Laravel db migration - renameColumn error - Unknown database type enum requested

DB::getDoctrineSchemaManager()
    ->getDatabasePlatform()
    ->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('enum', 'string');

This works for me on Laravel 5.1

Laravel's documentation says that:

Note: Renaming enum column types is not supported.

Here: https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/1186

You can find some workarounds about this issue. And since you said that this column is not enum, take a look at @upngo's comment:

"...The issue is renaming ANY column on a table that has an enum."

Also I found this article that focuses on this issue and suggest an option that might help you.
