The error
Error
SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'status' in 'field list'
Why it happens
The query uses a column the table doesn't have. Usually a migration that adds it was not run on this database, the name has a typo, or Eloquent is adding created_at / updated_at to a table without them.
How to fix it
- Run pending migrations:
php artisan migrate(check withmigrate:status). - Compare the column name in your code with the table.
- If the table has no timestamps, add
public $timestamps = false;to the model.
php artisan migrate:status
