For a short term fix, putting this before you run the ask function should get it to run:

// @see https://github.com/doctrine/dbal/issues/3161#issuecomment-542814085
DB::connection()->getDoctrineSchemaManager()->getDatabasePlatform()->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('enum', 'string');

The GitHub issue I found the answer in has some technical info.

Thanks @Rignesh-EWW , although this ticket does appear dead as I already commented that same solution quite a while ago with no response 😄
