Error Code 1215. Cannot add foreign key constraint - mysql

Creating a new database here for school and having difficulty in understanding what's wrong here.
For example, I want to create this table (automated SQL output):
-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `jobsearch`.`Employer`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `jobsearch`.`Employer`
(
`EmployerID` SMALLINT(5) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`IndustryID` SMALLINT(5) NOT NULL,
`Address` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`City` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`State` CHAR(2) NOT NULL,
`Zip` VARCHAR(5) NOT NULL,
`Phone` VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`EmployerID`, `IndustryID`),
INDEX `fk_Employer_Industry1_idx` (`IndustryID` ASC),
CONSTRAINT `fk_Employer_Industry1`
FOREIGN KEY (`IndustryID`) REFERENCES `job search`.`Industry` (`IndustryID`)
ON DELETE NO ACTION
ON UPDATE NO ACTION)
ENGINE = InnoDB;
I have this table that the foreign should be referencing (This table was created without any issue):
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `jobsearch`.`Industry`
(
`IndustryID` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`IndustryName` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`Region` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`IndustryID`))
ENGINE = InnoDB;

The datatype for the referencing column must match exactly that of the referenced column. You've defined `Industry.IndustryID as
`IndustryID` INT ...
and Employer.IndustryID as
`IndustryID` SMALLINT(5) ...
Change Employer.IndustryID to INT and you should be shiny.

Your Foreign Key _ManageID in the Warehouse table is not a primary key in another table, that's why you're running into an error. Once you fix that, you should be ok, but I haven't verified it.
For those that have this issue but everything looks to be perfectly fine. What worked for me is dropping all tables and running the forward engineer script again.

I have searched related posts here, but i couldn't find where is my error.
Main issue I believe is a missing comma before CONSTRAINT courseID
But you missed several closing braces as well.

I have been able to create the tables without any issue, after correcting the syntax errors. Just make sure you are running the scripts in correct order. i.e.
Table SLIOP.schedule should be created last since it is referencing
SLIOP.academic_staff and SLIOP.course

Mysql error: 1215 Cannot add foreign key constraint[ foreign keys same type, innodb ]

I need a fresh pair of eyes to see what exactly I am doing wrong here.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `spring_normalize`.`users` (

From other people who has the same problem:
Is Db InnoDB? Yes
Are all tables InnoDB ? Yes
Is unique index present on referencing table ? Yes
Are referenced and referencing column exactly of the same type ? Yes
Question what do am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
As the others stated in comments, your queries are correct
Couple of things you can try :
Select your database first and remove it from your 2 create table
USE `spring_normalize`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
`username` VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
`password` VARCHAR(80) NULL,
`authority` VARCHAR(45) NULL,
`name` VARCHAR(100) NULL,
`enabled` TINYINT(1) NULL,
`email` VARCHAR(60) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`username`))
ENGINE = InnoDB;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `offers` (
`id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`text` VARCHAR(100) NULL,
`users_username` VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`, `users_username`),
INDEX `fk_offers_users_idx` (`users_username` ASC),
CONSTRAINT `fk_offers_users`
FOREIGN KEY (`users_username`)
REFERENCES `users` (`username`)
ON DELETE NO ACTION
ON UPDATE NO ACTION)
ENGINE = InnoDB;
Try to specify this before the create tables in case the engine would (weirdly) try to create the table offers before users:
-- Do not check foreign key constraints
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0;
and finally if nothing solves it, do this after having received the error, it will give you more info
SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS;

The column referenced in a foreign key needs to have an index on it. So you need to change the definition of the maschinen table to:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `lagerprogram`.`maschinen` (
`typ` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
`werkzeugsatz` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`maschinenkörper` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`elektrik` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`pneumatic` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`hydraulik` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`kühlvorrichtung` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
`vorschubeinheit` VARCHAR(45) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`typ`, `werkzeugsatz`, `maschinenkörper`, `elektrik`, `pneumatic`, `hydraulik`, `kühlvorrichtung`, `vorschubeinheit`),
KEY (`werkzeugsatz`))
ENGINE = InnoDB;
Or you can change the order of the columns in the PRIMARY KEY so that werkzeugsatz is first:
PRIMARY KEY (`werkzeugsatz`, `typ`, `maschinenkörper`, `elektrik`, `pneumatic`, `hydraulik`, `kühlvorrichtung`, `vorschubeinheit`)

Any one have any ideas? Please use simple terms, I'm not kidding when I say I don't understand.
The foreign key constraint says that each dependent's emp_id must match an existing emp_id in the employee table. So before you add this row to the dependent table, you have to add a row to employee with emp_id = 13.
