Rails - Apr 2007 - Rake aborted - syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND

I can''t create tables via rake db:migrate without encountering this
error:

rake aborted!
./db/migrate//001_create_users_table.rb:11: syntax error, unexpected
$end, expecting kEND


The 001_create_users_table.rb file contains:

class CreateUsersTable < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
     create_table "users" do |table|
  end

  def self.down
  end
end


I''ve recently installed RoR (as per
http://hivelogic.com/narrative/articles/ruby-rails-mongrel-mysql-osx)
and have been able to verify that everything is installed. I can create
tables ''manually'' in MySQL databases, but rake is failing
every time
with the same error as above.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I''m investigating RoR with a
view
to building some web apps with it, but this is hardly an auspicious
beginning.

You have a do in the line above which should be terminated with an end.  
This "end" closes the "do" above, but nothing closes the
"def" for the
self.up method.

Try something like:

class CreateUsersTable < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
     create_table "users" do |table|
     #do something here like creating fields inside the table
     end
  end

  def self.down
  end
end


Cheers
Mohit.

Thanks for your reply - you''re quite right, of course. I''ll
pay more
attention when copying and pasting sample code next time!
