Question

I have update migrate script under db/migrate, and I did a

rake db:migrate

database script before update

class CreateStudents < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :students do |t|
      t.string :firstname
      t.string :lastname      
      t.string :account
      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end 

databse script after update

class CreateStudents < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :students do |t|
      t.string :firstname
      t.string :lastname      
      t.string :account
      t.string :address      
      t.string :city
      t.string :state
      t.string :postcode                        
      t.string :homephone
      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end 

after I dropped the old development.sqlite3 and old schema in schame.rb.
Say I added a few columns, but in the model these columns is missing.

But my model still is

class Student < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :firstname,:lastname,:account,
end

Is there a easy way I can bring the changes in new migrate script to model ?

Answer 1

It looks like maybe you did rails generate migration which isn’t meant to affect your model. I believe after you create your model everything afterward has to be done manually.

If you really want to effect changes to your database and model at the same time, your best bet might be to delete your migrations and model and do a rails generate scaffold (documentation) to create your entire scaffolding from scratch.
