I recently upgraded Cucumber gem from 0.1.16 to 0.3.11. I ran ruby  
script/generate cucumber.

When I ran rake features I received an error telling me I had pending  
migrations and should run rake db:migrate. I ran rake db:migrate  
despite fact that my db is up to date. I was confused that the  
migrations ran from the beginning. However the migrations seem to  
have no effect on my database. Eventually an error came up that a  
table already exists. All the tables already exist.

In the log an early error Error: Table ‘schema\_info’ already exists:  
CREATE TABLE `schema_info`. However, my migration number is stored in  
schema\_migrations.

I’m having real trouble making sense of this. I would be very  
grateful is someone could suggest some debugging techniques. I’ve  
tried using --trace, but this does not help.

Many thanks,

Mike
