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
== AddContact: migrating

– create_table(:contacts)

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.
