On fresh install php artisan migrate fails due to code in AppServiceProvider.php

[crazedVic]

public function boot()
    {
        Paginator::useBootstrap();

        View::share('newestPosts', Post::with('community')->latest()->take(5)->get());
        View::share('newestCommunities', Community::withCount('posts')->latest()->take(5)->get());

        PostVote::observe(PostVoteObserver::class);
    }

The View::share commands fail because the db on a fresh install is still empty. Migration can't run because this code will run first. This is what happens:

php artisan migrate

   Illuminate\Database\QueryException

  SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'reddit.posts' doesn't exist (SQL: select * from `posts` where `posts`.`deleted_at` is null order by `created_at` desc limit 5)

@crazedVic did you end up resolving this?

@Satal I think I just commented out the code when running the migrations.
