Question

Running Rails 3.2.8, devise 2.1.2.

I noticed that the migration contains blank defaults:

class DeviseCreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table(:users) do |t|
      ## Database authenticatable
      t.string :email,              :null => false, :default => ""
      t.string :encrypted_password, :null => false, :default => ""
      ......

But that schema.rb contains something else:

  create_table "users", :force => true do |t|
    t.string   "email",                  :default => "''''", :null => false
    t.string   "encrypted_password",     :default => "''''", :null => false
    .....

And these defaults, '''', are showing up in my registration forms, etc. Why does this happen? Is there any risk to changing these defaults with another migration?

Answer 1

I think you can change the defaults with no problem.

One of my schema.rb file have this lines (which I think is working fine):

  create_table "users", :force => true do |t|
    t.string   "email",                               :default => "", :null => false
    t.string   "encrypted_password",   :limit => 128, :default => "", :null => false
