ActiveRecord::Migrations

This gem provides opinionated support for ActiveRecord migrations in non-Rails applications. It's more opinionated than active_record_migrations and standalone-migrations, and therefore simpler to configure.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'activerecord-migrations'

Add something like this to tasks/db.rake

require 'active_record/migrations/tasks'
# The root must be the root of your application, and contain `db/`.
ActiveRecord::Migrations.root = File.dirname(__dir__)

Somewhere else, ensure you have a suitable environment task, e.g:

task :environment do
	# This must be a symbol... or establish_connection thinks it's a URL.
	DATABASE_ENV = :development
	
	ActiveRecord::Base.configurations = {
		# This key must be a string or it will not be matched by ActiveRecord:
		'development' => {
			# Using symbols for keys is fixed by this gem.
			adapter: 'sqlite3',
			database: 'db/development.db'
		}
	}
	
	# Connect to database:
	unless ActiveRecord::Base.connected?
		ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(DATABASE_ENV)
	end
end

This gem includes an additional task db:deploy which is designed to assist with deployment of sites with databases. When deploying a site for the first time, this task will create the database and load the seed data, then run any outstanding migrations. If deploying the site to an existing database it will simply run migrations.

The typical usage is to run db:fixtures:update which will generate all the required files into db/fixtures/$DATABASE/, which includes the contents of all tables and the current schema.rb.

Fixtures are generated into db/fixtures/$DATABASE_ENV/$TABLE_NAME.yml by running rake db:fixtures:dump. You can limit this to specific tables by editing db/fixtures/$DATABASE_ENV/tables.conf which is loaded if present, or by specifying TABLES=table1,table2 environment variable.

This gem replaces the existing data seed mechanism with db:fixtures:load.
