Rails - Aug 2006 - Migration crashes when using braces to delimit blocks

Hi,

  I have been using a bit of ruby here and there for scripting jobs for a year 
or so, and more recently have started dabbling in rails.  I was wondering if 
anyone can help me with a strange behaviour I am getting when trying to run a 
migration.  If I delimit a block for the create_table method with braces, the 
migration crashes, whereas the exact same code with the braces replaced by 
do/end runs fine.  Does anybody have any idea why this would be?

Thanks,

Michael.


========== Migration Code: =========
class SimplifiedVersion < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
  	
	create_table :functional_rights { |t|  # A table storing the actions on a 
given controller that a given right allows a user to perform.
		t.column :name, :string, :null => false
		t.column :controller, :string, :null => false
		t.column :action, :string, :null => false
	}
	
  end

  def self.down
  	drop_table :functional_rights
  end
end


========== Output from rake: =========

rake aborted!

Hmm, posted to soon, I''ve found the answer.  It''s a precedence
thing -- if I
wrap the parameter to create_table in parentheses, everything is fine.
