4,134 PointsDevise - migrate output different from video - def self.up vs def change
Just been working through the tutorials and noticed that when I installed devise and setup the user model, my devise_create_users.rb file looked quite different:
class DeviseCreateUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table(:users) do |t|
t.database_authenticatable :null => false
t.recoverable
t.rememberable
t.trackable
# t.encryptable
# t.confirmable
# t.lockable :lock_strategy => :failed_attempts, :unlock_strategy => :both
# t.token_authenticatable
t.timestamps
end
add_index :users, :email, :unique => true
add_index :users, :reset_password_token, :unique => true
end
def self.down
drop_table :users
end
end
With this format, where do I add the t.string for :first_name, :last_name etc.? And, will it be tracking all of the same information that's listed in the video?

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Luke Scoates you can add them below the line that says "create_table(:users) do |t|" and it should work correctly.

4,134 PointsThanks Jason! I've noticed that I was having problems because I'm running rails 4 - should I be learning on 4, or is it better to build an app using an earlier version that fits with the tutorials?

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Luke Scoates it's much better to follow along with an earlier version. There are changes between versions that you'll probably spend a long time figuring out which would really put a damper on learning, though it would be great for experience. We'll be redoing the Rails lessons shortly using Rails 4.
