Yesterday, i wrote a little TextMate command which helps writing rails db test fixtures. It’s an auto snippet with a tag trigger of item which gets dynamically generated from db/schema.rb I wrote about it in my blog [http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/articles/2007/10/09/my-first-serious-textmate-automation](http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/articles/2007/10/09/my-first-serious-textmate-automation) Now the question, the macromates web site has a screencast of the rails bundle, in which Duane J. shows some neat migration snippets which don’t appear in the standard Rails bundle shipped with TextMate (my TextMate is about a month old, and Duane’s screencast is from last year. In particular, he shows things like mdct which generates a drop table in the up method of a migration, and a create table in the down method derived from db/schema.db. Following links got me to [http://www.socialtwister.com/2006/03/07/syncpeople-on-rails-textmate-bundle](http://www.socialtwister.com/2006/03/07/syncpeople-on-rails-textmate-bundle) And from there to a download page for the syncPeople rails bundle. This seems to be a replacement for the standard TextMate rubyonrails bundle. Is there a reason why the additional function isn’t in the ‘current’ textmate ROR bundle? Rails 1.2 incompability perhaps? – Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby [http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/](http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/)
