Rake migrate RAILS_ENV="production"

Rails
1

On the wiki it says to migrate your DB to production, you can run:

rake migrate RAILS_ENV=“production”

This is taken from:

Peak Obsession

My database is set up with correct MySQL permissions granted and the
database.yml is pointing at it. I get no errors when I run it, but
equally my production database does not change at all. When I run the
comment I just get this:

dave$ rake migrate RAILS_ENV=“production”
(in /Users/dave/Sites/sampleapp)
dave$

What am I doing wrong?

Try it the other way round:

RAILS_ENV=production rake migrate

Unfortunately that doesnt work either, same result.

I also found mention of an environment variable called RAILS_ENV so I
also tried the following:

$ set RAILS_ENV=production
$ rake migrate

Unfortunately, nothing new happened…

export RAILS_ENV=production
rake migrate

Are you sure you haven’t manually set the value in environment.rb …

This worked, i’ll see if I can update the Wiki because I guess that
should contain the correct instructions :slight_smile:

Are you really sure that ‘RAILS_ENV=production rake migrate’ didn’t
work? That’s what I use all the time…

For the newbies out there like me:

In the environment.rb file the environment type has to be in quotes like
so:

RAILS_ENV=“production”

Was there a resolution to this issue? I’m having the same problem where
ruby script/console shows an error but RAILS_ENV shows production.

Given that the original message was from 2006, picked up again by
someone in 2010 – maybe you should start a new thread with a clear
description of your problem (which doesn’t match that of the OP). :slight_smile:
