  Exception trace:

  1   Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\AbstractPlatform::getDoctrineTypeMapping("enum")
      E:\wwwroot\object\vendor\doctrine\dbal\lib\Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\MySqlSchemaManager.php:134

  2   Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\MySqlSchemaManager::_getPortableTableColumnDefinition()
      E:\wwwroot\object\vendor\doctrine\dbal\lib\Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\AbstractSchemaManager.php:820

  Please use the argument -v to see more details.


2. View the migration file, enum does not exist in the updated field type


    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('theme_installation_version_preset', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->string('theme_store_theme_version_semantic', 64)->comment('主题商店的主题版本的语义化')->change();
        });
    }


3. The reason for the final determination may be that in the table involved in this migration file, the type of other fields is enum. as shown in Figure 2

最后确定原因,可能在于此迁移文件所涉及的表中,其他字段的类型为 enum
Figure 2

4. Reference:https://www.shuijingwanwq.com/2022/06/02/6483/, use db::statement. The migration was successful. as shown in Figure 3

参考:https://www.shuijingwanwq.com/2022/06/02/6483/ ,使用 DB::statement。执行迁移成功
Figure 3

    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        $fullTableName = DB::connection()->getTablePrefix() . 'theme_installation_version_preset';
        DB::statement("ALTER TABLE $fullTableName modify theme_store_theme_version_semantic varchar(64) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL COMMENT '主题商店的主题版本的语义化'");
    }
