $timestamps = true; that may auto add the timestamps — elliotanderson

Well, it didn't create anything for me, and i find out that i was writing wrong syntax. The right way is to write --create=tablename and that worked for me — Sasa Fister

So the better way to create tables is using Way/Generator tools. — Sasa Fister

The syntax for creating a migration file has slightly changed in Laravel 4.1.

Laravel 4.1

php artisan migrate:make create_users_table --create=users

Laravel 4.0

php artisan migrate:make create_users_table --table=users --create

See the Creating Migrations section in the Laravel documentation and make sure to select 4.1 in the top.

I just created a Laravel 4.1 project, and I used the command you show as 4.0 sytnax (ie. --table=users --create) and it worked just fine.
