I'm writing my first Rails app. I've run a few rails generate model ...
and rake db:migrate
commands, but I now want to change my data model and so need to undo a few migrations.
The docs say I can undo a migration with rake db:rollback
, but this isn't working. When I run this in the console the computer thinks for a few seconds but doesn't make any changes to db/migrate/
or db/migrate/schema.rb
. No output is printed to the console.
Is this behavior correct? Shouldn't db:rollback
be changing my schema? If so, can anyone think why it might not be working?
I'm on Rails v. 3.2.6.
EDIT
At the moment rake db:migrate:status
gives
database: db/development.sqlite3

Solution (see my comment): run
rake db:migrate:status
and correct problems you find there. In this case (per @MarkThomas' followup), you might want to check all files you need are in place.
