I''m going through the ''Depot'' project in "Agile Web Development with Rails". I just made the 003_add_test_data.rb file and when I do a "rake db:migrate", I get this error and I can''t figure out what is wrong: rake aborted! ./db/migrate//003_add_test_data.rb:5: parse error, unexpected tSYMBEG 5. :description => (and the ''d'' in description has a little arrow below it pointing up) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The language is so flexible that it provides confusing diagnostics. This is why I compile and test after only a few edits. Post your whole file. Something on the line before this one left the parser not expecting a symbol. -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand <-- NOT a blog!! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Ok.. I''m an idiot. When I had copied code from somewhere, it copied in the line numbers, and it looked normal to me, but it wasn''t in my editor obviously. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Now that I''m not getting that error, the "rake db:migrate" command doesn''t seem to do anything at all... Nothing is input into the database at all. Here is what I get when I type in "rake db:migrate" (in C:/InstantRails/rails_apps/work/depot) And then it returns me to the command prompt. Any idea why it isn''t doing anything at all? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You might have successfully migrated up as far as you can. When you''re all migrated up, rake db:migrate does that.
