Rails - Apr 2007 - Migrations: determine migration number in self.up()?

Hi all

I need to know the number of a migration within the self.up() method,
and I DON''T WANT TO RELY ON THE FILENAME (XXX_my_migration.rb).

So is there a way to determine it somehow?

def self.up
  puts ''doing migration number '' + migration_number()
end

Thanks a lot for help.
Josh

Not so nice, but you can try that :

def self.up
  puts "doing migration number :
#{::ActiveRecord::Migrator.current_version}"
end

Thanks a lot!

May I ask what the prepended :: means and how it works?

::ActiveRecord::Migrator.current_version

I remarked that the returned number does NOT correspond with the file 
name''s number. Is this because the file number itself is only used for 
sorting the migrations in ascending order and not because it is 
recognized as a number itself?

Thanks.

Another question:

migration_number = ::ActiveRecord::Migrator.current_version.to_i

gives me an error:

String can''t be coerced into Fixnum

What can I do? The output is "0" (zero), so why is there a problem?
