Cannot run `php artisan migrate` on fresh install due to db access in MailConfigServiceProvider.php

[abackstrom]

I'm attempting to setup a local dev environment but the setup steps no longer work due to database access in MailConfigServiceProvider.php:

https://github.com/aaronpk/Meetable/blob/3b6a52c22a66fb790f7e698de28d8b63ddbe23d7/app/Providers/MailConfigServiceProvider.php#L26-L29

The provider attempts to access the database before it's set up, causing every artisan invocation to fail, including during composer install.

➜ luna Meetable git:(main =) php82 artisan

If we tell app/Exceptions/Handler.php to throw the original exception rather than raise an HttpException, we get:

    Edit the `.env` file and use the correct database name in the `DB_DATABASE` key.

oh shoot, let me take a look...

[aaronpk]

Did you create the database first and add the config to .env? I just tried a fresh install and the migrate command seems to be working, although I get an error later on in the migrations.

What you found is the call to Setting::value which retrieves a setting from the database, however that function first checks if the settings table exists with a call to Schema::hasTable, and that function expects the database config to exist and be correct, even if the database table hasn't been created yet.

I just pushed a change that stops clobbering the exception when running in the console, so you should see the actual error message from the database now.

SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database 'laravel' means the database hasn't been created yet. I realized that step was not explicitly in the readme, so I also added that.
