TDD, SVN and migrations seem to be a natural combination for model development: create a test, add the column with a migration, write the code, and check it all in when you''re done. The trouble is that this ends up creating one migration per field. I guess it''s not horrible in and of itself, but it does have a code smell to it. Has anyone come up with a different way of doing

Is it possible to specify that certain tables not be cleared on each example. I''ve inherited a project where a good amount of enumerated data is stored in the database (US States, statuses, about 15-20 tables worth. Over all, it''s a reasonable decision that leads to solid production code (acts_as_enumerated is good). This data is read-only and relatively static; any

Hi again :), I''m playing with migrations. I''ve created some migrations classes and with rake db:migrate the tables are created and altered fine, but then I dropped some of the tables and when I run db:migrate command again I don''t get tables being re-created. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to run db:migration in order to drop the tables? -- Posted via

I''ve got a spec that loads a fixture in the "before" block. This works fine running scripts/spec, but when I run rake spec instead, I get: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in ''User in fixture :quentin with an IM service but no IM name should be invalid'' Mysql::Error: Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails

Is there some standard way to test migrations? It seems to me that an additional safeguard for migrations would be to test and see if applying the migrations to the test database allows one to reconstruct the structure of the development database. If you can''t, then there is an error in your migrations, most likely because someone hand-modified the database without generating a

Anyone have any tips for handling postgres constraints when using fixtures to load the database, other than to sort out the proper insertion orders or leaving the constraints out? I''d prefer not to do the former since I''d rather use my app to generate my fixture data (using a dump_fixtures task) and I''d prefer not to do the latter because leaving out constraints till the

Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone can help me with a migrations question here.

I''m working on a bugtracker application in rails. I have a Bug model and I want to add a Priority to the mix. A Bug can have one priority. I generate a Priority model, modify my Bug model with a belongs_to :priority and create my migration like so: class CreatePriorities < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :priorities do |t| t.column :name, :string,

Hello All, Yesterday i put RoR with Locomotive. I am very happy :p. So I follow this tuto (http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html). I used Sqlite. my database.yml # MySQL (default setup).

Hi, I am trying to figure out an approach to load in our initial data into our database. I have written some load_data migrations which populate a lot of the stuff, how some of the database items are images etc and I am trying to figure out how to approach added them to the database during a rake db:migrate I am thinking if I store the files in a folder off the RAILS_ROOT I should be able to

Good Evening, I need some advice. I am in a position at work where I''ve got the boss pretty excited about rails. I think I could swing the Next Generation version of our product to use rails as the platform, but I find myself a little hesitant to do so until I''ve answered a few issues that I''m hoping people on this list could help me with. Firstly, we are tied to

I''m working on a plugin which needs to add both schema and data to the app database, and I''m trying to figure out the best way to do it. I''d like to use a db migration to modify the schema and load the data from a YAML fixture, but Rails doesn''t seem to support migrations for plugins. To do so, the schema_info table would need to change to include a

Hi all, I just watched the rail video: http://www.rubyonrails.org/media/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov I am just curious. I can tell that the video was done on a Mac, but I cannot tell which applications were used for editing the code, and for interfacing with MySQL database. As far as editing source code, I normally use BBEdit (I''ve used it since 1994), but the editor used in

I''m just getting into writing tests for my first RoR app. I''ve got a few data migrations to load reference data (i.e. 2-char state abbrevs, payment types, etc.). How do I get that data into the test database? I understand fixtures are to load test data. But if I duplicate these lookup tables in test fixtures, it seems like that is violating the DRY principle. Is that OK in

Recently I''ve wanted to be able to take the data I''ve painstakingly defined in my fixture files and slurp it up into my development database so I can play with my website (locally, in development mode) with the same data I use in my tests. In a similar vein, I want to take the table definitions in the development_structure.sql file and use it to re-define my development
