ActiveRecord::PendingMigrationError

After running a rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=test as the video suggested, I can no longer run rails because I get an error that tells me that migrations are pending. To resolve, I can run db:migrate RAILS_ENV=development, but that doesn't fix the issue either.

try running

rake test:prepare

and see if that solves anything

Nope, it didn't do anything. How can I undo a scaffold?

Found the issue, I had accidentally typed test instead of text when I wrote description:text in my scaffold call.

try running a plain

rake db:migrate

first before you try and undo your scaffold. if you are sure you want to undo the scaffold you can use

rails destroy scaffold scaffoldName
