Rails Generator Fails with Existing Migration
Reported by ramaboo | March 29th, 2011 @ 06:19 PM
I have a basic rails project and run a generator
$ rails g scaffold foo name:string
Pretty straight forward. I am creating a Foo model with a name field. The controller runs fine however if I run the same command again say something like this (realizing that I forgot the age field):
$ rails g scaffold foo name:string age:string
I get the following error
Another migration is already named create_foos:
/var/www/chimporter.com/db/migrate/20110329171246_create_foos.rb
The preferred action would be some sort of Do you want to override prompt that is common on the other controller actions. If I delete the above migration file I can then run the second migration and overwrite the existing files as expected.
Solution
Add an overwrite prompt to the active_record generator.
