Rake migrate HANGS

railsroad · February 16, 2006, 7:53pm

I have been attempting to use migrations as a build a poll app.

I have created the initial file:

class CreateTablePollsAndPollOptions < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table polls do |table|
table.column ‘question’, :string
table.column ‘user_id’, :integer
table.column ‘start_time’, :datetime
table.column ‘end_time’, :datetime
end

create_table poll_options do |table|
  table.column 'poll_id', :integer
  table.column 'option_text', :string
  table.column 'option_order', :integer
end

execute 'ALTER TABLE poll_options ADD CONSTRAINT fk_polls FOREIGN

KEY ( poll_id ) REFERENCES polls( id ) ’

end

def self.down
drop_table :polls
drop_table :poll_options
end
end

However, when I attempt to migrate:

rake migrate
The system just hangs.

So I attempted:

rake migrate --trace
(in /Users/intention/work/atlrugpoll_working)
** Invoke migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute migrate
^Crake aborted! ## I hit ctrl-d because it wasn’t working

I’m running Rails 1.0.0

I’d really appreciate suggestions on how to get Migrations working.

I"m still having the same issue with:

rake migrate

It just doesn’t work on my system.
I don’t know if it’s a problem with rake, or a problem with my Rails
setup.

I’m really not sure how to troubleshoot this problem and would
appreciate any help.

thanks,
Bryan

Two things:

You can go to script/console, and run the migrations manually. From
memory, it goes like:

$ script/console

require ‘db/migrate/00n_name_of_migration’
NameOfMigration.up

That’ll show you the precise failures. Rake has a tendency to swallow
the error messages.

Use the verbose_migrations plugin.

Apparently, I’m missing some key understanding with how this should
work.

Attempted to run the migrations manually and failed.

Possibly a dumb question, but does the database exist ? migrate will
not (as far as I know) perform the CREATE DATABASE or the GRANTs…

Try AddATable.up (after requiring the file, of course…)

Is there any way someone could post the trace of a successful migration?

My migration attempts always seem to stop at the same point.

rake migrate --trace

I’d like to see how much I’m missing in the process.

I don’t see any errors, it just doesn’t work.

frustrated,
Bryan

I have no idea why this won’t work.

As I understand migrations, I’m attempting to call the method up on the
class CreateTablePollsAndPollOptions

Why am I not allowed to do this?

ruby script/console
Loading development environment.

require ‘db/migrate/001_add_a_table.rb’
=> true

AddATable.up
NameError: uninitialized constant AddATable
from
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:200:in
`const_missing’
from (irb):2

CreateTablePollsAndOptions.up
NameError: uninitialized constant CreateTablePollsAndOptions
from
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:200:in
`const_missing’
from (irb):3

The databases exist and I’m pretty sure that I set up the grants as
well.

As I understand it, if I did not have GRANTS, that would be showing an
error. At least, that’s what I seem to recall whenever I’ve attempted to
work with a db where I did not have GRANTS.

Thanks,
Bryan

Finally fixed this issue.

Somewhere in the course of setting this schema up and failed to keep the
table name consistent in the schema.

I made sure all the table names were symbols and now the migrations
worked fine.

railsroad · February 27, 2006, 5:40pm

I’m still unable to perform migrations.

I have also attempted to build the rforum app with rake migrate and it
failed as well.

Is there anyone that might understand what it going wrong here?

thanks,
Bryan
