Migrations silently fail when passed invalid field [data] type
Reported by Daniel Heath | September 29th, 2009 @ 02:49 AM
The following, when run as part of a migration, should warn the user that the field was not created as it was invalid. Instead, it is silently ignored.
create_table "account_services", :force => true, :primary_key
=> "record_id" do |t|
t.fail "should report an error" end
Running Rails 2.3.4

I just ran into the same issue. I had a typo in my migration, and thus the field wasn't created. I scratched my head for a while, wondering why my database didn't have the field, yet it was in my migration file!
Here's the full migration (it was a HMT model): class CreateEmployeeSoftwares < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :employee_softwares do |t| t.integer :software_id t.intger :employee_id t.timestamps end end def self.down drop_table :employee_softwares end end
Notice I had t. "intger", I was missing an "e". At no point did the migration fail or warn me that "intger" isn't a valid data type.
