Forum: Ruby on Rails Installing rails in vendor messes up migrations

I've searched all over the web and mailing lists and can't find any info
on this problem.

I have a site built with Rails 1.1.6  I ran

rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_1-2-3

I ran db:migrate (on a fresh database)


 rake db:migrate VERSION=1 --trace
(in /home/nola/projects/tardis/website/trunk)
** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute db:migrate

SO Basically, its trying to put in a sql create statement like this:

CREATE TABLE contacts (
 `id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL auto_increment PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT NULL,
 `name` string DEFAULT NULL,
 `city` string DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB

string? when it should put in VARCHAR(255) .. weird huh?

Here's the migration:

class AddContact < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    create_table :contacts do |t|
      t.column :name, :string
      t.column :city, :string
    end
  end

  def self.down
    drop_table :contacts
  end


Any ideas? I've also tried with rel_1-2-0 too... and get the same
result. I can create a table with ints or no fields just fine. When I
remove vendor/rails then its fine.
