For me, it was because i was dynamically registering Scheduled Tasks in Kernel.php via my own custom Task object by loop over Task::all(). But my 'task' db table wasn't created yet causing the error. so I commented out the Kernel.php code, ran the php artisan migrate command then uncommented my Kernel.php code. Not sure, but may be best to just do a try{ dbCode; } catch{doNothing;} in the Kernel.php code.

You need to change Schema::table to Schema::create.
