rake db:migrate gives an error

Question

I just tried to migrate, but my console returns this

StandardError: An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:

SQLite3::SQLException: duplicate column name: encrypted_password: ALTER TABLE "users" ADD "encrypted_password" varchar DEFAULT '' NOT NULL

I understand that I accidentally created a table twice and have to do changes in my migration file? If so, where can I find it? Dropping the whole database would be a good solution, too in my case.

I just need to know how. All the solutions I found so far didn't work for me.

UPDATE: When I do

rake db:migrate:down VERSION=20160914093125

The console says

== 20160914093125 DeviseCreateUsers: reverting ================================ -- remove_index(:users, {:column=>:reset_password_token}) -> 0.0013s -- remove_index(:users, {:column=>:email}) -> 0.0006s -- drop_table(:users) -> 0.0003s == 20160914093125 DeviseCreateUsers: reverted (0.0025s) =======================

Are these the points i should change?

Answer 1

If you know the migration file, which you want to revert back, then use this,

For eg, if this is the migration file,
20123219103503_add_name_field_to_user.rb

then copy the numbers in the file and then run the following in your terminal prompt,

rake db:migrate:down VERSION=20123219103503

make editions in the migration files, then run

rake db:migrate

from terminal

Answer 2

You may have modified the database schema manually or changed a migration file being run.

If you dont need the data in the database, a rake db:reset would re-run all migrations from scratch.

You could also try to migrate your database to version 0 with command: rake db:migrate VERSION=0 and then run rake db:migrate

---

If you want to drop the whole database as you stated, you can do either of the following:

rake db:drop simply drops the whole database.

rake db:reset db:migrate will reset your database and reload the current schema.

rake db:drop db:create db:migrate will destroy your database and then create it and then migrate your current schema.

All data will be lost in the above 3 scenarios.

---

You could also comment out the method in the migration file, then run rake db:migrate as below:

Normal Migration File:

class AddEncryptedPaddwordToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    add_column :users, :encrypted_password, :string
  end
end

Just comment out the method but leave the class, so it would be:

class AddEncryptedPaddwordToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
  # def change
  #   add_column :users, :encrypted_password, :string
  # end
end

Then run rake db:migrate . Essentially this is a work around that tells rails to skip the migration
