Introduction

In modern PHP frameworks such as Symfony and Laravel, migrations usually have up and down methods. In up method of migration definition you had to write code which is called only on running migration forward and in down — the code which is called only on rolling migration back. It is standard practice to make database migrations irreversible. Migrations should be backward compatible and only go forward.

In Laravel, a missing or empty down method does not prevent rollback migration on execution of php artisan migrate:rollback CLI command. The state of the database will not change, but the migration will be removed from the registry of applied migrations, and the next execution of php artisan migrate will call the up method again. To prevent this behavior, all migrations should have down method that will throw an Exception, nothing more.

PHP DB Migration Validator checks whether all migration files meet this requirement. You can add it to the server's git hooks to prevent migration rollback, or add validation step to CI.

Installation

Pull in the package through Composer.

php composer require antonkomarev/php-db-migration-validator

Usage

Validate migrations are irreversible

Validate file

php vendor/bin/php-db-migration-validator --rule=irreversible migrations/file.php

CI automation

Automating the validation of all contributions to the repository as part of the Continuous Integration is one of the possible ways to use this tool.
