Hey, I need to use “longtext” as a data type in a migration.
It works when I make create a table, like this:
create_table :joes do |t|
t.column :lots_o_content, :longtext
end
But if I try to add it to another table in a later migration, like this:
add_column :sams, :lots_o_other_content, :longtext
Then I get this error when trying to run the migration:
– add_column(:sams, :lots_o_other_content, :longtext)
rake aborted!
You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]
My question is, how can I add a column of type “longtext” in a
migration?

You can’t, as it isn’t one of the column types, use :text, which is
what you want for a text blob:
