Laravel 5 Homestead Multiple Databases - laravel-5

Question

I have two separate Laravel Homestead projects called "Laravel" and "authapp". I would like each of these projects to have their own database.
I have set up my Homestead.yaml file to create one database for each project. And it does just that. However, when I am in my "authapp" project and run the migrate command, it insists on writing to the database specified for the "Laravel" project (the "homestead" database).
Here is my Homestead.yaml file:
provider: virtualbox
authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
keys:
- ~/.ssh/id_rsa
folders:
- map: ~/Code/Laravel
to: /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel
- map: ~/Code/authapp
to: /home/vagrant/Code/authapp
sites:
- map: homestead.app
to: /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/public
- map: authapp.app
to: /home/vagrant/Code/authapp/public
databases:
- homestead
- authapp
And my database.php file for the "Laravel" project.
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'homestead'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'homestead'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'secret'),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => true,
'engine' => null,
],
And my database.php file for the "authapp" project.
'mysql' => [
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'authapp'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'homestead'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'secret'),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
'strict' => true,
'engine' => null,
],
I have run vagrant provision a bunch of times and that doesn't do the trick.

Check that the database authapp exist in MySQL. Also check your .env file, in the root of the directory, to make sure that DB_DATABASE has not accidentally been set.
Whenever you use env('VARIABLE_NAME', 'default value') the VARIABLE_NAME set in the .env file will always override the string value passed in as the second parameter to the env() function.
