migrations-generator Unknown database type "point" requested

I have a column called "coordinates" and it has the type "point". The library is crashing

[Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException] Unknown database type point requested, Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\MySQL57Platf orm may not support it.

Same problem, @aconital have you managed to solve the issue?

@aconital I've solved the issue using laravel grimzy/laravel-mysql-spatial:^1.0 package. For Laravel 5.5 just use: composer require grimzy/laravel-mysql-spatial:^1.0 And regenerate migration, good to go

@keremcankaya0 thanks will try

@aconital ah one last thing after you require the package and create the migrations, you'll see that the package is no longer throwing exception however still not using the correct field in the migration file. Just manually change that to according to your needs(poing, geometry etc) and try migration refresh, thats all

For Laravel 5.7 and postgresql: composer require phaza/laravel-postgis
