Rails model update doen't work after cap migrate

Question

I have a Rails 3.2 application and I have some issues on the production side:

I have a model 'Poject' and did a migration to add a string for 'description'. running rake db:migrate works fine on my developer machine like all the times. But when I do a cap deploy and cap migrate on the production server I cannot update my project models which where already in the database. Only new ones work fine. I'm using postgres 9.1

I don't know what's the issue here since its working fine on my local machine.

Regards

Oliver

Answer 1

Thank you, I did run the cap deploy:migrate task. But here the problem was that I was validating the existence of a newly created field and this caused the trouble with the records which where already in the database.

thanks.

I think what you are looking for is cap deploy:migrate.

Run the migrate rake task. By default, it runs this in most recently deployed
version of the app...
