Db migrate failure in new 6.0.5

Ruby Apps Typo
1

I’m setting up a fresh typo 6.0.5 installation. Downloaded and untarred
the 6.0.5 tarball. Ran ‘bundle install’ and then tried rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production. The database existed, but was empty. I expected
everything to run smoothly, of course, so I am surprised to be seeing
this:

Creating shortened URL for existing contents, this may take a moment
rake aborted!
An error has occurred, all later migrations canceled:

The single-table inheritance mechanism failed to locate the subclass:
‘Page’. This error is raised because the column ‘type’ is reserved for
storing the class in case of inheritance. Please rename this column if
you
didn’t intend it to be used for storing the inheritance class or
overwrite
Content.inheritance_column to use another column for that information.

Tasks: TOP => db:migrate
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

What am I missing? I can’t imagine there is/was a problem with the
database as I’m staring with a fresh empty database. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi Alan,

Sadly, this is a known bug :-(. I’m working on an overhaul of the
migrations, many of which were created in prehistory, but I’ll try to
rush a fix for this particular problem today.

In the mean time, you can take a look at

http://fdv.lighthouseapp.com/projects/11171/tickets/209-single-table-inheritance-problem

The patch there apparently works (though I have not tested it myself),
but DO be sure to remove it once the migration is done.

Regards,
Matijs

Matijs,

I went ahead and pulled down a clone of the typo git repo and noted in
the
git log that you committed a change that says it fixes issue #209.
Given
your fix, I chose to re-attempt my typo install using this code instead
of
making the patch to 6.0.5. Unfortunately, the problem as described
below
persists.

Is it possible that commit #a7964f4 was subsequently re-broken by one of
the two following commits?

For the time being, I’ve decided to just work with 6.0.5 and the patch.

Thanks.

Hi Alan,

I thought I understood the issues involved in this bug, but apparently I
didn’t.
I have now committed what I think is the Ultimate Fix™ for this bug.
Please
check it out if you like.
