Capistrano “cap deploy:migrations” fails since it tries to run all migrations, not only the pending ones

Question

I try to deploy with "cap deploy:migrations" since I have 3 new migrations which need to be executed on live server. The result is:

executing "cd /home/martin/public_html/project/releases/20110905131238; bundle exec rake RAILS_ENV=production  db:migrate"
    servers: ["50.56.82.190"]
    [50.56.82.190] executing command

With a previous deploy I have created a working database on the live server. I created 3 new migrations (due to image upload with new gems carrierwave and rmagick) which I would like to deploy now. Obviously cap deploy:migrations tries to run all migrations from the first one, not just the pending ones.

My deploy.rb is:

require 'bundler/capistrano'
set :application, "otg.in"
set :domain, "otg.in"
set :user, "martin"
set :sudo_use, false
set :repository, "git@github.com:Martin118/otg.in.git"
set :local_repository,  '~/rails_projects/otg.in/.git'
set :port, 48000
set :deploy_to, "/home/martin/public_html/#{application}"
set :scm, :git
set :branch, "master"
default_run_options[:pty] = true
ssh_options[:forward_agent] = true

server "50.56.82.190", :app, :web, :db, :primary => true

after "deploy", "deploy:bundle_gems"
after "deploy:bundle_gems", "deploy:restart"
after "deploy:update_code", "deploy:migrate"
after "deploy", "deploy:cleanup"

# Passenger
namespace :deploy do
     task :bundle_gems do
    run "cd #{deploy_to}/current && bundle install vendor/gems"
  end
  task :start do ; end
  task :stop do ; end
  task :restart, :roles => :app, :except => { :no_release => true } do
    run "#{try_sudo} touch #{File.join(current_path,'tmp','restart.txt')}"
  end
end

require 'whenever/capistrano'

I run rails 3.0.8, cap deploy:check gives me "You appear to have all necessary dependencies installed".

Any ideas? Or do you need more information?

Thanks for your help!

schema.rb on live is:

ActiveRecord::Schema.define(:version => 20110130000344) do

  create_table "businesses", :force => true do |t|
    t.string   "business_name"
    t.string   "postal_code"
    t.string   "business_email"
    t.string   "phone"
    t.string   "fax"
    t.string   "web"
    t.text     "description"
    t.datetime "created_at"
    t.datetime "updated_at"
    t.integer  "user_id"
    t.text     "address"
    t.integer  "city_id"
    t.integer  "state_id"
  end

  create_table "cities", :force => true do |t|
    t.string   "name"
    t.datetime "created_at"
    t.datetime "updated_at"
    t.integer  "state_id"
  end

  create_table "states", :force => true do |t|
    t.datetime "created_at"
    t.datetime "updated_at"
    t.string   "name"
  end

  create_table "users", :force => true do |t|
    t.string   "name"
    t.string   "email"
    t.datetime "created_at"
    t.datetime "updated_at"
    t.string   "encrypted_password"
    t.string   "salt"
    t.boolean  "admin",              :default => false
  end

  add_index "users", ["email"], :name => "index_users_on_email", :unique => true

end

Another update: select * from schema_migrations; on my development database gives me:

+----------------+ | version | +----------------+ | 20110112163009 | | 20110113141953 | | 20110113192958 | | 20110114214158 | | 20110115002206 | | 20110119100832 | | 20110120134443 | | 20110127171331 | | 20110127171427 | | 20110127171921 | | 20110127172903 | | 20110127183252 | | 20110129201949 | | 20110129204159 | | 20110129205833 | | 20110130000344 | | 20110808142844 | | 20110809133339 | | 20110809142303 | | 20110809154349 | | 20110810092306 | | 20110810093531 | | 20110812085010 | +----------------+

But checking this with MySQL workbench I get (still development database):

Error: project_development.schema_migrations: table data is not editable because there is no primary key defined for the table

Also, the select * from schema_migrations on the productions database gives me just one migration (the last before I try to update):

+----------------+ | version | +----------------+ | 0 | | 20110130000344 | +----------------+

Has anyone an idea what happend here?

Thanks!

The solution was to add the missing migrations into schema_migrations by hand. Somehow it seems that this table lost some of it's data. Anyhow, by adding the migrations that have already been done directly with "INSERT into schema_migrations (version) values ('2011....');", then cap deploy:migrations ran smoothly starting with just the new ones.
