I am not sure if this is a bug or if this actually removed a migration.rb file. I used generate to create the following migration: MB-A:sample_app sm$ rails generate migration add_delta_to_submissions invoke active_record create db/migrate/20111020175649_add_delta_to_submissions.rb I then realized that I neglected to include any columns, so I used the UP ARROW in the console and overwrote generate with destroy: MB-A:sample_app sm$ rails destroy migration add_delta_to_submissions invoke active_record remove db/migrate/20111020175649_add_delta_to_submissions.rb All good so far, now its time to run the migration with the column I need. Here is where the problem comes in - I used the UP ARROW again - but only once - and added my column info to the DESTROY command: MB-A:sample_app sm$ rails destroy migration add_delta_to_submissions delta:integer invoke active_record remove migration.rb I realize I should probably NOT be using the UP ARROW for commands as volatile as GENERATE and DESTROY (lesson learned!), but that command responded by stating it REMOVED the migration.rb file. I didn''t even know there was a migration.rb file - especially not one that could be removed so easily. For kicks, I decided to try and trick the command console by adding the letter x to the end of word migration - and received this message: MB-A:sample_app sm$ rails destroy migrationx add_delta_to_submissions delta:integer Could not find generator migrationx. So, I think there could be a bug with the rails destroy command. Once it realized there was no longer a add_delta_to_submissions.rb file, it just lopped that off and tacked on the .rb to the word migration (or any word after DESTROY). That seems a bit dangerous.... Regardless of that - I am curious to know if I have somehow compromised my RAILS environment now that the migration.rb file has been removed. If so - what are my options for fixing that situation? Many thanks in advance... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
