Did you create the sqlite file? database/database.sqlite is the default I believe. Can you also paste your config here?

When i try to migrate my database with SQLite i get the following error:
[InvalidArgumentException]
Database (homestead) does not exist.
I have looked into the database.php file in the config folder and manually switching the database type to SQLite and still get the same error.

I did create the database.sqlite file and the config is:

Your default database connection is mysql - you should change that!
@tykus_ikus I have tried changing to sqlite but i still get the same error.
What's in your .env file?
APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_KEY=base64:18dlaYs5QZa37Hro1YbxvLvs889OzWdxC6CZYDJo/fw=
APP_URL=http://localhost
DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=homestead
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret
CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file
QUEUE_DRIVER=sync
REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
REDIS_PORT=6379
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
OK, so there's your problem; delete this line
DB_DATABASE=homestead
or change your database.php config:
'database' => database_path('database.sqlite'),
@tykus_ikus It worked, thank you for the help.
