A Single Task to Migrate, Redo Migration, Prepare Test Db and Annotate

Wed, Feb 9, 2011

Hi!

My first blog post to announce my first gem: migrate-well. It’s a very simple one, it adds a rake task db:migrate:well that runs the tasks db:migrate, db:migrate:redo, rake db:test:prepare and annotate. I was tired to type all those commands each time…

To install: add gem “migrate-well” in your Gemfile and run bundle install.

To run: rake db:migrate:well

Options (updated February 15, 2011):

• redo=false: don’t run the db:migrate:redo task
• test=false: don’t run the db:test:prepare task
• anno=false: don’t run the annotate command

Examples:

• run without annotating: rake db:migrate:well anno=false
• run without annotating and without redoing the migration: rake db:migrate:well anno=false redo=false

That’s all!
